M &B Meats

M & B Meats trades from 24 London Road, a butcher's shop the business has run under this name since incorporating in 2012. Matthew Roberts took over as director in November 2024, succeeding Graham and Sandra Maides, who had run the counter since the company began. The shop deals in everyday cuts, with orders taken across the counter rather than through an app, sitting among London Road's older run of independent food shops rather than the newer chain-heavy stretch further south. Trade depends on passing custom from the busy road as much as on regulars, with the counter staffed through the working week rather than kept to short boutique hours. The business remains a single site rather than part of a wider group, run day to day by the people behind the till.
