Cranstons Cattle Market

About Cranstons Cattle Market

Cranstons Cattle Market is a traditional butcher and deli shop on Cattle Market in the centre of Hexham, about a ten-minute walk from the railway station. It is part of Cranstons, an independent butchery business that has traded since 1914 and is a member of the Q Guild, an organisation representing some of Britain's best independent butchers. The Hexham branch combines a butchery counter with a deli offering, serving both everyday shoppers and visitors to the town.

The shop specialises in quality regional meat, including prime beef sourced from nearby Frank Robson's farm and Northumbrian lamb, alongside deli products and North East specialities such as pease pudding. It is also well known locally for its hot sausage and bacon rolls, a popular stop for a quick bite while in town.
