Meet the Team

Friendly personal service is what makes Andrew’s special. Whether you want to know what kind of bacon your mum picked up last week, or which farm our beef has come from, we’re here to help. For those new to cooking or the nervous vegetarian cooking for the family, we are always on hand to explain how each cut is cooked differently, and how each product should be preserved best; all you need to do is ask.

Andrew

Having worked in butchery since the age of 16, this man knows his stuff! An absolute perfectionist he makes sure he is consistently supplied high grades of meat, and that meat is matured and cut at Andrew’s at just the right time. That said he is most happy when he has the time to get behind the counter and serve customers new and old.

Richard

Andrew’s right hand man, our assistant manager Richard has been with us an unbelievable 18 years! With an eye on everything, he works both behind the butcher’s block and on the counter making sure the display is full throughout the day. Always seems to have something put by for someone on the weekend that he has cut specially.

Kevin

An Andrew’s veteran having worked with us for over 14 years, Kevin is front-of-house knowing nearly every customer by name and always having a giggle with someone about something. Never without a smile Kevin brings one big dose of happiness to the shop.

Melvin

A master butcher with years of experience Melvin is in charge of taking carcasses of beef, lamb and pork and preparing them into cuts ready for the counter. So expert at what he does, he is able to slice a raw piece of beef, eat it and tell straight away if it is of a high quality, and if it has been matured long enough. His experience is invaluable to us.

Scott

An expert butcher who also undertook his apprenticeship at Andrew’s, Scott takes care of the delicatessen making sure that it is constantly stocked with fresh pies, cooked meats and cheeses. Behind the scenes Scott also mixes and links by hand our award-winning Suffolk sausages- a talent that not many men can master!

Luke

Claire’s saving grace in the kitchen, Luke has nearly finished his apprenticeship and is now fully capable running the kitchen when Claire isn’t there. His hard work and dedication have meant that they can try new products while still keeping everything to a high standard.

Being part of a great team of people makes me very proud to be a Butcher at Andrew’s, a family run business which I’ve been made to feel very much a part of over the past 20 years.
Richard
I find it a great pleasure to serve first class meat to all of our customers.
Kevin
Working in Andrew’s in such a busy environment really keeps you on the ball!
Melvin
As such a food enthusiast, when I had the opportunity to start my adult career as an apprentice at Andrew’s it was an opportunity I had to take. Now, a good few years forward, I enjoy being a major part, watching all aspects of the business grow, and as such my own ability to become a high quality butcher. With Andrew’s having such a good reputation and a 5 star hygiene rating to keep up, this makes me more determined each day to carry on the hardworking, efficient efforts that we put in towards our shop and its customers throughout.
Daryl
It has been a pleasure to work here since day 1. During my time here I have noticed the business growing and under the tutorial of the experienced butchers here, I hope to become a big part of this rapidly increasing business. Onwards and upwards.
Jake
I love learning a good trade at such a high standard.
