Our History

Peter Timbs Meats has long been built on a reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and a genuine love of good food. As our butcher shop continued to grow and earn the trust of our community, we saw an opportunity to take the next step. This led to the creation of The Butchers Kitchen, an extension of our already successful shop, designed to offer something a little different from the traditional butcher experience.

The Butchers Kitchen was created to make great food even more accessible. By working alongside talented chefs, we began offering thoughtfully prepared, ready-to-enjoy meals that showcase the same premium meats our customers know and trust. From hearty beef brisket lasagne to slow-cooked lamb shoulder, each dish is made to deliver comfort, quality, and convenience, bringing exceptional meals from our kitchen straight to your table.
