Pether Fine Meat & Poultry

Started out as a butcher, but now they are more famous for their pies.
I spotted this shop as soon as we exited the Kew Gardens station and crossed to the other side. I just HAD to walk in. They did not have any pies that were ready to eat, but I did try a sausage roll and the pastry was absolutely flakily and mouth meltingly amazing.
Personally I’d like a bit more spice in my sausage, but I am in London after all and it was a good sausage.
They had a variety of pies to take home to be baked, but I didn’t want to carry them all over the gardens and unfortunately this shop closes at 6 (gardens close at 6:30) so I couldn’t pick them up on my way back either. Maybe on a future trip when rains send me scurrying out of the gardens early???
Very friendly staff and service

I purchased a beef and cheese pie, a chicken pie, and lamb kebabs… all of them were exceptional! i cant wait to go back and pick up more stuff… i also purchased some Blueberry jam they had on the wall and it is wonderful. The service is great. The employees are cheeky, but in a good way… very very friendly and helpful. Price wise i am not sure how they fare as i havent purchased meat there. But i got all of the stuff above for 10 pound, which i think is great

Reasonable quality but at a price.

Pethers is an amazing butcher right outside the tube station and on your way to Kew Gardens. I picked up a lovely meat pie and ate it out on the green while reading. It was a perfectly balanced pie and customer service at the shop was great!

Excellent butchers. Cooked a rib roast from them yesterday and it was one of the best I;ve had. After shopping at the big supermarkets for so long I had actually forgotten what proper proper fresh meat tasted like. Everything they stock is awesome and the staff are awfully cheeky, but helpful making suggestions and advising on cooking times etc for the domestically challenged. At lunch times they have rotisserie chickens which are great for picnics in the nearby parks. Good pies too, hot or pre-​prepared to cook from home.

Although I failed at Vegetarianism, I still strongly believe that farmed animals should be treated well, which is why I always buy free range meat, fish and eggs. I also think Butchers play an important role and its so much better to see the meat your eating like this than as the plastic, packaged, processed stuff in supermarkets.
Pethers is such a wonderful butchers selling not just free range meat and poultry but also a selection of fine cheeses, pickles and hot sauce. The meat all looks such good quality and the smell is even appealing! (I’ve walked passed so many butchers in the city with stinking ill looking carcasses that it is so refreshing to find a quality place).
More over, this year Pethers joined a green movement with other shops in Kew to become more ethically sound and has stopped using, or giving out plastic bags. So for the conscientious and fine meat loving carnivore this is a great place to go.
