Bevan's Butchers
Kingston's heritage butcher since 1929. Award-winning meat from a family that's been doing this for nearly a century — proper cuts, proper advice, proper queues.
Why we love it
Winner of "Britain's Best Butchers Shop" and trading since 1929. Four generations of butchery expertise on Richmond Road.
Bevan’s has been on Richmond Road since 1929, and four generations later, they’re still doing it the same way — properly. The shop hasn’t chased trends or gone boutique; it’s just consistently excellent butchery, day after day, decade after decade.
The counter is a masterclass in what a butcher should look like. Beef dry-aged on the premises. Lamb from farms they actually know. Pork with fat that renders into something wonderful. The sausages are made in-house, and the staff know how to advise on cooking times, cuts for different dishes, and how much you actually need for Sunday lunch.
This is where Kingston’s serious home cooks shop. The queue on Saturday mornings is a mix of regulars picking up their usual order and newcomers who’ve finally been convinced to try it. The “Britain’s Best Butchers Shop” award isn’t just marketing — it’s earned every day.
Local’s Tip: Order your Christmas turkey early, very early. The list fills up by October. Their sausage rolls are legendary if you catch them fresh.
