Allingham Bros

Without doubt Allinghams are the finest butchers in Hitchin and probably the finest for miles around. They’re situated directly on the market square in the town centre.
They’re a traditional, old-​fashioned type of butchers and do a wide selection of meats. They’re very friendly and knowledgeable and will prepare cuts to your requirements and offer advice on cuts you may be unfamiliar with.
Their game selection is particularly impressive at this time of year, poultry, venison etc — all delicious stuff. They offer good value too — particularly as you can get the cheaper cuts of meat here that you won’t find in the likes of Sainsburys or other supermarkets in town. We bought a brace of partridges there last week for £7 and I think that represented excellent value.
Beware though that this is a very popular outlet and the queues can stretch out of the doors onto the street on Saturday mornings!
