Nigel's Butchers

Nigel's has been the butcher on Dig Street in Ashbourne for around forty years — a traditional, family-run shop that buys direct from farms around the southern Peak and cuts to order over the counter. It is the kind of town butcher that the supermarkets were supposed to see off and did not: a single shop, run the old way, in a market town on the edge of the Dales. In Ashbourne, gateway to Dovedale, it is where the good meat comes from. Ask what is local; it usually is.
