Lee heads to San Sebastián…

‘Meat’ Aubrey Allen our butcher

From a back street Coventry shop opened by the orphan Aubrey Allen in 1933, to the award-winning national catering butcher it is today – it’s safe to say the family run business has come along way. Their uncompromising commitment to provenance and fair trade with farmers puts them at the top of our list. Here … Continued
