Customer Reviews

"I have known Keith for over 40 years and have worked with him in a professional capacity for over 30 of those years. His expertise in the butchery industry is second to none. His knowledge of preparation of carcasses and their different specifications is outstanding. I would strongly recommend that if you have not had the opportunity of meeting Keith, then take the time to meet him and see his professional working environment. I am sure you will be really impressed with his dedication to providing his customers with an exceptional and individual service. You will find his expertise as a master butcher will provide far better yields from your carcasses.

Keith is passionate about customer service and is a true professional."

"Keith has been butchering and processing our meat for several years - beef, pork & lamb. We have always found him a pleasure to deal with and the meat, sausages and other products have always been well butchered and attractively presented and packaged."

Judith & Francis Lister

Middle Campscott Farm

"We have a small organic farm with sheep and pedigree Devon beef cattle. We sell animals that we have killed ourselves through local farmers' markets; so the cutting and presentation is very important to us.

We are happy to say that our beef, lamb and mutton are butchered to excellent standards by Keith. He is prepared to give good advice on how to get the best from each carcass and cuts reliably to our requirements."

Karen & Lawrence Wright

Middle Campscott Farm

"Keith has given us a very personal service, and has an amazing enthusiasm for making the most of our efforts to produce quality meat for our table.

He made sure we had the chance to chat informally before cutting our animals to ensure we got joints and cuts to suit our personal preferences, and also for our customers needs.

The cure used for our bacon and ham is delicious and he has trialled brilliant flavourings in our sausages. We couldn't wait to fry them up and eat them as soon as we got home! It is a pleasure to meet someone so enthusiastic about experimenting e.g. with Chorizo sausage flavours.

Our produce is excellently packaged ad clearly labelled which makes it much easier to rummage through our freezer to get what we want for dinner. It also makes our small amount of home grown produce that we sell look professional to our handful of customers, which is great even for small producers like us.

The service from Gate to Plate is very pleasing, brings us a smile when we get to eat the results and, if we can bear to share it, makes us proud to present our produce to our friends and customers!"
