Alex Farr has been one of our village's traditional butchers, working at the bench and behind the counter at Butchers on the Green since October 2021. Alongside him was the familiar face of now former owner and master butcher, Keith Potter.
Keith, purchased the business from Dave Gates two years ago, and he has now decided to handover the business, and Alex is now the proud owner of Butchers on the Green.
Keith will still be seen behind the counter now and then, as he intends to work in Butchers on the Green part-time every so often.
In the past couple of years Alex & Keith have created a reputation for themselves in the village for providing quality meats and pre-prepared meals with a friendly and helpful service, and Alex has some exciting plans to provide even more for shoppers in Milford on Sea.
Alex said: "I am excited to have been given this opportunity to carry on serving and providing a service to this tight knit community. I am looking to expand the ranges of meat, fish, cheese condiments and pastries that we offer, to make it a more inclusive and integral part of the village. I am committed to sourcing the finest products at affordable prices. All I ask for is the residents of Milford on Sea to come in and give us a try please.
There are a lot of misconceived ideas that we, as local butchers, are expensive, however many of our products are comparative or even cheaper (per kg) than supermarkets. I think you would be very surprised the prices we offer, and without the cost and time of driving outside of the village!
I look forward to seeing you in here, and please keep your eye on our social media platforms for offers and meat value freezer packs.
Thank you all for your continued support for keeping your independent local shops operating."

Butchers on the Green is owned and managed by Alex Farr a former pub head chef who retrained as a butcher around 2010. He now uses his culinary skills to make the pre-prepared meals on sale in the shop.
Butchers on the Green was formerly known as The Butchers Shop, an award winning butchers which had been owned and run by Dave Gates for 36 years until his retirement in October 2021.
The business was then purchased by Keith Potter, an experienced master butcher who had owned other butcher businesses in the past, and he rebranded the shop to Butchers on the Green. Alongside Keith from the beginning was Alex Farr who managed the business day to day with him.
In October 2023 Keith retired, and Alex became the proud owner of Butchers on the Green, with Keith taking an occasional part-time role.

Having used the Milford butchers shop for many years, I am delighted with the quality and range of excellent meats and sausages that are still offered.
ReplyDeleteThe new owners have continued and improved the service .in many ways. We, Terry and Jean Langford, have always bought our meats, bacon, sausages, eggs and meat pies from the village butchers and will continue to do so. We recognise, that as with all our village shops, they are much more convenient than having to drive into the local towns and the 200 new houses proposed for the village margins will clog the roads so much that we hope that the village shops will be recognised for their quality and convenience. More power to the locals.
