Services
Free-Range Pork
Our free-range pork comes from Blythburgh farms where pigs roam outdoors with natural diets. This ethical approach produces tender, flavourful cuts that meet high welfare standards. Customers benefit from traceable, premium pork with exceptional marbling and texture. Our butchers prepare all cuts to order for freshness and quality.
SaltMarsh Lamb
Sourced from West Mersea's salt marshes, this lamb develops unique mineral-rich flavours from coastal vegetation. The lean yet tender meat suits various cooking methods. We select only the finest cuts, ensuring consistent quality for both home cooks and professional kitchens across Essex.

Beef is sourced from trusted Essex farms practicing sustainable grazing methods. Our butchers age and cut steaks, roasts, and mince in-house for optimal freshness. This supports local agriculture while providing customers with tender, traceable beef that meets our strict quality criteria.

Meat is lovely, my husband says, very friendly and helpful. So at long last have found a nice butcher to get good meat from, for the thickness of the meat its a good price.

Always great meat and always great advice. My attempts and making my own sausages would never have worked without the guidance I received. I am always so much happier when I have shopped there rather than the supermarkets. The bacon, the cuts, the sausages are superb and the making of our annual Christmas banquet. Well worth the drive.

I used to get all of my meat from the Supermarket until lockdown. Had a really bad experience going to Waitrose where nobody was social distancing so decided to check out the local butchers. My god the difference has been amazing. The quality of meat is hugely different and Nick and his guys are so friendly. Just had my first Turkey from Nick and… it’s the best I have ever tasted in many years. I would recommend that anyone in travelling distance of Horndon on the hill tries Reddingtons and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. Thanks Nick and your team I will be a loyal

Delighted with my order this week. I had the pork sausages and rump steak. The steak is tender and tasty and the sausages are lovely. I also bought a wonderful sourdough loaf, bread pudding and Portuguese custard tarts.
