PROPER BUTCHERS SINCE 1820
Leighton Buzzard butchers have supplied the local trade since 1820, and Abbey Meats carries that on – meat cut by proper butchers. Chefs, publicans and caterers across Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire rely on us for consistent quality, honest sourcing, and the assurance that every order meets a professional kitchen’s standard.
Butchery you can build a menu on
The butchery behind Abbey Meats was long known in this town as Wm. Yirrell, and the standards that name earned haven’t changed. Trade customers get the same carefully sourced carcasses, the same skilled boning, and prepared to your specification, ready for service
Whether you run a restaurant kitchen, a pub, a café, a farm shop or a catering business, we’d like to hear from you. Two centuries of butchery experience means we can supply to your specification – the cuts you need, at the weights and trim that suit your menu, with the consistency a working kitchen depends on.
Tell us a little about your business and what you’re looking for, and we’ll come back to you with a trade account and pricing built around how you actually operate.
Prefer to talk it through?
You can call our Leighton Buzzard Butchery directly on 01525 853040 or email sales@abbeymeats.co.uk – you’ll speak to the butchers, not a call centre.
made the proper way
Trade meat worth coming back for
Our beef is properly matured on the bone, giving the depth of flavour and consistent marbling that a chef notices on the plate – never the pale, watery product of a rushed supply chain. Lamb and pork are sourced from farms held to real welfare standards, delivered as whole carcasses or primals so your kitchen keeps full control of the cut.
Our sausages and burgers are made in-house from named cuts — the chuck-and-brisket blend behind the jalapeño burger, gluten-free recipes with nothing hidden in the seasoning. Poultry, bacon and gammon are prepared to the same honest standard, so what reaches your pass is meat you can name, trace and stand behind.
The proof is in the eating
