Robson &Sons

Robson & Sons has operated as a family butcher on Hexham's Meal Market since 1894, supplying beef, lamb and pork to households and local caterers. The shop makes its sausages and bacon on the premises each day rather than buying them in, and the sausage recipe has picked up regional awards over the years. Meat is sourced from farms within the county where possible, with the counter changing seasonally to include game in the autumn and winter months. The shop sits in the row of independent food traders around the Meal Market, a few minutes from Hexham Abbey, and has stayed in the same trading name through more than a century of ownership changes within the same family. Robson & Sons is registered at Companies House as Robson & Sons (Hexham) Limited, with no other branches, and continues to trade as a single counter rather than expanding to further sites.
