We are expecting Fresh Venison into the shop on Tuesday afternoon, we will be open 4:00-6:00 pm to shop for this and also Frozen Beef, Lamb and a small selection of Pork, plus some ready meals.  As always, if more convenient to come at another time, please do not hesitate to contact me on the number below.

Attached is a poster for the Pop Up Shop and also a Price List for the Venison.  Pop up shop 18.11.25

Remember we still have a 15% discount on Topside of Beef, Brisket, and minute steaks, it is all in date until Feb/March next year!  A good time to stock up.

If you would like to order any venison this can be arranged, the Butcher will cut anything specific for you, if I know before about 10am tomorrow.

We have fitted a Ring Doorbell to the Shop, if I am not in sight, please ring it to alert me.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Some reading material to assist with reflecting on the sacrifices made during wars –

Michael Palin’s “Great Uncle Harry, a tale of war and empire” a life which ended at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.  To my mind, not one of his better books.

Three WW2 RAF novels by Derek Robinson – despite the brutal portrayal of life in the “best flying club in the world” I have enjoyed reading these.

Guy Martin’s 2021 memoir including chapters on marking D-Day by parachuting out of a Dakota – written as he speaks
