Great service always have a laugh and the meat is great quality.
A real treat in store, if you visit Michael and team.
The meat is quality, we have now tried the fore rib, and the brisket the flavour was amazing. Also had a chicken, even though this was more expensive compared to supermarkets the quality and flavour compared to supermarkets was fantastic. Definitely recommend this place.
Been coming here for about a week now and honestly, everything has been 10/10. I’ve bought ribeye, sirloin, chicken breast, eggs, apple juice and a few other bits — the quality has been absolutely class. You can genuinely taste the difference compared to supermarket meat. I’ll definitely be getting my meat from here whenever I can from now on. And to top it off, the owner has an absolutely brilliant personality and makes the whole experience even better. Proper friendly, welcoming and passionate about what they do. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Quality products, great service and a proper local business worth supporting. Will definitely be back!
The Cowshed Butchery at Gorse Farm Shop is a family farm shop near Nuneaton selling its own home reared Aberdeen Angus beef and Suffolk Cross lamb.
Gorse Farm Shop on Lutterworth Road outside Nuneaton has sold local and home grown food since the 1970s, when Anne Vernon set it up. It is now run by her son David and his wife Lynda, and their daughter Anna looks after the farm's Suffolk Cross sheep and Aberdeen Angus cattle, which have outdoor grazing and are Red Tractor Farm Assured. The Cowshed Butchery opened in the shop in 2019, and two full time butchers, Michael and John, hang and butcher all of the meat on site in the traditional way.
The counter sells the farm's own home reared beef and lamb, homemade sausages, local free range chicken, and pork mostly from neighbouring farms, cut on site. The shop also sells Gorse Farm potatoes and honey from hives in the farm's own fields, alongside free range eggs from Bitteswell Farms, pies, bread, cakes and ice cream from other local makers, and its own chutneys.

There is nothing I don't love about this butchery. High quality meat, complete traceability, free from hormones and routine antibiotics. Excellent service, well priced. I won't be buying meat from the supermarket ever again. Thank you for making wholesome, clean meat accessible.
A slightly overdue review! We were in the Nuneaton area over the first May Bank Holiday and were hoping to buy some meat for our stay. As we were travelling from the South, we had nowhere suitable to store meat if we bought it before arriving, so we contacted a few local butchers to ask if it would be possible to purchase some on the Bank Holiday Monday, but unfortunately they were going to be closed to customers. Well, James the owner of Cowdhed, still very kindly agreed to help us and sold us a selection of meats, including lamb, chuck steak and pork, along with some extra freebies. The meat was absolutely top quality and delicious. The service went above and beyond, and we were extremely grateful for the kindness and flexibility shown to us. We'll definitely be returning to Cowshed the next time we're in the area. Thank you so much! 😊
Michael is excellent at the Cowshed Butchery, he has superb attention to detail and knowledge when preparing and giving advice of the vast array of meat that's on offer, regarding the actual cut of meat and how to prepare and cut it to get the best out of it! He prepared an excellent beef rib for me, it was absolutely delicious, and made an excellent mother's day meal for 6 of us, with plenty spare for leftovers. The meat isn't cheap, but you are paying for a quality local product of restaurant quality if not higher! We have also had steaks recently and they are delicious and better quality than those that we have had from restaurant's in the local area. I will definitely be back again soon, Michael has some good banter too, always a pleasure to visit the shop and guaranteed a laugh! 😁
