H Greaves Butcher

After meaning to go for quite some time, we finally made it to Carr Hall at Wilpshire to their new Garden and Home center.

As lovely as it all is with some beautiful things to buy our principal reason for visiting was the butchers and we were not let down!

They had a brilliant selection of meat and after initially just going for 3 lamb shanks we ended up buying a whole lamb butchered to our specifications. We also bought some great looking belly pork and some sausages. The meat is locally sourced and of the highest quality.

They also have a nice selection of cheese from Leagrams dairy near Chipping and my son was quite amused by a 2 year old cheese called Bob's Knob in a rather strange shape. We bought some Ramshackle Cheese, Lancashire and Blacksticks Blue.

The more time you spend there the more they seem to have, frozen home made pies (savoury and sweet) their air dried ham and bresola.

Also in the farm shop there is a great array of produce, fresh local fruit and veg, home made breads, various pastas, fruit wines and liquers.....

Having just gone in for something for tea we did spend quite a lot more than we had anticipated but it was worth it!

The staff were excellent knowledgeable and humorous - we will be back!
