Philip Warren Butchers

Please note that we are now closed for online orders before Christmas. We will reopen on Monday 8 January 2007.

Our farm shop in Launceston has been established for over 100 years and we continue the great tradition of being farmer butchers, enabling you to buy "farm direct meats" from us, a system that has been practiced in Cornwall for generations.

We supply fully traceable true cornish meats. Our beef is raised on the wonderful grasslands that surround Bodmin Moor.

We use mainly British Native Breeds, such as Red Ruby, Hereford, Galloway, South Devon, Highland and Angus, that thrive on the margins of moorland and live on a predominantly grass diet. This produces the finest beef that is probably more natural than some of the 'organic beef' currently available from larger farming enterprises, who produce organic meats in response to public perceptions of natural meat, and charge higher prices as a result.

We are also the Rare Breeds Survival Trust butchers for the area, and therefore we are able to sell wonderful tasting pork and beef from many of the old breeds.

Edwards Fishmongers

We are based in Launceston, Cornwall. Each morning we have buyers in Looe, Brixham and Newlyn. We buy day boat fish only, so 80% of our fish comes from Looe, which is a small tidal port, where the boats leave early in the morning, returning in the evening. The fish is then auctioned early next day.

Our vans then return to base where the fish is then prepared by skilled craftsmen who scale, fin, bone and skin the fish, which is then packaged using a special process that enhances the product.

The fish is then boxed up in special boxes with ice packs on the fish that will keep the product cool for the journey to your doorstep before noon the next day. As long as you order 18 packs (average pack weight is 450g) there is no delivery charge.
