When I'm on site in Tonbridge I always try to pop in to Ian Chatfield Butchers for a lunchtime pie and/or pasty as they are simply delicious... Filling are packed with meat and just a delight to eat...

We get all our meet from Ian Chatfield and have placed our Christmas order for this year. The team are all really knowledgeable and excellent proper butchery skills an as an example I have watched them butterfly a leg of lamb and then apply one of their lovely marinades. Excellent local produce and you know the provenience of the meat buying - cannot recommend them highly enough

Have been using Chatfields for about 3.5 years now and have never been disappointed. From a coffee and bacon roll at the deli to xmas turkey, always a success. Was thrilled to see the delivery service start as we moved a little bit further away earlier in the year but their delivery service has put their BBQ boxes and tomahawk steaks back on the regular menu in our household!
