Butchers Counter

Open 8.00am till 6.00pm, every day, or to place an order call us on 01539 711328. Butcher's counters now open at Tebay north and Tebay South.

In March 2008, we opened a traditional butchery located within the Farm Shop at Tebay Services southbound which includes meat maturing and cutting rooms supplying the butcher's counter where our skilled staff are on hand to prepare meat and offer advice. This was a natural progression for Westmorland, a company with its roots firmly in farming and with a passion for Cumbria, a county renowned for its livestock.

From our fresh meat counter we sell our own Galloway beef and Herdwick lamb. To develop flavour and tenderness, our beef is traditionally hung on the bone in the maturing room.
We stock everything from beef steaks, topside, silverside, mince, our very popular home made Galloway burgers, rack of lamb, chops, shanks, rump and leg steaks to ox tail, ox liver, beef olives, lamb fries,sweetbreads and our very own marinated meats. We also sell local Saddleback pork, chicken, venison and game.

Our Farm
The Dunning family who own and run Tebay Services, also own the farm which adjoins Tebay Services. Manager of 20 years, Bob Day takes great pride in stock management, treating every animal with care, attention and respect.  Our stock includes Galloway and Blue Grey beef cattle, Herdwick and other hardy traditional hill breeds, which are best suited to the harsh upland landscape.

 Bob says "I ensure only the lambs and beef cattle in peak condition go to the local abattoir. I transport the animals myself to ensure they are relaxed and content. Evidence proves low stress levels yield high meat quality."

Our Butcher
David Morland, our Butcher is a farmers son from Tebay, has worked as a butcher for 18 years and as a meat hygiene inspector for 10 demonstrating a passion for animal welfare. This expertise is now put to good use at Westmorland preparing our lamb and beef for sale on the butcher's counter. David is also responsible for supplying our cafes at Tebay Services and Rheged and the award winning restaurant at the Westmorland Hotel. 

"My career has given me extensive experience in every aspect of Meat from farm to fork and the secret of our success is my close working relationship with the Farm Manager Bob Day"

Meat boxes, cut and packaged to order, are available.
