As a family and a business we work hard and care very much about the quality of the meat we produce and sell. Our strengths are not in Marketing or snappy script writing but Butchery, plain & simple. We offer a very rare thing in this modern meat market, a butchers shop that is run alongside a private abattoir.
Nationally like many other industries the meat trade is overwhelmingly run by corporate, multinational foreign owned companies that run with the sole purpose of making the executives and the shareholders a profit. Being a customer in our shop means that you support not just our family but all those that work with us and in turn the local community.

Services
A lot of our customers know our history and choose us for consistent quality and locally produced meat. They know we know our business inside and out however we realise that now there are many local people who don't, so this is a small summary. Tom & Lillian Lang opened the shop at 28 East Street back in 1942.
Our Farm suppliers are local, so local you will probably know them. Not just local somewhere in Devon or the Southwest but Local to Ashburton. Our suppliers are fabulous at what they do, we know the local farmers and we support them by buying their stock every week regardless of fluctuating wholesale cost.

Fabulous butcher's shop. A genuine butcher's, skilled butchers who source high quality local meats.
They're happy to prepare cuts to your needs,and give good advice in terms of weights and cooking times/ methods, and will help you choose the most suitable cut for your menu. You can order over the phone too if you need.
Yes , you may find it cheaper to go to a supermarket, but the difference in the products, the knowledge, and the shopping experience is like night and day. Support your local butcher, you won't regret it.

I buy as much as I can and it’s all been superb. From great quality bacon, big free range chickens, large shoulders of lamb, and my speciality stuff for braais and smoking: specially made boerewors, beef short… ribs, thick spare ribs, and ham hocks. I appreciate the fact I can order by email and collect when it’s ready. The customer service from Ellen, Paul, Helen and the team is first class. My ‘go to’ butcher...and they do decent chicken wings in three parts.

Popped In Today to try to snap out of supermarket shopping as we were walking the dogs on Dartmoor with the snow that has recently fallen, well what can I say left with a great selection of meat already cooked… some chicken which was perfect with sausages and steak left to enjoy! Oh and the dogs got a bone each which has not left there side yet. Top marks we will be returning 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went to my nearer 'local' butchers first to try and get my best pal a bone for his birthday - none of which sold them (or I had to buy meat first...!?). Phoned these guys as next nearest - not a problem. A short drive later and thanks to a very helpful chap - my Cairn will enjoy his 5th birthday tomorrow. Highly recommended and will be going back for my meat in the future.
