Award-Winning Products
Across our almost 50-year history, we have been collecting several awards for our cuts of meat and products – from being crowned the Butchers Q Guild Smithfield Awards supreme champions (the highest honour a Q Butcher can achieve in the annual product evaluation event), to our famous dry cured bacon being marked 100 out of 100 and chosen as the ‘Best English Bacon Product’, we have a deep history of producing award-winning, butchered meat. So go on, why not take that famous Owton’s flavour into your own home?
What Our Customers Think

Supreme Champions of the Butchers Q Guild Smithfield Awards
In more recent times, we have been crowned supreme champions at the Butchers Q Guild Smithfield Awards (in what is the highest a Q Butcher can achieve), where we were able to reflect the exceptional quality of our products and dedication to the craft of butchery.
If you ask us, being the overall winner of an event that drew 472 product entries across nine categories from 56 butchers, means we’re doing something right, right?
