Welcome to Coates Traditional Butchers
Our Traditional Alrewas Butchers shop was first established in 1867 and taken over by the Coates family in 1900. Today the business is run by the family’s third and fourth generation, father and son Peter and Antony Coates and we now have a further three shops located in Tamworth, Staffordshire, Borrowash, Derbyshire and Wollaton, Nottinghamshire.
For over 150 years we have prided ourselves on our quality service and value for money and we strive to ensure that we cater for all our customers’ culinary needs.
Our meat is sourced from the best local farms and livestock markets meaning that when you purchase from us you are not only receiving the best you can buy but you are also helping us to support the local countryside, something that as a business we are very passionate about.
Our shops provide you with both a traditional and continental approach to the way in which our meats are prepared and displayed. Our counters will entice you with a superb selection, from the traditional English cuts to the more exotic marinades and oriental stir-fry’s. We also produce our own sausage and bacon as well as a wide range of homemade bakery products.
Our team of friendly, skilled butchers can cut any joint that you require. Need a rack of lamb for a dinner party? No problem. Want something you just saw a celebrity chef cook? We will be more than happy to come up with the right cut for your recipe.
