  • G.F. Whites has been a butchers shop since 1855 and in the Whites family since 1951 and is now in it's third generation. We are winners of Countryside Alliance "Best Butcher" in Britain award, highly respected in the trade by our peers, customers and the "go-to" supplier for local award winning restaurants. We are passionate about local, working alongside small family producers, all within a 12 mile radius of the shop who adhere to the highest welfare standards, resulting in a short food chain producing consistently high quality raw products. Our meats are slow grown on diets that creates the right conformation to allow dry ageing to further add taste and tenderness.

    Our skilled butchers build on this raw product from the dry ageing of meats in our state of the art maturation rooms, to the application of over 100 years butchery experience to every cut and product that leaves the shop. Everything we do is made by hand: from using natural casings for our sausages, to our dry cured bacon, curing and salting of gammons, the use of family recipes, our burgers, cold meats, infamous pies, quiches and oak smoking.

    We pride ourselves on our reputation, knowledge and customer service. Do you have what it takes to be part of the team?

    In return you will receive:
  • 43hr Full-time Contract

  • A competitive rate of pay reflective of experience

  • Pension scheme

  • 20% staff discount
