Chapter 1
It started in Benwell
I started out as a young lad in a shop in Benwell. That's where it began — and I've never really left it behind.
Meet The Butcher
Anthony — 25+ years in the meat trade
From a young lad in a Benwell shop to running a family butchers on the road. This is my story, in my own words.
Chapter 2
G Hunter & Sons, Low Fell
G Hunter & Sons in Low Fell was a big chapter for me — honestly, some of my best days learning the trade.
Chapter 3
Grainger Market
Grainger Market will always have a special place in my heart. Serving people face to face in a place like that stays with you.
Chapter 4
Around the UK, Ireland — and a fair bit further
Over 25-plus years in the meat trade I've worked around the UK and Ireland, and further afield in Norway and the Falkland Islands. I've worked as a slaughterman and a butcher, and in production and management too.
Chapter 5
The people in the trade
I've worked alongside farmers, smallholders, butchers and all sorts of people across the industry.
Chapter 6
Then family became everything
Family became the thing that mattered most, and that journey is what led to The North East Mobile Butchers — a family-run business taking meat straight to people's doors across the North East.
Chapter 7
Old-school values, modern ideas
I'm just as into the technology side of things — web design and business systems — and finding ways to run a family butchers with old-school values and modern ideas behind the scenes.
