Family-run butchers
BASED ON FARNDON'S HIGH STREET
At Astley & Stratton, we believe good food starts with great ingredients. We carefully select quality meats from trusted British farms, taking pride in knowing where our produce comes from and bringing our customers the very best.
Our Story
OWNED BY HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM BEN & BETH
My passion for butchery began at just 14, working a family friend's butchers just across the bridge in Holt.
What started as a Saturday job soon became a career, leading to an apprenticeship and eventually competing in the World Butchers' Challenge in the USA in 2022, where I placed 3rd in the world.
With the confidence to open our own shop, the opportunity came along when my wife Beth heard about Jeremy, a local butcher in Farndon. One letter later, things started falling into place, and in 2024, we opened the doors to Astley & Stratton.
Since then, we've given the shop a fresh new look, offering much more than just quality meat. From homemade pies and fresh produce to carefully selected local products, we're proud to bring great food to the Farndon community.
