Royal Visit at Rothbury Family Butchers

Thursday November 9th 2006 was a day to remember for Rothbury Family Butchers when HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall made a private visit to the shop.

It’s not every day Royalty pop it to your shop but Prince Charles and Camilla spent 20 minutes on a private visit to Rothbury Family Butchers where the royal couple met Morris, his wife Maria and the staff when they took a look around the shop and chatted about the business.Buckingham Palace very kindly allowed Morris to have a private photographer present who was able to take some stunning photos of the Royal couple which will soon take pride of place in the shop. At the end of the visit Morris and Maria”s daughter Molly presented the couple with some award winning sausages and local Northumbrian Lamb.
A day that will live long in the memory of all involved.

Northumbrian Hill Lamb now in store!

For the second year running Rothbury Family Butchers are proud to be stocking the finest Local Northumbrian Hill Lambs available. All sourced from East Wingates Farm Northumberland.

Sourcing top quality LOCAL Lamb is very important at Rothbury family Butchers. The partnership I have with Local Hill Farmer Jimmy Bell works so well because he allows me to visit his Farm every Monday morning and hand pick the Lambs I want for the week. This ensures I get the best quality lambs every time and the size and weight I require for the week.

Wingates fresh lamb tastes superb because they:

Use only the finest quality Texel-cross lambs.
Use lambs from a non-intensively farmed upland pasture in Northumberland.
Avoid using chemicals or pesticides on their farm.
Give the minimal amount of medicines to their sheep and use homeopathic remedies where possible.

Hang their lamb for ten days as was the custom for traditional butchers.
Try it and see !
