Huddlestons Butchers in South Lakeland

Fantastic! I’m a regular visitor to this shop and I’ve never bought anything that hasn’t been perfect. From the “Cumberland curl”, a variety of marinated chicken breasts, lamb joints, bacon (including treacle and breakfast), a variety of different pies, “chilli growlers”, marinated lamb shanks and so the list goes on. Absolutely first class. I’ve been nudged into writing this review after my husband tried their new spicy lamb pie. He said it was “excellent” with “great spices”. All this with such friendly, professional, informative service. All I can say is if you’re in Windermere don’t miss a visit.

YUM YUM YUM, absolutely awesome food and fresh meats . This business is absolutely fantastic for the quality of cuts of meats and products they offer. The baked pie's are awesome, sausage rolls and lamb pies are truly amazing. The chilli pork pie is absolutely amazing. The butchers was amazingly clean, pleasing to the eye with their displays and an excellent and friendly approach to customer service. This is what makes a high street work not supermarkets. Good luck guys for the future. Excellent *****

Serves the best pies and meat in Cumbria,all superb quality,I live locally so I am a bit biased,but you need to call in if you are just visiting,grab some pies and Cumberland sausage before you go home.

Greatest and best tasting pies and paste I've tasted been a few times and defo going again when in the lakes everyone one out there should visit here and try your self

Called in whilst having a weekend break at Gilpin Hotel, brought Cumberland sausage, dry cured bacon and some chipolata’s. When we got home made a sausage sandwich from the Cumberland sausage and it was absolutely amazing, some of the best sausage I have ever eaten! If you are in the area make sure you get some, you will not be disappointed

Always pop in here to get a sausage roll to put in my backpack when we go walking for the day. delicious hot or cold but you need to be quick to get a hot one as they sell out early. King ribs, Cumberland sausages, pies all top quality and really tasty.

We stayed in Windermere recently, and I had heard of of this butchers prior, so came early morning on Thursday for a collection of Pies, bacon and Sausages to bring home to Haydock. Pies are delicious, really big and meaty, and the sausages are seasoned perfectly .. Will definitely be calling in again when we next are in Windermere..

Bought home some of their Cumberland Sausges after our visit to Winderemere and they are excellent. Made the trip well worth while.

Superb butchers in the middle of town An excellent variety of pies and pasties with the Grafters Pasty a proper Friday treat and worth the journey alone The sausages and bacon are top notch but a special mention to the Lancashire haggis wow !!!

I took a cool bag and freeze blocks with me. We saw the butcher on a wander around Windermere so the morning we was leaving we went and bought some meat and pie. I bought the chicken breast with Greek, jerk and parisian marinade. All very tasty. My husband had the steak pie and he said it was the best pie he has ever had.

These guys know how to make a pie. Great for lunch whilst out and about. The mushy pea topped pie is genius 🥧

Used Huddleston for years and they are so reliable for providing high quality produce. They are a butchers primarily however their range of award winning pies/pasties are superb. They also do a great cured bacon range.

I was staying in Windermere just a few days before Christmas, so decided to find a local butcher. No mad queues awaited me just one lady, obviously a regular who was telling me you didn’t need to soak the gammon joints as with other ones, then we bought a large pork pie, a growler pie and dry cured bacon. Also on the ladies recommendation some treacle bacon too. ( you should employ her as your P.A!) The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Anyway the proof is in the pudding, I tried the pie, haven’t eaten one for years and I went straight back to my childhood, delicious, peppery and proper meat, needless to say I went back for more. I loved the treacle bacon, my husband found it too sweet, however the quality of the dry cured was second to none. Next time I’m at Windermere it will be my first port of call, real old fashioned quality food, sadly missing all to often.

Must agree with another reviewer - they are probably the best steak pies ever!! Bypassed all the tempting street food stalls at the Christmas markets - so glad we did. Will call on the way home from our holiday for more!!

Steaks again to finish our weeks holiday in the lakes, so tasty, would also recommend the Cumberland sausage, the friendly family service makes this butcher shop worth a visit

Visited this place for some ingredients to do a proper Full English breakfast whilst on holiday in Bowness. What a find, delicious dry cured bacon, award-winning Cumberland sausage, a proper traditional purveyor of quality meat. The place was spotless, more like a delicatessen than a butchers, smart, courteous staff, a real professional service. Highly recommended. We

Well, the other reviews say it all... The nicest pies I've ever eaten... the pies were packed full of the filling and the pastry was light and crisp. My favourite was the meat and potato pie, but also loved the chicken and veg and pork pie. Would have loved to try them all but will definitely return next holiday - Delicious!

Absolutely FANTASTIC never ever buy 'supermarket' meat, ALWAYS support butchers as we feel EVERYONE should! From Farming background, country born & bred! Father in law live stock farmer, both Brother in laws Livestock HGV drivers, (taking live stock to slaughter for the 'townies' that haven't clue lol 😀) we're gutted we live a 6 hour round trip away 😟 most BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING Cumberland Sausage ever tasted! Bought fresh Sausage rolls & Pork Pies Husband & girls had eaten them on the way back to the car, so walked back to buy more, after eating Cumberland Sausage for tea we are insisting on calling in on Saturday on our way back home & filling the cool bag to fill the freezer at home!!! LOVE this Butchers, fabulous find 👌🏻 you HAVE to try you'll be hooked!!! Praise & respect to talented, dedicated Staff & THANK YOU 20 out of 10!! 😉 xxxx

We are on holiday in Bowness and came to this butchers for some cumberland sausage, whilst we where in there we got a pork pie and sausage roll to snack on as we walked around windermere, we liked the pork pie and sausage roll so much, we went back for some more to take back to our holiday cottage for the next day. We cooked the cumberland sausage and had it for tea and it was absolutely AMAZING! we are going again to get some on our way home from our holiday. Staff very friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend.

Went to the butchers whilst on holiday to buy the award winning meat and potato pies. The service was friendly and good from the two staff. The pies are only available on Tuesdays.

I’ve eaten some pies and given that I’m a Wigan warriors fan I know what is a good pie. The steak and Stilton is quite simply the best pie I have ever eaten. Stunning. The chilli growler is good as well. The meat and potato is rammed. This place is the best pie shop I have come across in 43 years. Recommended

Called here on way home from a recent visit to Windermere due to the great reviews on Trip Advisor and can say glad we did. We sampled the pork pies, sausage rolls and egg custard and they all were delightful. Will definitely call again if close by

Wonderful pies! My husband loves them and I have to ration him or he would eat them every day. He loves them all but especially the meat and potato.

During a short stay in Windermere we tried the pork pie, it was absolutely amazing, so so fresh and I wished we had bought a bigger pie. We also took some jerk chicken home with us and this too was delicious, will be trying other pies and products when we return to Windermere. Cannot fault the service the gentleman was very welcoming and friendly.

We always come here for a pie or sausage roll when we visit, they are simply the best. The sausage rolls that we had this time were delicious, hot from the hot section and at 1.30 you cant go wrong! They were really heavy which goes to show they were full of meat not just a sniff! Highly recommended to everybody! Staff really nice too.

The ribs! Jerk ribs! Top quality, meaty and spicy. Soooooo. good. The steak burgers too were fantastic (however you have to buy these frozen which wasn't ideal for us).

I have been going to Huddleston’s for 15 years. I live in Dorset but each time I travel to the Lake District I make a stop for supplies.

John you have a fantastic business your pies are simply the BEST and the range of meats is just great, Good Luck to you its great to find a High street butcher that wants to please his customers.

Sells award winning pies galore, various meaty treats, but not much in the line of "master-butcher" trade style meats. Their meat is pre-bagged, but plenty of stock including game.

A first class butchers, family run by John who also makes outstanding award-winning pies/pasties etc etc. Beautiful meats for sale as well as homemade burgers.

Cracking pies and friendly staff. Good choice of meats and handy location on the main road. Go in and indulge.

Purchased some sausages, bacon and pies from this butcher. Not normally particularly bothered too much which I buy but after tasting them from this butcher I am hooked. My husband said his pie was very tasty. I had bacon and sausage and they were exceptional. Even took some home on our last day.

Ok, firstly this must be the king of all pie shops. Every time I visit Windermere I have to visit this shop. I have never tasted pies like this in all my life. Award winning pies to die for. My favourite are the Chicken and Leak or Chicken and Mushroom and the steak pies. In all fairness all the pies are gorgeous. If you go too late in the afternoon they’ll be sold out. So be warned, I’m not the biggest of eaters but it’s hard to eat a whole one. Thick with meat and gravy I make myself sick over indulging. If your in the lakes this shop is a must. The filling is rich and juicy, totally and wholly encased in a beautiful pastry. I buy as many as I can get my hands on and even have orders from my family to take back home. All the staff are brilliant and go out of their way to help.

My partner saw this on tripadvisor under recommended places when visiting Windermere. And as a Wiganer, I should know my pies.

Pies are all good.... Pastry superb. Fav pork pies with real jelly. Pea and mince Pies differently delicious. All the sausages are spot on to on flavour and meat skin is the best too.... Treacle cured bacon ...... needs to be tried.......

This is the number one place to buy sausage rolls in Windermere (and maybe the world). They are so nice and the staff are lovely - but you must arrive early if you want a hot one 😊

Went in here when I was delivering across the road. Had the meat and potato pie the best I've ever had and coming from Wigan I've had a few. The following Wednesday went back and had the stake pie and the flavour was to die for. will be making a regular stop on Wednesdays when I deliver In the area

Tasty pies which have won numerous awards and rightly so. The sausage rolls are the best I have ever tasted. They sell a good range of pasties and pies. The black treacle bacon is also highly recommended.

We always buy our steak pies from Huddlestons and also our dry cured bacon. Wouldnt think of buying these anywhere else. Absolutely furst class deserving of thr prizes received.

Called in here instead of Greggs was on our way home and as we was walking passed noticed they sold warm pies, am I so happy we did I got chicken and mushroom in pepper sauce pie and hubby had meat and potatoes pie, they was the nicest pies I have ever tasted, as we sat on a walk eating them a lady stopped that was waking passed and commented how nice my pie looked and asked where I got it from, you also got a fork with your pie. I Went back afterwards to buy some cold one to bring home and told the butcher that was the nicest pie I have tasted he said they are all homemade and the chicken they only used chicken fillets which you certainly got plenty of. All the meat in the shop looked very nice and had some meats in Marinate sauces/seasonings I could have bought everything. I certainly will be going back there on my next visit to Windermere.

We visit bowness every year and always visit huddlestones so glad not in newcastle wouldnt be doing much cooking and waistline be expanding, the two men who work there so friendly, i like steak pie, hubby loves the pea supper one, the sausage rolls are best ive ever tasted, the pork pies also, the meats are lovely too, got some tennessee burgers to try tonight!!!! Glad here for two weeks on holiday, thanks to lovely fellas who work here a credit to the shop, lisa, stephen steffi , newcastle upon tyne x.

A great selection of BBQ meats available and we visited three times in the week. Pies excellent and all very good value.

What a choice of meat related products. Choosing was difficult!!

Called in for some beef before a drive back home after a few days in the lakes, the shop was clean and staff friendly and knowledgeable. There looked to be plenty of quality meat to chose from although we only bought a joint for Sunday dinner. The beef was great unlike the weather, which made it a soggy trip to the butchers. Lovely beef though!

Lovely local Cumberland sausage and bacon. Helpful recipe suggestions from the staff. Very good selection of traditional meats and something a bit different!

Such a great family butcher with a selection of amazing pies and if Your very lucky you may be able to sample the most fantastic Custard tarts you will ever have.

Went in for their award winning Grafter but apparently it's only available on Tuesdays. Bought some lovely sausage rolls, bacon, sausage, pasty, meat & potato pie & some good value venison

We stayed with friends in sunny Bowness for the weekend and decided on a visit to Huddlestones famous butchers! How hard must these guys work to get all of these products virtually perfect? Spoilt for choice we opted for Steak & Kidney pies, amazing value at £2.40 each in fact the best pies ever!
