When Local Food Britain first discovered Surrey Hills Butchers in Oxshott some seven or so years ago, we were immediately reassured that the future of the traditional family butcher was in safe hands.

Owner Simon Taylor and his team of skilled butchers and apprentices have proven our instincts right, and have now expanded to new sites in Frensham and Windlesham in Surrey as well as the original Oxshott branch. 

They have always taken immense pride in selecting the best quality meat, preparing it beautifully in the time-honoured way and all with the kind of customer service that keeps shoppers coming back.

It's no surprise, then, that Surrey Hills Butchers have won a number of awards in Surrey and nationally over the years, and that Simon has even captained Team GB in the World Butchers' Challenge.

It all comes down to the care Simon and his team take to be the best: from visiting local farmers and suppliers to see exactly how their meat is produced, to putting the shop at the heart of the community.

The counters at Surrey Hills Butchers' stores are always stocked full of top quality cuts, sourced from local farmers wherever possible but always from within the UK.

"We're a traditional butchers that has moved with the times," says Simon. "We offer classic cuts and modern twists, and work hard to keep up with food trends."

Simon had already been working in butchers shops for most of his life and really understands the importance of keeping the traditional skills alive.

Training the British butchers of the future

His admirable aim to train as many butchers as he can during his career has already seen one of his young charges beat hundreds of others to be named Butchery Apprentice of the Month by a top industry training body.

All meat and poultry from Surrey Hills Butchers comes from farmers who really care about their livestock, as Simon knows that every step of the field-to-fork journey is important: from how the animal is fed to how it is slaughtered, not to mention how it is butchered and cooked.

He's even supported Surrey Wildlife Trust with their conservation efforts - where Belted Galloways roam Surrey Hills beauty spots, keeping them in check and the wildlife thriving, until the time comes for the cows to become a source of hugely sustainable and high quality meat.

If you're going to eat meat it really should be the best, and with the likes of Simon and Surrey Hills Butchers around there really are no excuses to back British farming.

Local Food Surrey says

It is fantastic to see Simon keeping his traditional butchers shop thriving on the high street, by inspiring young apprentices, offering tremendous customer service and ensuring that only the best meat and poultry make it onto his counter.

Butchery courses in The Cow Shed at Surrey Hills Butchers are a brilliant way to reconnect customers with the food they eat and help them understand the time-honoured skills of a good butcher.
