Owen Taylor & Sons is an award-winning, family-owned catering and retail butcher with a century of expertise in supplying quality meat and meat products. Established in Derbyshire in 1922, the business combines traditional craft butchery with modern production capabilities, responsive service and an understanding of the needs of foodservice and retail customers.

From its Leabrooks base, Owen Taylor supplies an extensive range spanning premium beef, pork, lamb, poultry and game, alongside sausages, burgers, bacon, cooked and cured meats, pies and other value-added products. Recent investment has added manufacturing facilities for sausages, burgers and other value-added products, alongside a bakery producing pies and baked goods. This infrastructure positions Owen Taylor to deliver larger-scale volumes efficiently and consistently, while retaining the flexibility to develop bespoke recipes, portions, pack formats and customer specifications.

Provenance remains central to the Owen Taylor approach. The majority of its beef, pork and lamb is sourced from farm-assured producers across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, and neighboring counties. Careful livestock selection, skilled maturation and preparation, robust controls and full traceability help deliver consistently high standards from farm to plate.

Quality is supported by an experienced team, including highly skilled master butchers, and recognised independent assurance. The company’s accreditations and inspection programmes encompass food safety, HACCP, quality control, traceability, animal welfare and responsible sourcing, giving customers confidence throughout the supply chain.

Named Best Wholesale & Catering Butchery Business at the 2025 British Butchery Awards, Owen Taylor has earned national recognition for its craftsmanship and products. Its proposition remains refreshingly straightforward: trusted relationships, flexible solutions, dependable service and excellent food.
