Our present shop in Front Street Arnold is situated four miles north of Nottingham City Centre. It was opened in 1939 by Alfred Chambers (the father of David and Philip), and during the war was run by Alfred's wife Marjorie and father James. In 1946, Alfred returned home and took over the running of the shop, working there until his retirement in 1990 at the age of 79.

The core business of our shop has been pork products; beef sales were introduced in 1952 by Harold Grocock, a fine butcher and a hit with all the ladies! Many awards have been gained over the last 30 years. The shop is a founder member of the prestigious Guild of Q Butchers - the only one in the Nottingham area. The Guild maintains very high standards in quality.

All our beef pork and lamb is sourced locally, the beef is matured for three weeks ensuring optimum eating qualities. Our standards of cleaning are maintained in daily cleaning schedules and our products are made with care and attention to detail.

Our shop has a welcoming, modern, open-fronted entrance and our staff are friendly. One customer, an Inspector from EFSIS, remarked that the staff uniforms were the best he had seen!.

As Phil Chambers always says "Retail is detail!"
