Wherever you live, you can now experience the succulent flavour and texture of superbly prepared meat. Exactly the same quality of meat that customers have been raving about for years, and a far cry from the bland supermarket equivalent. We can still supply you with traditional cuts that no longer appear on the shelves of the larger stores.

Producing the finest quality meat is all about selecting 100% traceable animals that have been properly treated and fed, then using skills that are honed by years of experience to bring the final product to you in the best condition possible. Our shop has featured in a number of books by well known chefs including Rick Stein, Clarissa Dixon-Wright and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Our current shop has been home to a butcher since the turn of the century. Since it opened there have only been three owners. Wakeling's took over the shop in 1952 and when Claude Wakeling retired in 1978 it was run by his son Roger. Roger Wakeling was a gold medalist and top student at Smithfield College (1964). in 1980 the business won a 'Q' Guild of Butchers award.

Recently popped in for the first time in order to get some sirloins for my birthday. I was up-sold a sort of 1.7kg tomahawk steak and cooked it as a cote de beof. It was absolutely amazing and certainly not a bit of meat I would have asked for. This is in my opinion one of the greatest advantages of using a real butcher. They are able to tell you about something you wouldn't normally be able to buy. I can say that it was one of the best bits of meat I have ever eaten. Absolutely fantastic. Many thanks.

Amazing butchers. In the summer I ordered a brisket to bbq. Got 5 kilos worth. The meat was glorious and the staff offered advice in seasoning etc. I recently ordered their "gentleman's roast"..... oh my goodness. Getting hungry as I type!!!

I stopped by on Saturday just has he was closing up and he graciously reopened the shop for me. I wanted a bit of topside for Sunday roast and I came out with half a cow and some huge pork chop for amazing price! Lovely service and I will be a loyal local customer from now on. 👍😋
