About James Kittow - Butcher & Grazier

With over 130 years of rich heritage, I am proud to have been born into a long line of master butchers and to continue our family tradition of providing finest foods to restaurants, retailers and families who appreciate meats of the highest quality.

 

All our meat, without exception, is either lovingly reared on our family farm, or carefully sourced from one of our trusted local suppliers. We seek out superior traditional and rare breeds, and only exceptional meat receives the James Kittow seal of approval.

Established in 1880, we have our own farm where we graze our pedigree herd of Red Rubies. As well as a full range of beef, pork and lamb cuts, we also make award-winning sausages and a tasty range of traditional pies, quiches and desserts, all hand-crafted in the Kilhallon Pantry.
