Cowlings Family Butchers

We are a family run butchers in Cambridge that has been trading for over 25 years and have over 50 years experience in the meat industry. We sell a wide variety of quality meat and source our products from the best English Farms. As well as meat, poultry and game we also have a wide range of other products such as fresh fruit and vegetables, free range eggs, delicatessen and an extensive range of South African produce.

We take great pride in our beef products, sourcing our cattle from English Farms that are all Eblex and Red Tractor approved. Our beef comes from Humphreys and are all Free Range Rare Breed and are grazing on selected grass, hay and silage and are produced to excellent standards.

These rare breeds take much longer to mature and grow compared to commercial cattle and this does only enhance the quality and flavour of the meat which is why many top chefs use it.Through this company, we have been able to source a great variety of high-quality rare breed beef which we find very exciting as we are their only stockist in Cambridge.

Our Suffolk Lambs come from farms who pride themselves on the traditional methods of sheep farming with all lambs grazing on a mixture of nutritious grasses, clovers and beneficial herbs with no feed concentrates or artificial additives. The Suffolk evolved from mating Norfolk Horn ewes with Southdown rams.

All Packington pigs are born outdoors at Packington with the sows living their whole lives outside, with plenty of space to roam, wallow and be sociable. At Packington, they ensure their pigs live stress-free, by always providing them with what they need, when they need it. By providing mud wallows in the summer, fresh bedding, high-quality food, a plentiful supply of water and lots of tender loving care, they produce healthy, happy pigs.

They are reared on Freedom Food approved farms to strict RSPCA welfare standards. The chickens are reared in small flocks and have far more space available to them then other more intensely reared birds and also enjoy enriched conditions such as perching on straw bales and natural periods of darkness.
