Appleyards Butchers

Appleyards has traded as a family-run butcher on Bexhill Road in St Leonards for more than three decades, building a trade on home-cooked ham, own-recipe sausages and flavoured lamb and beef joints prepared on site. The counter positions itself around the Sunday roast, with staff on hand to talk customers through cooking times and seasonal cuts, and free delivery locally on orders over twenty pounds. Appleyards Butchers Limited remains a small, single-shop operation rather than part of any wider group, sourcing and producing meat under one roof rather than through a central depot. Regulars are drawn back by the personal service as much as the produce itself, a point the shop makes of its own history. The shop also puts together barbecue packs through the summer months and keeps free-range chicken and pork as a mainstay of the counter.
