Our Ethos
D.T. Waller. Our Ethos.
Our mission at Waller and sons is to provide you with highest of welfare, locally reared meat of the utmost quality. All our meat is prepared the traditional way and from farm to fork, we are involved in the process every step of the way, liaising with our long-term farmers and suppliers, with the majority of our meat being sourced locally, from the fields of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, only stepping away from these 3 counties seasonally. This ensures all our Beef, Pork, Lamb, Poultry and Game has lowest food miles possible,
Our bone in beef is hung for a minimum of 28 days before being expertly prepared by our experienced team and our lamb pork and venison is also matured on the hook, ensuring you get butter soft texture but most of all, stunning flavour.
The captain of the ship, David Waller, has been plying his trade from an early age, aged fourteen he became a delivery boy for Yarworth & Slater butchers of Malvern and has many a fond memory of piloting his laden butchers bike up and around the hills in all weathers, as the old guard used to say, “its character building”.
David finally ditched the bike in 1966 and after finishing his apprenticeship became a fully qualified butcher of the old school. He first stepped into the Homend shop in the late 60s where he became manager before leaving to ply his trade elsewhere, little knowing that the next time he stepped through the door in 1977, it would be as its new owner…
In 1992 his two sons Matthew and Nathan joined the business making it a true family concern and now with over 60 years’ experience in the trade, he has been able to pass these time honoured skills down to his boys, all his colleagues and many an apprentice along the way, David quips “ I really do not know where the time has gone, one minute I’m a young lad, riding a basket full of eggs and sausages up the hills of Malvern, then i go to bed on the night and wake up the next day with two sons and my own shop, time flies when you’re having fun” .
