Shopping at a local butcher is a great way to support
a small, independent business while also getting access
to high-quality, fresh meats that are often more diverse
than what you’d find at the supermarket. One of the main
advantages of shopping at a local butcher is the quality of
the meat you’ll find there. Compared to mass-produced,
factory-farmed meat that’s shipped across the country
or even internationally, the meat at your local butcher
is often much fresher and of a higher quality. First
established in December 2018, David Sheppard’s Family
Butchers is an organisation that certainly leads the way
when it comes to ofering high quality meats and deli
products to the local community. Owner David Sheppard
has always been passionate about what he does, having
been a butcher for over 19 years before deciding to take
the plunge and open his own shop. He has worked hard
to give his customers only the best customer service and
has received multiple awards over the years.
At E2 Media, we have recently unveiled the highly
anticipated 2024/2025 Awards of Excellence, which
spotlight outstanding achievements across various

Sheppard’s Family Butchers. Their exceptional dedication

David Sheppard’s Family Butchers commitment to

beyond in ensuring a positive and seamless experience

organisations bringing something new and innovative
to their marketplace. They don’t have to be the biggest,
however, they have to be an organisation that is trying to
ofer something diferent from what is already out there.
Above all, they must provide a great product or service.
We feel that David Sheppard’s Family Butchers ticks all
the boxes and is a worthy winner of our award.

Family Butchers and they go to great lengths to try and

personalised to anyone that visits their shop and also

David Sheppard’s Family Butchers also cater to events
and weddings, with their well known mouth watering
hog roasts, slowly roasted over 8 hours and carved by
their skilled carver.
The hog roast is accompanied by mouth watering stufng
cooked within the roast itself, along with side salads and
vegetarian options such as vegetarian burgers, sausages.
No matter how big or small the event, they can cater to
everyone’s needs.
It’s easy to see why they have been so successful through
the last few years and are held in such high regard in the
local community. They are a wonderful example of what
a butcher should be and how meat should be prepared
and provided. The challenge for David Sheppard’s Family
Butchers in the future as their reputation grows and the

it’s something that they will achieve and that David

much more of in the years to come.
