Allingham’s Butchers, located in the heart of Hitchin’s Market Place, is a long-standing cornerstone of the town’s food scene. Established in 2000, the business has built its reputation on strong relationships with customers and a consistent commitment to sourcing and preparing excellent meat.
What stands out immediately is the sense of heritage and expertise. This is not a generic high-street chain, but a proper local butcher where knowledge matters, whether you’re choosing the right cut for a roast or looking for advice on cooking. Chatting to Ian and Vicky you get a real sense of their experience and attention to detail.
If you’re looking for daily staples like wonderful Hitchin sausages, or something for a special occasion, Allinghams will have you covered. Plus there’s plenty of deli items, gravy and sauces available too. And don’t leave without picking up one of the cracking pies from just over the border at Woburn Country Foods.
But not only is the meat excellent, it’s just a real pleasure to visit Allinghams. Definitely recommended!
