Met Emma on Friday. Absolutely lovely lady, so nice to see ’s butcher stay as a family business. I know Earlsdon will do what it does best and that is get behind the independent business ☘️

🥩A new chapter at Taylor’s Butchers🥩

Well, it’s official — I’ve taken over Taylor’s Butchers! ❤️

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the customers I’ve already met this week. Everyone has been so welcoming, and it’s made my first few days much less scary! I’m really looking forward to getting to know more of you and becoming part of the Earlsdon community.

I’m very lucky to have a brilliant team around me — Stevie, Liam, Claire, Julie and Natty — and Stuart isn’t escaping just yet either… he’ll be staying on as my glamorous assistant for a while! 😂

And now to answer the question I think I’ve been asked more than anything else…

“Are you changing the pies?”

NO! 😂 The Taylor’s pies you know and love are staying exactly where they are.

That doesn’t mean we won’t be having a little fun though. Over the coming weeks and months you might start to see a few new products and ideas appearing alongside all your Taylor’s favourites.

I’m really excited about the future of Taylor’s and everything we have planned.

If you’re passing, pop in and say hello — I’d love to meet you ❤️

Today we were short staffed through illness, which left me on the front on my own Christina Tully bought her ten year old son, Micky in. I can honestly say i have never seen a child that age work so hard. So many customers commented on his communication skills and how hard he worked. Micky, thank you for your help today, you were absolutely amazing and such a fantastic help. No wonder your mum is so proud of you 💚♥️

This is heartbreaking. These small businesses are out hearts and souls. I believe there is a gofundme to help, i will post when i find the link. Yes there will be insurance, but it probably won’t cover anywhere near enough. Anyone who can help i am sure will be appreciated.
