New butcher’s shop working to meet demand for sausages

There were long queues on the opening day earlier this month and staff have been working hard ever since.

The town has not had a traditional butcher’s shop for many years and customers have given it a warm welcome.

Mr Brown said: “It’s been really busy – we keep having to make more sausages each day to keep up with the growing demand.

“I think people in the town have been missing having a traditional butcher’s shop – they have been crying out for it.”

Some customers have switched from buying their meat in the local supermarkets to buying it at Brown’s instead – one customer on Saturday bought steaks and other meat costing about £76.

Following the opening weekend, Mr Brown posted on Facebook: “o every single customer who visited us over the opening weekend, thank you for your patience while we found our feet. We were completely blown away by the queues and support.

“We know there were longer waits than anyone would have liked, but your kindness, understanding, and lovely comments meant the world to us.

This is more than just a butcher’s shop to us – it’s the start of a dream that we hope will be part of the Abingdon community for many years to come. We promise to keep learning, improving, and giving you the quality, service, and products you deserve.”
