Family Butchers
It was 1965 when John Sheppard first opened three large retail shops with butcheries at the rear of them. We have kept it in the family with six members still working in the business. Of course, things have changed more than a little bit since then, but one thing remains the same. Quality of fresh meat and fantastic customer service.
So What was Going on in 1965?
JK Rowling was born!
Author and philanthropist famed for her novel series Harry Potter. JK was born in Yate and published the first of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, in 1997.

Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office during his second inauguration ceremony in front of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
What’s Different These Days?
You can buy your meat online now for one thing! Who would have thought it? Ordering from a butchers with a computer and a shopping list. It would have seemed a crazy notion back then. Now things move at a mile a minute. We went online a long time ago. In fact we may have been one of the first family run butchers to have a website and then to sell fresh meat products with it.
Things progress and websites are updated. We like to think that we have taken all of the hard work out of buying online. Ordering is made easy with pre-prepared meat boxes, but you can of course, build your own meat box. We use a secure payment system and as soon as you place your order, we know about it. Select a delivery day and off you go…
Don’t just take our word for it. Place your order online today!
