Thatcham Butchers was formed in 1985 by Graham Wilks, originating in a small
retail shop in Thatcham, Berkshire. The quality of the fresh English meat
ultimately led to an interest in the catering trade, which grew very quickly,
necessitating an eventual move to the current premises in Arnhem Road, Newbury.
This was achieved in 2004, when the purpose built plant was launched and the
move to service the Catering industry was completed.
Recently, fuelled by demand, Thatcham have branched into securing more local
products, we have moved into our bespoke suppliers and have subsequently
launched our own “Torre Meadow” Beef, sourced from middle England, selected from
specific animals, but based around Aberdeen Angus and Hereford cattle and
crosses. The product is delivered fresh to our premises, where it is then
further hung, on the bone, and dry-aged in our ageing facility for typically 21
and maximum 28 days.
This ensures the selected product is cut at the optimum time, dry-aged, and
tender. Customers have often said this is the “best beef they have ever tasted.”
The beef is supported by a full range of local butchery products, including
Lamb, Pork, Poultry, Veal, Sausages, Burgers and Game which are all available on
these pages. All of our meats are carefully handled and hand-cut-as you will see
when ordering versus any of the usual Supermarket offerings.
We are working with Country’s top chefs on a daily basis, and our cutting,
packing, presentation and delivery of this product is well known. Our trade has
been increased largely by word of mouth within the industry, visit our links to
see where you can dine from pubs to fine dining.
We now have many enquiries from discerning members of the public, and want to
offer a direct delivery service, both locally and throughout the UK, From the
farm to your table.
Please enjoy the website, and visit our online shop to place your order.
