The butchery counter is triple the size it was when it first opened
BBQ packs have been flying out of the door thanks to blue skies and summer sun, but steaks are popular all year round at what has been hailed Nottinghamshire's best butcher's shop. Our recent poll, asking Nottinghamshire Live readers to vote for their favourite, put a farm shop butchery counter at the top.
It makes it a double win for the family-run business, which also discovered it had been named the best farm shop and deli for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in the Muddy Stillettos Awards celebrating independent businesses. Jessica Spencer, the great granddaughter of the couple who originally starting selling fruit, vegetables and eggs from their farmhouse door, said: "We came out on top of that as well so it's fantastic really, beating Chatsworth and Welbeck.
Beef, pork, lamb - the full range of meat in various cuts is there, from joints to chops, diced and mince. Customers can choose from a range of steaks - ribeye, fillet, rump, sirloin and braising - as well as chicken and gammon. Butchery manager Stan Hopkinson, who has worked there for more than 17 years, said: "We are a very busy place. It's nice to know customers are appreciating what we're doing and that we're getting it right for them." Asked what makes them standout from the crowd, Stan said: "Quality and the service we provide, we try and give the best service, the wide selection of choice, everything really.
Jessica, who is sales and marketing manager, said: "They're really, really popular as you can just throw in a wok, fry and have it with some noodles or rice. It's a really easy meal." Jessica said: "We were dairy farmers at the time, and were milking cows up until 2001 and then decided we were better to go into farm retail and pushed that. We started with a little garage at the top here which is the first bit of the farm shop you come into and it's grown and grown."
