Gabriel Machin

Gabriel Machin is the only independent butcher in the town centre and it's got a wonderfully traditional charm to it as well as selling top notch produce too which is why it's so popular.

It's been a butcher's shop since 1861 and Gabriel Machin bought it in 1881. Before it became a butcher, it's been home to a pub with beer being brewed on site and a greengrocer.

Today it's got an onsite smoker and curer, selling a whole range of meat, game and fish prepared there too.

Anyone who's anyone knows the only place to get your Christmas meat from is Machin's and they also sell a good range of local cheese, milk and eggs.
