Welcome to Ringrose Butchers – high quality, award winning family butchers in the heart of Leicestershire since 1992.
Butchery is in the Ringrose Family, with Alf Ringrose (the name behind our famous Alf’s Original Sausage) butchering since 1968. He opened his own shop in in 1975 and supplied the locals with high quality meat until 1991.
In 1992 Andy Ringrose opened Ringrose Butchers as we know it now in Broughton Astley, South Leicestershire.
Over the last 30+ years he has grown the shop, won lots of awards, and supported the local community.
The rest of the family are also involved. With wife Sarah, son Matt, and nephew Connor all a part of the team.
We now have a team of 10. From experienced butchers to apprentices, everyone has their role to play.
We support our farmers wherever we can, working closely with a few local suppliers for the majority of out Beef, Pork, & Lamb.
We then age our beef for between 14-45 days for optimal flavour and tenderness.
Today our team still uses many of Alf’s methods to handmake a variety of craft meat, both fresh and ready-to-eat, for Broughton Astley and beyond. Follow us on facebook – our average review is five stars and we post new value packs most weeks.
