I love this place. If you're a lover of all meat options this place has to be done. Homemade pies, sausage rolls and scotch eggs....local produce from baker's too
Had the first of their homemade chicken and ham pies...OMG the chicken pieces were huge same with the ham, plus pastry like my mum's -Lush 😁👍😁
Totally recommend them if you like your game too

Looking forward to getting back within range of Coleman's - we've been away. Best meat and meat products anywhere. The staff know the provenance of everything, and most of it is very local. And the staff are lovely!

The best pork belly strip £15 could buy! Seasoned with a Wicked Hot n Spicy BBQ Rub-locally sourced from Tesco Highwoods 😁 Ready for a long slow bbq grill tomorrow afternoon.

Ordered for the first time for Christmas and I couldn't be more impressed. Incredible, fresh meat delivered to my door, excellent value for money and the food went down a treat over festive period. Can't wait to order again! Thank you!

I have been going to Coleman's for over 20 years and have never been disappointed by the quality of the meat, and more recently vegetables. There is always a cheery welcome and excellent service from knowledgeable butchers.

We visited Coleman’s for the first time this weekend. The service was great, meat is amazing (had the pork joint and it was fantastic) and good prices. Will definitely be going back once we need to top up.
