Hi Everyone
You may heard the shop is closing and tomorrow will be our last day. All meat and products will be sold from today at half price so this will be a really good opportunity to fill your freezers!
Since Covid the price of meat has increased steadily and we have absorbed as many as possible but we have still had to pass some of those increases on. Unfortunately the increased prices didn’t stop with just the meat, electric, staffing, taxes and general running costs have also affected us. Because of the increased prices we have also noticed a drop in local support which is typical. However the biggest problem has been trained butchers over the last few years John, Graham, Trevor and Andy have all retired with very little interest from the younger generation. Shane held the fort for as long as he could but even he felt it was unsustainable and moved on.
Personally I hope the shop will evolve into something meaningful for the village and I will keep you posted but for now I would like to thank everyone for supporting us over the years.
