Making a difference locally
Our suppliers - over 100 of them are local!
TIP: We have an extensive award-winning collection of local bottled beers (including the very popular Piddle and our very own brew, William's Tipple, named after William Dike who liked the occasional drop of beer) and almost 100 different types of cider, so why not make up your own selection box as a gift?
Else's Butchers
2008 Taste of Dorset Award winners Else's Butchers, from just round the corner in Stalbridge High Street, where they have been supplying local (and not so local) people with quality fresh meat for many years. Julian Else works in the store at our fresh butchery counter, serving up locally-sourced Beef, Pork and Lamb from Dorset and Somerset, as well as Poultry and an excellent range of Game. Pre-packed meat is also available for customers in a rush!
Seafoods of Stalbridge
Martyn and Nicki Else bring their fantastic award-winning fish to our customers, available every day. Whether you are having a large dinner party or want a little fillet of something, Martyn's range and quality of locally-caught fish and seafood is unsurpassed. Choose from Sea Bass, Monkfish, Tuna, organic Wild Salmon, fresh Squid and Octopus Mussels, Smoked Haddock or Mackerel among many other types of fish (depending on what is seasonally available). And of course not forgetting the newest addition, red Alaskan king crab, sustainable and delicious!
