Best Butchers in Hexham

Hexham and the Tyne Valley have a proud tradition of quality butchery.

Cranstons, Cattle Market

Cranstons at 7 Cattle Market (NE46 1NJ) is a member of the Q Guild of Butchers — a mark of craft excellence. Renowned for award-winning butchery and deli produce, drawing on prime beef from a nearby farm and Northumbrian lamb. Also famous for what some claim are the best hot sausage and bacon rolls in Hexham. Open Monday to Saturday, 7am-5pm.

Robson & Sons

On Meal Market (NE46 1NF), a long-established Hexham butcher with traditional counter service. Staff will happily cut to order. Phone: 01434 602049.

Allendale Butchers & Farm Shop

A short drive into the valley at Market Place, Allendale (NE47 9BD). Owner-run since 2021, offering locally sourced meat, handmade sausages, homemade pies, and seasonal vegetables. Open five days a week. Phone: 01434 618911.

A Word on Quality

Northumberland's farming landscape means local butchers have access to some of the finest beef and lamb in England. Shopping independently supports that farming community directly.
