Cracking new location across the road from the old Butchers shop.

Amazing deli with huge variety of lovely tasty local delights and a great cafe serving locally sourced produce. Will be going back!

Tom, Google review of our Matlock shop, 2026

A must stop whenever we go into Matlock. They have a wonderful range of cobs from pulled pork, pulled beef brisket that are super tasty - tender, juicy and perfectly marinaded!

Great little Independent Butchers offering fresh meat, a deli counter and hand made sandwiches. Friendly welcome, along with great lunchtime sandwiches.

John, Google review of our Matlock shop, 2026

Can not rate or recommend these guys highly enough. Great service with helpful knowledgeable assistance with no up selling when you can’t choose from the vast meats on display…

Jamie, Google review of our Matlock shop, 2026

What a great butcher and deli shop. A great find for good fresh meat, homemade pies, cheeses and other local products. Very friendly staff.

Stephan, Google review of our Bakewell shop, 2026

Superb butchers. Called in today to find the stir fry not to my taste. So they made me one up. Excellent cold meat too.

Nick, Google review of our Bakewell shop, 2026

The Stilton topped pork pie is a masterpiece! And the Bakewell pasties run them a close second.

Howard, Google review of our Bakewell shop, 2026

Visited this lovely butchers and Farm shop yesterday on the recommendation of a local shop keeper whilst visiting the area. Upon walking through the door I was amazed how tempting everything was.

Dear Ginger Butchers

We had a couple of orders from you just before Christmas and just wanted to say we are delighted with your service. It will take us a little while longer to eat our way through this amount of meat, but having enjoyed yet another delicious meal from your produce we are reminded to congratulate you on the excellent quality. The Christmas pack was exceptional.

We very much hope that your online ordering and delivery service is working well for you too and that it will be continued.

New Close Farm is not just for holidays!

Many thanks

Hi there

Just thought I'd drop you a quick email to say how all the family enjoyed the bacon we brought back with us after a week's holiday in Bakewell - the flavour was absolutely amazing.

I went on your website in the hope of ordering some bacon and more besides but I guess chilled produce isn't easy to ship. Perhaps you'll hold onto my email address in case you ever decide to branch into online orders!

Will be sure to visit when we next visit Bakewell

Hi chaps,

We tried one of your BPEX award winning pies today, bought from you at the Bakewell farmer's market. It was delicious. Well seasoned, just enough jelly, not too fatty and perfect pastry.

Keep up the good work!

I'm a butcher from Norwich, (Archer's Butchers) and have won the national BPEX in 2011/2012 with my pork Wellington, and your pie was certainly a winner with me!

Best wishes, Ian

Hi Ed, my name is Chris. I'm the butcher from Australia that came to your shop yesterday. I just wanted to say we bought one of your pork pies and it was absolutely beautiful. We can't get them like that in Australia!

Regards, Chris.

The personalised pork pie for my fiancé’s recent birthday was absolutely spot on! It tasted as good as it looked. Thank you so much. Excellent service.
