PROPER BUTCHERS SINCE 1820

Poultry

Proper poultry, prepared the way it should be. Our chickens, turkeys and ducks are selected for flavour, dressed by hand, and delivered to your door tomorrow. Free‑range where it matters, and never a supermarket compromise on flavour or quality.

Reared with care, prepared with skill

We work with farms that raise their birds properly, because good poultry starts long before it reaches our block. Every chicken is trimmed and jointed to your liking by butchers carrying on two centuries of craft.

Our Poultry

made the proper way

Poultry worth coming back for

Nothing here has been sitting in a chiller cabinet for a week. Your poultry is cut fresh the morning it leaves us, packed cold, and sent straight to your door for next‑day delivery across the LU, MK and HP postcodes. Order by 3pm and it arrives tomorrow – as fresh as if you had walked into the shop yourself.

Leighton Buzzard has had its preferred butcher since 1820, and Abbey Meats carries that on – careful sourcing, proper preparation, and honest, properly reared birds every time. Free delivery on orders over £30.

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.
