Our story

Three generations, one block, zero shortcuts.

Since 1999

A neighbourhood institution, cut by cut

The Butcher's Block started as a single counter on Smokehouse Lane with one rule: if we wouldn't serve it at our own table, it doesn't go over the counter. Twenty-five years later the rule hasn't changed — only the queue has grown.

We buy whole animals from family farms within a hundred miles, break them down by hand each morning, and use everything with respect — prime cuts for the counter, trim for our house sausages, bones for stock.

Watch the craft happen

Mornings start before sunrise: carcasses graded, counters iced, knives stropped. This is what "fresh daily" actually looks like — no packaging lines, no gas-flushing, just hands and steel.

  • Whole-animal butchery, nose to tail
  • House sausages ground and linked daily
  • Dry-ageing cabinet you can see into
The team

Hands behind the counter

Career butchers, not shelf-stackers. Ask any of us anything — we like that.
