About Us

Pepperell's Meats are exceptionally fine Butchers with the added advantage of being a well-established family run business since 1965.

The business was established by John and Lorna Pepperell as a Wholesale Butchers serving local businesses with various cuts of meat.

In 1985 Chris Pepperell joined his Mother and Father in the running of the business and soon the business started to develop. In 1989 the first phase of the Pepperell's Meats factory was built.

In 1993 Rebecca joined the business and in 1994 the second phase of the factory was built now housing new offices, a larger shop and a kitchen, this later became the cooked meats department.

In 2004 the high risk cooked meats department was built, along with a new pack room, despatch area and large freezer which runs at -18oC.

After developing a cooked meats department within the Redenhall factory it was decided to take this one step further and in 2010 the Gammon factory was added to the Redenhall base housing a Smokehouse. Not only is the gammon and bacon cured in-house but the gammons are then trimmed, tied and cooked to make Pepperell’s own-cure Redenhall Ham. The facilities also enable the staff to Smoke all the products traditionally in a woodchip smoker located on site.

With over 50 years of experience the Pepperell family (now including the third generation) have developed and grown the business built on offering a high level of quality and service.

Pepperell’s Meats constantly strive to improve the products and services on offer.
