The staff are great, they always give you a friendly welcome. I've never had a bad experience in there! They have a good selection of meats, sauces, seasonings and deli items. All for reasonable prices. My most recent purchase (traditional Cornish pasties) went down a treat!

A Holmes are the best butchers in the area. I’ve been using them for over 25 years. Andrew and the team are super helpful, always happy to cut meat according to your liking or give advice on preparation & cooking! Their prices are excellent, on a par with all the supermarkets and the quality is far superior. Would highly recommend

My health is important to me and the quality meats at Holmes are excellent. The meat quality far exceeds mass produced supermarkets.

A shining beacon of hope for Coalville. Award winning butchers, their 'Old English' sausages are world class. Locally sourced and top quality produce from knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff. Home made pies are a great 'instant' meal. All this and cheaper than a supermarket.
Come visit us! You can find us just on the corner of the High Street, next to the car park behind Argos. We look forward to seeing you soon!
