MT Cashell’s is more than just a butcher’s
Its been 37 years since Mike Cashell fi rst opened his butchers shop in the high street of Crickhowell in South Wales and a lot of water has passed under the bridge over the River Usk in that time for sure.
T
oday the shop is run by his two sons Arran and Durwyn and what a shop it is. You would have to travel a very long
way to find a shop as good as this anywhere in the UK. It is a shop such as you would typically find on the continent. It is filled with the type of food you just
want to buy – locally soured foods which trumpet the local area and the local producers who live around this most attractive part of Wales.
Although this is a butcher’s shop first and
foremost, it also manages to operate a very fine deli within its very soul.
There’s a good cheese counter, with again
many of the cheeses being local to the area. There’s jams, pickles and chutneys along side Fair Trade coffee and organic wines, ready made Indian sauces and fresh naan bread, homemade pies and pates and a large selection of frozen fish. But it’s the meat counter which is the
impressive centre piece to the story, with all the meat being sourced locally from the many farms which dot the hills of the fringes of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Monmouth and Brecon canal. There are free range chickens that taste
like chicken used to taste and at least ten varieties of home produced sausage on offer as well as beautiful home cured bacon. The locals absolutely adore this place
and its not hard to see why, so be sure to make time for a spot of very tempting retail therapy when next you pass by the town of Crickhowell. Waterways Leisure is a valuable resource
for information on canal pubs, barge hire and places to eat and drink. In addition we also offer a range of
country clothing and country wear and clothing which is suitable to be embroidered with our top embroidery service.
