The Gower Butcher
Profile
As seen in the South Wales Evening Post!
History
With a combined experience of 47 years in the meat trade, Howard and Alan are proud to have re-opened the old Percy Watts butcher's shop on Portland Street as 'The Gower Butcher'.
With a large selection of locally sourced meat and poultry, their aim is to provide the people of Swansea and the surrounding area with the traceability and accountability that the discerning shopper now demands and that only a traditional butchers shop such as The Gower Butcher can supply.
Locally Sourced
Together with locally sourced Welsh Black beef, salt marsh lamb (when in season) and a selection of free range meat, game and poultry, Howard and Alan also make a large selection of handmade sausage, including their signature variety 'The Pride of Wales Sausage', containing Welsh lamb, leeks and a hint of the fiery red dragon of Wales.
Did you know?
At the Gower Butcher we stock the finest in-season Salt Marsh Lamb. The lambs graze on the salt marsh pastures of North Gower where they feed on a wide diversity of salt tolerant plants such as sorrel, sea lavender, samphire, Sparta grass and thrift, which gives the lamb its distinctive delicate flavour,favoured by T.v. chefs such as Rick Stein, Gary Rhodes and Gordon Ramsey.
