PROPER BUTCHERS SINCE 1820
Slow-grown, properly hung and scored for crackling – our pork is boned and cut by hand on the block each morning. From Sunday loins to low-and-slow belly and everyday chops, it’s high-welfare British pork, cut fresh today and at your door tomorrow.
Reared well, butchered properly
Good pork starts on the farm. We source pigs raised to real welfare standards, then bone, roll and score every joint by hand on our own block. It’s that time and care that gives you firmer meat, cleaner fat and crackling that crackles.












made the proper way
Pork worth coming back for
Two hundred years is a long time to get something wrong. Leighton Buzzard has had a proper butcher since 1820 – known for generations as Wm. Yirrell – and Abbey Meats carries that on, feeding local families. The knowledge that comes with two centuries of butchery – how to choose a carcass, where the best crackling joint sits, how long a loin wants hanging – isn’t something a supermarket chiller can replicate. When you order pork from us, you’re buying the judgement of proper butchers, not the output of a packing line.
Because we cut to order rather than to a shelf, your pork is prepared fresh before being dispatched – never sitting under lights for days, never frozen and thawed to look the part. Order before 3pm and we’ll have it chilled, carefully packed and delivered to your door.
