Ellis Butchers

Blackheath Rugby is delighted to announce the launch of its partnership with Ellis Butchers, a local butcher located within the Blackheath community with two convenient sites to visit. One in the heart of Blackheath Village situated next to the station, and another a short distance away at Blackheath Royal Standard.

Ellis Butchers prides itself on selling the finest selection of free range, high welfare and organic meat, poultry and game from across the UK, with a focus on ethical and sustainable farming practices. The team are very enthusiastic about whole carcass butchery to minimise waste and maximise quality. With a love of native and rare breed beef, pork and lamb, there is always something special to try in both shops.

Ellis Butchers recruits local talent from the surrounding areas and promotes from within. Almost all of the Ellis team started as part-time weekenders and worked their way up the ranks by enrolling onto their apprenticeship scheme to become the experienced butchers they are today.

Owner of Ellis Butchers, Nick Ellis, said: “We are proud to be in partnership with Blackheath Rugby, joining forces and working together to create a larger, stronger community, bringing customers and members together through their shared love of sports and quality food.

James Fleming, Chairman of Blackheath Rugby, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of our partnership with Nick Ellis and his team at Ellis Butchers. This is a great example of Blackheath Rugby working with a prominent local business to create opportunities for our members, and to support each other. We are also pleased to welcome Nick and his team to The Utilita, where they will provide their excellent burgers and hot dogs for our members and supporters on match days
