Now in their eighth year, these awards are the Countryside Alliance’s annual celebration of rural produce and skills through small hard-working businesses.

Selected by a small judging panel, the champions for 2012 were decided across five categories with Mettrick's triumphing in the Butcher category.

The criteria for selected butchers included whether animal welfare was a priority, keeping traditional butchery skills alive and if they go the extra mile to support the local farming community.

And if you know Mettrick's, you'll know we stick to all these principles ongoing. 

Mettricks were regional finalists in the legendary sausage competition with  North West Champion Sausage; the pork with lemon marmalade & cracked black pepper.
