The Butchery (SW) Limited South West Butcher's Shop "In the eyes of a customer visiting a butcher, a reasonable assumption to make is that the meat will be local, and upon visiting in-person and speaking to Roger and his family team directly I was reassured that it was indeed sourced from some fabulous suppliers across the South West. The selection of meat for sale was really impressive. I wish them all the luck and success they deserve as they typify what’s so fantastic about visiting a small owner-run business selling fabulous local produce!"

Tim Potter, Son & Daughter Ltd South West Butcher's Shop "Outstanding!

I can’t really say much more. I have already gone out of my way to recommend Potter’s to other in the world of food. I was seriously impressed. You need to trust your butcher, but you also need to have the quality of the product coming through on the plate and they excelled in both areas - nothing let them down.
A true Gold and worthy of being part of the Taste of the West family." 		Retail - Butcher's Shop 2023
