The Abattoir
We have been running our own licensed Abattoir since 1920. Unfortunately in January 2020 we made the difficult decision to close our abattoir due to increasing pressure from governing bodies. We did not make this decision lightly, as we still feel that a small abattoir is much better for animal welfare, however we felt that we were left with no other choice due to lack of support from those that are supposed to ensure higher standards of welfare.
On a positive note, for those small holders who wish to have their meat processed here, we can still provide the cutting part, but the animals will need to be slaughtered elsewhere. We would recommend Arthur Howell at Wells-next-the -sea, a small abattoir very much like our own was, or alternatively H.G. Blake at Norwich. Please call us if you require this service and we will arrange this for you.
