Tim Potter, Son & Daughter

Family-run since 1996, this Wellington butcher's has collected a fair amount of hardware along the way: best butcher's shop in the South West, plus a national title for Katie Potter in the Women In Meat Industry Awards 2020 and a place in the Meat Businesswomen Awards finals in 2023. Three generations of names above the door tells you most of what you need to know about how the place is run.

The counter sits in the centre of town, and alongside the shop trade they supply the catering trade with the same produce. Home delivery is part of the offer too, so an order can arrive at your door rather than requiring a trip in. Christmas is clearly a fixture in their year. Worth asking what they would recommend rather than sticking to what you always buy.
