About Us

ABOUT THE CHOP SHOP BUTCHERY

Formerly known as The Fantastic Chop Shop for over 27 years, The Chop Shop Butchery began a new chapter in November 2024 under new ownership, with a full refurbishment and a renewed vision for quality. While the shop was refreshed, the heart of what made it special remained the same. Deeply rooted in the local community, much of the original team stayed on, alongside new faces who share the same passion and commitment to exceptional service.

Today, The Chop Shop Butchery proudly serves local customers and restaurants who care about knowing where their food comes from and appreciate the difference true craftsmanship makes. Trusted by over 1,000+ customers, we're continuing a tradition built on quality, community and a passion for great food.

Because great meals start with great produce. And great produce start with local, ethically sourced meat.

Our Story

In 2024, we was fed up of supermarket produce, particularly poor quality chicken and vac pack mince (that shouldn't be a thing). Our frustration was that supermarket meat was becoming increasingly bland, mass-produced and disconnected from local quality. Questioning whether it had been pumped or added with preservatives that we just didn't want to consume! We are big foodies so- meat should be something you look forward to - something with flavour, care and real ooomph behind it.

In October 2024- we heard via facebook, that the shop was for sale- we were looking for a new career adventure at the time so we decided to take a look. Within an hour we decided to buy the business and the previous owner Alan, was delighted to join us on our journey!

We have a unique position not coming from the traditional butchery world. We are able to look at things from a consumer perspective. And make butcher shops modern and more approachable. We saw an opportunity to blend traditional craftsmanship with a better customer experience.

That belief became the driving force behind The Chop Shop Butchery: bringing people back to properly sourced, expertly prepared meat that tastes the way it should. From premium dry-aged cuts and hand-pressed burgers to everyday family favourites, every product is chosen with quality at its core.

Fast forward to now- Everything we have is ethically sourced & as local as possible. We visit the farms to ensure the quality of the produce and ensure that they are raised to a high standard. Without the air miles the produce has less time to deteriorate, making a better quality product.

Hold in person butchery courses so that our team can teach and share their skill with our customers. Discuss with our customers their recipes and new ideas- which often develops into a new product.

AND . . . We are super proud that we won ' Best New Business 2025'. Our first year of opening. With so many exciting things on the horizon- this is just the beginning for us!
