PROPER BUTCHERS SINCE 1820

Deli Counter

The good things that sit alongside the meat – hand-raised pork pies with crisp, golden pastry, fresh eggs, and soon our cured meats and charcuterie. Chosen and checked by our butchers to the same standard as everything on the block, added to your order today and at your door tomorrow.

A DELI, DONE PROPERLY

No sweaty supermarket pies, no soggy pastry or grey filling, no anonymous own-brand eggs – just crisp pastry, proper jellied pork and fresh eggs worth cracking. It’s the deli shelf you’d expect a proper butcher to keep.

Our Deli Items

made the proper way

The good things on the side

We stock our deli the way we work the block – only things we’d be happy to put our name to. Pork pies with deep, crisp pastry and a properly seasoned filling, fresh eggs for the weekend breakfast and, as the range grows, cured hams, salamis and the makings of a good charcuterie board. Nothing there to make up the numbers, and everything chosen to sit well alongside the meat.

Each item is picked and packed by hand in our Leighton Buzzard butchery, and we carry that tradition forward in every order we send out. Add a pork pie to the Sunday joint, eggs to go with the bacon, or a few cured meats for Friday evening, and it all arrives together, chilled and ready, the next morning.

Ordered the £30 meat pack on a Tuesday, arrived Wednesday morning, all properly chilled. Steak was excellent. Will be ordering again

Been meaning to leave a review for ages. We switched from the supermarket after a friend recommended these and honestly there's no comparison - the pork especially. Delivery driver even carried it in for me as was a heavy box. Little things.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure about ordering meat online. Turns out it's better than what I was getting at the supermarket "fresh" meat counter. The bacon is the real winner, was proper thick cut, and doesn't shrink to nothing in the pan.

Absolutely brilliant. The burgers went down a storm at our BBQ and a certain guest (you know who you are) wanted to know where I'd got them... High praise!

We used to go to Yirrells years ago so it's lovely to see the same quality still going. Ordered lamb for Sunday and it was every bit as good as I remember - thanks for your advice Mark.

Meat quality is genuinely excellent - the beef joint was superb. Only thing I'd say is I'd like a few more options in the smaller packs. Otherwise no complaints at all.
