The Village Pork Shop
De Giorgio Butchers are an award winning, traditional butchers based in Whitburn and Cleadon, two bordering villages in Sunderland. Established in 1978 by Steven De Giorgio, providing high quality, locally sourced meat and produce to the area for over 40 years! As one of the oldest butchers in the North East, we know our trade inside-out, little has changed in our recipes & techniques in over 40 years.

We know where our meat comes from! We work with local suppliers and farmers to ensure our meat is from high welfare farms and traceable. We are one of the few North East Butchers who carry out whole animal butchery (nose to tail) ensuring traceability and eliminating unnecessary waste.
Services
I started working in the local butchers shop when I was 13, delivering meat on a butcher's bike on Saturdays, over the next 6 years I learnt everything from boning meat to making sausage. At the age of 13 Steven De Giorgio started out with a Saturday job at his local butchers in South Shields, delivering meat to the locals on a butcher's bike.
After starting out with a shop in South Shields back in 1978, then going on to open a butchers shop in Fulwell, Sunderland - De Giorgio Butchers now operate from stores based in Whitburn and Cleadon, two idyllic bordering villages in North East England. De Giorgio Butchers of Whitburn Village was the second store to be opened by Steven De Giorgio back in 1997.
With over 40 years in the trade we have established valuable relationships with the best local suppliers and farmers, to ensure the meat we supply is high quality. We carry out traditional whole animal butchery, ensuring consistency and traceability. Our Beef is hand selected from a local supplier, coming from various local farms in Durham, Hexham and Northumberland, we use a lot of traditional British Breeds as well as Aberdeen Angus and Dexter.
De Giorgio Butchers have shops located in Whitburn Village and Cleadon Village in Sunderland, North East England. We are always happy the help, you can contact us using the details below or we would love to see you in store. Please note above times are for our Whitburn shop, our Cleadon shop opens 9:00am and closes at 3:30pm rather than 4:00pm.

Got to say this is the best butcher's around. I've been trying a few different one's but this one is by far the best. Meat always fantastic and always a good choice to choose from 11/10

Big thank you for our fabulous meat order received today.I phoned the shop and placed the order at 9.am and it was delivered around 11.am. Have used this delivery service quite a few times and it is especially appreciated during lockdown and in this snowy weather.

We are in lockdown and normally go to Cleadon shop, but ordered delivery from Whitburn and every item was exceptional. Steak pie large always a must, but a special mention the slices of braising steak were superb. Used to make a Hairy Biker meal. Class

Had to travel out of area to find an independent butcher, pleased we did De Giogio butches at Whitburn is fabulous. Old fashioned friendly service, even the butcher came out from the back to say hello, excellent display of fresh meat,even asked how I wanted my meat prepared and veg n deli, prices not bad either and had ham shanks in to make homemade broth. So much better than a supermarket.
