Others travel miles to shop here on personal recommendation. And we're always keen to welcome new customers - once they've stepped inside the shop they realize they have a golden opportunity to buy all they need to create a perfect meal. And we know they'll come back for more. We're a traditional shop with traditional values - we know that's what people want.'
Henley-on-Thames is a town steeped in history. And Gabriel Machin's is part of the very fabric of this picturesque town. Incredibly, the site currently occupied by the shop and butchery has been a butcher's since1861. The history of the timbered building itself stretches back even further with parts of it believed to date back to the early 16th Century.
Roast beef, sirloin steak, casseroles, home-made burgers - we don't need to tell you how versatile beef is. But what we can assure you is that the flavour of our beef is second to none. It's not unusual for people, especially the older generation, to comment that meat simply doesn't taste as good as it used to.
Roast pork and crackling, pork chops, tasty gammon or a simple bacon sandwich. Here at Machin's we sell only the best quality pork meat for all of your favourite dishes. You can rest assured that all of our pigs are sourced from Wood's Farm in Watlington. This is good news for several reasons. Firstly, the meat is incredibly fresh so the flavour is at its best.

I so wish I lived in Henley on Thames and could get all my requirements from Gabriel Machin. A fleeting visit of only 5 weeks but they are sensational, Beef skirt, Cambridge Pork Sausages were excellent and the Calves Liver is fantastic. Friendly knowledgable service all round 5 stars. Thank you team Machin

As we are self isolating I placed an order online last night. When I checked this morning i had a message at 5.56am saying my order would be ready for collection at 9am! This is absolutely amazing service and even more as when I went to collect they came out and put the order in the car and took my payment without me having to go into the shop as I have to “social distance”. Thank you so much and I will be back once we have eaten our way through this lot 😅.

Been living in Henley for 17 yrs and never had time to go to the Butchers. But recently, I wandered in around 4.30pm and bought some meat, chicken etc. The taste of the meat was pure delight. Now I'm going every week to buy our daily meat from there, so different from the supermarket meat.The quality is just superb, best butchers with friendly & smiling faces.

Fabulous butchers, everything you need including really fresh fish and local cheese, great meat and loads of advice to go with it ! They have made suggestions for parties, catering for bbqs , and cuts that are more cost effective for my budget from time to time and always manage to give exactly the right amount ! The super markets don’t come anywhere near close and can’t offer the expertise these guys do !

Shame someone left a 1 star review,
When in a modern world we are left we no independent butchers only a meat/fish counter at the supermarket, We should be so grateful that Gabriel Machin opens his doors to us, the public!
Be careful on a Saturday as it's so busy with returning clientele you won't be able to get in the door , just join the queue to an experience of locally sourced meats, butchers with a wealth of knowledge, cheeses, smoked meats and some of the best fish I have bought since my return from Cornwall.
Keep up the good work guys
