John founded the shop on Plumstead Road that still exists to this day. His son, James (Jimmy) Archer, came into the trade as soon as he was allowed to leave school and in the early 80s bought the business from his father. Since then the business developed and the shop doubled in size to cope with the extra demand, and a delicatessen and baguette takeaway were added.
If for some reason there is an item that you have ordered and it is out of stock we will notify you as soon as possible and arrange to either swap the item for something similar or offer you a refund on the item. All consignments are made to order and vacuum packed or in over wrapped trays to ensure that goods arrive in acceptable hygienic state.
For us, entering competitions is a great way of evaluating our products and receiving feedback from some of the most respected food critics in the country. Not only is it good for product development but the positive publicity we receive is always welcome. 2020 National Craft Butchers Best kitchen ready product for our Italian stuffed pork fillet.
Your shop is the best butcher's for miles around. Your staff are always helpful (even the gentle mickey-taking is first class!) and know their stuff, and your produce is second to none. It's good to see a local shop run by people who take pride in constantly improving. As anyone who has tasted them will know, your sausages are the best by a considerable margin.

Simply the best butchers in Norwich. Very knowledgeable, really helpful staff in all aspects of butchery.
The sandwich element of the store is absolutely fantastic. Proper treat to have one of their rolls. The meat is tender and cooked to perfection.
Do yourself a favour and get down to Archers for some proper grub.

Recently ordered a massive bundle of meat from here to fill up my freezer! The quality of the meat is amazing! You can tell how fresh it is and the care taken in preparation of the cuts. As for the ready meals… we tried the dauphinois potato’s which we had with some fillet steak. That’s now going to be a goto meal. And we are looking forward to trying what other things this place has to offer! The staff treat you like a person nothing is too much or an inconvenience they really take care of you as well as the food they sell you!

Normally visit for their hot filled baguettes. Good customer service and depends on who serves you, you get a smile and not a grumpy face. Can be really busy and sometimes they will run out of the favourite fillings (pork) but pretty decent filled baguettes and worth the drive. Our favourite are the chilli dogs or the Philly Beef.
