The business is still owned by the Church family 130 years later, still trading from the same site where the original shop stood, and still maintaining the same values that Stephen Church did all those years ago. We strive to provide the best quality produce and service to our customers, and are meticulous with the way we source our meat.
Much of it comes from local farms - places where we can ensure quality and high animal welfare standards. All of our meat can be traced back to the farm where it was raised.

With Church's originally trading as a pork butchers, our English pork which is responsibly sourced from farms in Essex, is outdoor reared and excellent in both taste and quality. We cut all pork by hand every day of the week, to ensure our customers enjoy their products at maximum freshness and quality.
Our bacon and gammon is locally sourced, before arriving on premises where our team of expert butchers do the necessary work on site. Our bacon is sliced by hand, whilst our gammons are boned out and packed by our team for quality assurance purposes. We offer dry cure, smoked and unsmoked in a range of traditional cuts.
Our deli counter is a firm favourite among our customers. A large range of home cooked ready-to-eat meals, cheese, pate and cooked sausages as well as freshly baked pies/sausage rolls and home-cooked meats. We debone, steam, breadcrumb and slice all of our meats in the shop every week to ensure we have the best quality and freshest produce available.

We hired Church butchers for my mums 60th party, from enquiring to booking to the party itself everything was smooth sailing. Victoria and Jay were so chatty and friendly with all the guests and the food was absolutely amazing, top quality meat and more than enough for all of our guests. Everyone complimented the food and the service. We cannot thank you enough for helping the day go as well as it did. Will definitely be using/recommending you in future!

I have lived in Epping for 21 years now and thats how long we have been using them. The food is always fantastic. The staff go above and beyond for you and if you have any special requests they will always get them in for you. We wouldn’t buy our meat from anywhere else, top quality and wonderful friendly staff.

Advice given for cut of meat and how to cook and also do a great hog roast at local event. If you live anywhere near it’s a must visit for your meat so much better than the supermarkets!
