Aune Valley Meat Loddiswell

Between Loddiswell and Kingsbridge, in the middle of the South Hams, this is a family business that has kept things traditional: an award winning butchery supplying both retail customers and the catering trade, with a farm shop and the Valley View Cafe alongside. The combination is the point. You can buy the meat, browse the shelves and sit down to eat without moving your car, which in this part of Devon counts for something.

The butchery counter runs to beef, lamb, pork, poultry, goat and game, plus bacon smoked and unsmoked, sausages, and the less fashionable cuts - offal, diced and stewing, mince - that a proper butcher still carries. The farm shop adds eggs, dairy, bakery, fish, frozen food, oven ready meals and a deli of cheese, pate, charcuterie, pies and pasties, salad pots and dips.
