Matthews FamilyButchers

Matthews Family Butchers has traded from 7 Stafford Street in Newport since 1985, selling fresh meat, speciality cuts and prepared foods including steak pies, lamb kebabs and chilli garlic sausages made on the premises. The shop holds quality certification for its beef and lamb and has remained under family ownership throughout its near four-decade history, operating as a single counter rather than part of a wider retail group. Staff advise customers on cuts and cooking methods across a range that extends from everyday joints to occasion-specific orders around Christmas and Easter. The butchers sits among Newport's independent High Street shops rather than in a retail park, drawing custom from the town and surrounding villages who buy meat sourced and prepared to order rather than pre-packed. Its longevity in a market town that has seen other independent shops close makes it one of the more established food retailers in Newport's town centre today.
