The origins of the butchers on Hartley Wintney High Street can be traced all the way back to the 19th century; the business being started in 1869 by the Graves family. 

To today and the shop is under the management of Joseph Morris, a familiar face in the village. A trained butcher and Hartley born and bred, for Joseph this is a return to his roots: having spent the last 20 years or so in the building trade but all the while keeping his eye in as a butcher helping out at the shop, under previous butcher Dave, at busy times. Indeed having lived in the village for 48 years Joseph, known to many as "Freddie", took his first job as a “Saturday lad” at Graves Butchers some 33 years ago.

Since taking over the Butchers in June 2022 our aim is to introduce more locally sourced, grass-fed, free-range and dry-aged produce, along with keeping the high-quality suppliers the butchers has been using over the years. And with that change of butcher from June 2022 came a new shop name; from Hartley Wintney Traditional Butchers to Hartley Wintney Butchers.

We strive to maintain the same high level of product and service to all our customers which they’ve experienced over the years, and are focused on bringing in a lot of new products onto the meat counter and more home-made and locally sourced produce on the delicatessen side.

Next time you’re in Hartley Wintney pop in and see us, or just pop in to say hello to Freddie. We hope to see you in the shop soon! #shoplocal #supportthehighstreet #hwbutchers
