Services
Captured by food preparation at an early age, he qualified as a chef and went on to work in some of the UK's finest hotel kitchens before his love of larder preparation led him to train under the highly respected Q guild butcher Eric Walmsley. Jonathan is the Vice Chairman of North West QGuild and regularly visits some of the finest butchers and product suppliers around the UK and Internationally, looking at new trends and training.
At Walmsleys we have extended ourselves beyond the role of the traditional family butcher and taken the view of developing a range of products that inspire our customers and make it easier for them to source the ingredients they need to prepare a fine dining experience at home.

The provenance of our meat and traceability from farm to fork is something we're passionate about, which is why we take great care in selecting our suppliers and regularly visiting their farms.As well as being experts in the preparation of meat products, our friendly staff are more than happy to give advice on certain cuts of meat, or to prepare meat in a specific way for a chosen recipe.
At Walmsleys, we have a long history of producing award winning sausages, so much so, every variety has won a gold medal at the slavacto european food awards. Produced from locally sourced Pork from farms in Lancashire, combined with fresh herbs and spices on the premises at Walmsleys.

The range includes all the favourites like Cumberland and Pork & Chive, our Special Pork is a must try for those who love a classic banger, then there's the Lancashire, Caramelised Onion and Morroccan Lamb.
Since succulent and tasty cooked meats are such an English favourite for sandwiches and salads, it seemed only right for us to prepare and cook them ourselves. Beef is 28 days matured and our Turkey reared on farms in Lancashire, both are very flavoursome and succulent after slow roasting. We make our own Pate in two flavours, Farmhouse & Garlic - they both have a lovely texture and accompanied with some crusy bread will make a great starter.
Our unrivalled free range bronze turkeys are all specially selected, slow-growing breeds of female birds, aged to full adult maturity (minimum 25 weeks), reared in open barns, meadows and orchards fed only on natural feed. Slaughtered on the farm to avoid stress from long distance transportation, dry plucked and hung for a minimum of 7 days to mature and develop the natural flavours unique to this type of turkey production.

Excellent butchers. The quality of the produce, be it plain meat, or one of the prepared options, is outstanding. I have always received the best customer service from friendly, polite staff since we moved back up north 12 years ago, and we come here every fortnight. Fyi, the fridge display has never moved position as it is a small shop, which has stayed open throughout the pandemic. Please bear this in mind when reading the only negative review.

Today my wife waited outside in the rain for a good 10 minutes. When there was a space inside
she was asked to enter and wait by the window. A gentleman (who was with another shopper )offered to
wait outside so there was ample space between customers to allow my wife to see the display on offer
as this is now located centrally in the shop. There were only 3 people in the shop .
Unfortunately an assistant rudely asked not once but three times for her to stay by the window whilst she
was trying to see what was on offer towards the centre display.This being whilst a butcher was trying to receive

Consistently above average quality produce. Walmsley's offers sauces or glazes most others aspire to.

Best rib of beef ever. Cooked to perfection with the help of excellent advice and the loan of a meat thermometer. If there were more than 5 stars available Walmsleys would get them!
