M A CoalesFamily Butchers

M A Coales Family Butchers is an independent butcher's shop on Hawthorn Road in Kettering, trading as a limited company since 2014 under the Coales family name. The counter sells fresh cuts of beef, lamb and pork alongside home-made sausages, cooked meats, pies and condiments, supplying both walk-in customers and local restaurants. The business holds a food hygiene rating of 5, the highest available, from North Northamptonshire Council's environmental health inspectors. It remains a single-site family butcher rather than part of a supermarket concession or wholesale chain, with the Coales family running day-to-day operations from the Hawthorn Road premises. Local directories and its Facebook following describe it as a high-class butcher supplying quality meat to both households and the trade, one of a shrinking number of traditional butchers still operating in Kettering as supermarket meat counters have taken over much of the trade.
