Butchers in Cambridge

Probably one of the most traditional shops you will find on the high street is a butchers’ shop. And thankfully, Cambridge is blessed with some of the very best butchers you can ever hope to find. So, if you are a real foodie fan and want the freshest, locally sourced meat, seek out a traditional independent butcher.

A butcher for all seasons

Cambridge independent butchers cater for all seasons and all celebrations. Succulent lamb for Easter; sausages, burgers and handmade kebabs for sizzling summer barbeques; speciality game from local estates for an autumn treat and of course when it comes to Christmas, they offer up a wealth of choice – from the best cuts of beef through to geese and of course the traditional turkey.

Animal welfare

Unlike some supermarkets, at the cornerstone of Cambridge’s independent butchers is the welfare of the animals, which is why the majority of their meat is sourced direct from high-quality, free-range local farms and can all be traced back to its origins. Some even send their team on regular visits to all the farms they buy from, to make sure the level of quality is consistently high.

Meat and more

Local butchers are like wonderful kitchen store cupboards. You can usually find essentials like tinned goods, vegetables, baked goods and diary. They also prepare and sell freshly made cooked food including the best scotch eggs, sausage rolls, samosas and pies you could ever eat. And of course, they are hugely knowledgeable about how to prepare and cook your purchases so you can impress your family and friends at home.
