Yorkshire based and proud of it, we’re a family run, whole-carcass butcher, working in partnership with the finest small-scale, sustainable farms on The Dales. Specialising in heritage breeds of cattle, sheep and pigs, wild venison, and native game birds, our meat is slow-grown and free roaming, just as nature intended.
The Swaledale philosophy of whole-carcass butchery, and nose-to-tail eating sets us apart; our meat is nutrient-dense, grass-fed and dry-aged, with immense flavour and a heritage worth protecting. Always Fresh Never Frozen®, our meat is expertly butchered to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.

Integrated into rural farming communities in The Dales
Swaledale Butchers® has built relationships with a collective of like-minded farmers, the real heroes of the Yorkshire Dales, without whom the preservation of native breeds would not be possible.
We’ve also fostered connections with some of the most discerning chefs across the UK, who’ve become great friends and often visit us, and our farming partners in Yorkshire.
I've long looked for an exceptional butcher to work alongside and I’m genuinely thrilled to be working with Swaledale Butchers® as they approach all they do with the respect and love so essential to such a trade. Conscientious to the marrow; their meat is remarkable.
