Among our Pork suppliers is David Orpwood from Woods Farm near Watlington, set in the rolling hills of the South Oxfordshire countryside. The Pork from these pigs is amazing and a testament to the care and effort that Woods Farm uses throughout. The pigs are bred from Duroc cross Landrace sows with a meatline Large White Boar.
Great British Lamb sums it up. Whether from the Welsh Hills or the West Country, our lamb is second to none and reflects the natural conditions in which it is reared. Good grazing & clear clean air are key to Great Lamb. So with a great product to start with our butchers can prepare a wonderful Lamb Leg Roast, a succulent French Trimmed Rack of Lamb or a tasty Lamb Leg Knuckle.
Oxfordshire again provides a wonderful product in our great value Chickens, whether whole, halved or cut into Legs, Thighs, Breasts & Supremes etc. We also offer the superb Shropshire & Highbury Free Range Chicken, where each bird carries on it the name of the farmer who reared it.

Why not try Gressingham Duck - whole or in cuts, or we can pop across the channel and bring home some Corn Fed Chicken, Guinea Fowl or the famous Magret Duck - again either whole or as breast and legs.
We supply a wide selection of sausages in different sizes and flavours, from the traditional butcher 6's to our very popular pork with herb breakfast sausage - what a great way to start the day. All our pork sausages are made from prime pork shoulder and belly meat.

Our most popular sausages are the Cumberland, Lincoln, Pork and Leek and Old English sausage, but many other varieties are available such as: Beef & Guiness, Beef & Mustard, Chicken & Apricot, Duck, Orange & Apricot, Venison, Lamb & Rosemary, Pork, Honey & Mustard, Pork & Stilton and Wild Boar & Apple.
Our experienced butchers in the shop offer service with a smile along with excellent advice, but if you do not have time to pop in then hopefully this advice page will help! Beef Cuts: lions, shanks, briskets and chuck - if all the different cuts confuse you when deciding what to cook, this will help you buy the right cut of beef for the right job, whether that's grilling, stewing, braising or roasting.

Wonderful service with a real community feel. Online ordering is useful too. We wouldn't get our Christmas turkey anywhere else! Everything else they do is great too and service is always with a smile - just watching the way regular customers are greeted by the staff proves how friendly they are. Super establishment.

Such a great place. The guys behind the counter are super lovely and very helpful, always feel welcome walking in the shop. The meat is really good quality, grass fed which gives it a better nutritional profile, and very good price too. They stock some gems like local eggs and artisan butter and cheese too. This place was a life saver during lockdown.

Excellent local Butcher. High quality products. Very friendly staff. As a bonus there is plenty of parking right behind Morissons and on Sundays there is a farmer's market there as well. It's become my 'go to' place for all my meat purchasing needs.

First order delivered today, few bits for the bbq. Fantastic quality of food! Very smart box, and all packaging and papers to a very high quality. Next day delivery was £3.99 I think extremely reasonable. Will be ordering again for sure thank you

Very friendly and helpful. Meat looks great quality and there was a huge amount of choice. The scotch egg was one of the best I've ever had. Will make reducing my meat consumption significantly harder!

Visited 'The Caversham Butcher' for the first time yesterday. I was really pleased with the customer service who work there, very friendly and good humour. I got some lovely bacon and sausages from there and a cheeky scotch egg and sausage roll. The meat was really tasty and well priced and not that much more expensive than a supermarket but the quality was far better. Will defiantly be visiting again! Thanks guys, Josh.

My week is incomplete without a pilgrimage to this holy Meat Mecca. Outstanding quality and butcher expertise always satisfies even my most demanding cut requests. The surrounding high street retailers ought to close their meat aisles out of sheer respect.
