Services
Beef
We source full bodies of beef locally, focusing on prime cattle for superior cuts. Traditional butchery methods ensure authentic preparation, avoiding lower-grade dairy cow meat. Our range includes fillet, rump, sirloin, and mince, all guaranteed for taste and value.
Pork
Our pork arrives as full sides for traditional butchery, including premium sausages made with natural casings. Varieties include cumberland, chipolata, and spicy Welsh dragon. Cuts like leg joints, chops, and fillets are available at competitive prices.
Lamb
Sourced from Ribble Valley farms, our lamb supports local producers. Available as legs, chops, and shoulder cuts, all prepared using traditional methods. Pair with our in-house mint sauce for an enhanced dining experience.
Poultry
Our poultry, reared in Shropshire, includes whole chickens and cuts like fillets and breasts. Unlike supermarket alternatives, our meat contains no added water or additives, ensuring full flavour and value for money.
Ready Meals
Grandma Phillips' homemade ready-meals include meat pies, shepherd's pie, and lasagne. Prepared with premium ingredients, these meals cater to individual and family portions, offering convenience without compromising quality.

Great butcher. Fairly priced, top quality meat and the friendliest staff with great cooking advice when you ask. Our family has been buying Philips meat and pies for nearly 30 years. Highly recommended.
