J & M Parsons
Sherborne's traditional butchers, J & M Parsons have been a part of the community since 1840. In days gone by, the animals were still slaughtered by the butcher at the back of the premises and meat would be cut from the whole animal according to the customers' requests.

Today, Parsons continues to provide customers with top quality meat in the traditional way, using local suppliers and a local slaughter-house so that they know the exact origin of everything sold in the shop.We also take all sorts of special orders - if you want pig's trotters or ears, we can provide them, if you would like a rabbit, we'll get you one.
Services
Parsons have been trading in Sherborne for over 150 years, serving the needs of our local audience and adapting to changing trends. Today we are proud of our great range of locally sourced, traceable produce, stocking traditional butchery fayre of the highest standards as well as catering for the increasingly popular trend for artisan foods.

Thank you for the terrific piece of beef fillet for the Christmas centerpiece. Very busy but well organised queue and huge choice of meats with individual servers. Thanks to Lilli for the friendly service.

I always see a long queue at this shop when I'm down the market.
So I queued up bought my meat.
And cooked it.
Well now I know why the long queues.
The meat was tender cooked in no time at all and was lovely.
I was so surprised that I had to phone and tell the manager how good his meat was. And not expensive either.
Well done. That's why they have been buying from the same suppliers for over 30yrs!! he told me. Definitely buying my meat from there now. Worth the journey.

Fabulous butchers with wonderful, friendly staff. Asked for some Barnsley chops as there was none on display. The assistant asked the butchers, who asked how I wanted them, and made them immediately. Fantastic service. My reason to visit the market, is Parson's. If you go, you won't be let down!

Can’t fault the produce - top quality! Professionalism of the staff however leaves a lot to be desired. Seem to think it is ok to talk about and make fun of paying customers. I’d heard this from others but hadn’t heard or seen it until today. The big girl in the long wig and another girl thought it funny to be making fun of me in the store today. In future I shall take my money elsewhere which is a shame because the quality there is always good.

Went in here just before Christmas to get some beef fillet. It was busy but they had a very efficient system in place and we had our meat within 5 mins. Great quality meat and great service.

It's lovely to see independent shop in a high street.The sirloin which I bought was so good. I made beautiful roast. I was told waitrose is to open soon, but for the quality and price you are far better.
