What We Offer

The product range is extensive and crafted with care. Because the business controls the entire process — from farm to butchery to shop counter — the quality is consistent and traceable. Popular categories include:

Fresh Butcher's Cuts

Beef, pork, lamb, and poultry form the backbone of the counter. Each cut is prepared by skilled butchers who understand marbling, aging, and the best uses for every joint. You’ll find everything from roasting joints to quick-cook steaks.

Homemade Pies & Pastries

The Steak and Stilton pie has become a local legend, praised by customers and even fellow butchers. The pastry is crisp, the filling generous, and the seasoning perfectly balanced. Pork pies, sausage rolls, and other pastries showcase the bakehouse’s talent.

Home Cured Bacon & Cooked Meats

Bacon and gammon are cured on the premises using traditional methods, resulting in a depth of flavor that supermarket products rarely match. The deli counter features cooked ham, roast beef, and other ready-to-eat slices for easy sandwiches and platters.

Kitchen Ready Meals

For busy days, the ‘No Mither Meals’ range provides chef-prepared dishes that require minimal effort. These are not mass-produced ready meals; they are made in small batches using the same quality ingredients sold over the counter.

Why Customers Choose Us

The glowing reviews tell a consistent story. One customer drove away with the last pack of ox cheeks, thrilled by the find. Another called the Steak and Stilton pie “the most amazing” they’d ever tasted. Beyond the products, however, people return because of the genuine care shown by the staff.

The butchers are knowledgeable and happy to offer cooking advice, whether you’re unsure how to roast a particular joint or want to try a new cut. When concerns arise, the owner responds personally and transparently, as seen in a recent reply to a customer who felt rushed late in the afternoon. The apology was sincere, and the explanation clear — warm food finishes around 2:30–3:00 PM, but all customers remain welcome.

The shop sits at 1 Granby Rd, Bakewell DE45 1ES, easily found under the Ginger Butchers name.

For those traveling from further afield, Bakewell’s famous farmer’s market is another opportunity to sample the range.
