Farm 2 Family Butchers, which is run by two brothers, opened its shop in Thornhill Road on Thursday.

It is the second shop for the family-run firm, with the other at The Creamery in Melksham, and it also operates a mobile butchers truck travelling to various locations in the West Midlands.

Sharing an update on its opening day on social media, the business said: “A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us today.

“The response has been overwhelming, and we’re so grateful. We’re looking forward to another busy few days at Farm Family Butchers!”

A number of locals posted messages of support on social media.

One said: “Just spent £250 as always! Amazing services as always! Plenty to pick out yourself in the fridge!! Service with 3 full smiles;)”

Another said: “Fantastic refurb. The shop and produce look great.”

A post explaining all about the firm on its website says: “Farm 2 Family started out on the road. Under Farm 2 Family Meats, Bobby and Carl built their name the hard way — early starts, market pitches and mobile butcher vans, serving families the same quality meat week in, week out.

“Years in the meat trade teaches you two things: what good meat actually looks like, and what customers really want. A van can only carry so much, and the weather has a say in everything. So the brothers decided it was time for a shop of their own.

“Farm 2 Family Butchers Ltd is that next step, and the two of them own it together — equal partners, both with their own money behind it.

“A fully controlled environment — proper chillers, a proper counter, full traceability from farm to family — so every cut is kept exactly as it should be, and every customer gets the time, the advice and the service they deserve.

“Same family. Same standards. Better experience.”
