Philip Warren Butchers has three shops, two in Launceston, a third in Liskeard. It is the Pennygillam Industrial Estate shop at Dunheved Court, Launceston, which has become a member of the Q Guild.

The business was first established in Launceston in 1880 as a farm shop reckoned to be the oldest in Cornwall. As well as professional butchers, the family are also farmers, rearing and selling indigenous breeds of native British cattle, such as Red and South Devons, Aberdeen Angus, Welsh Blacks, Dexters, Herefords and Galloways.

Among them are specialist pig farmers who supply the business with rare breed porkers, including Saddlebacks, Tamworths and Berkshires.

`As well as a progressive and vibrant retail business, we have also built up great relationships with many Michelin star chefs throughout England,` said managing director Ian Warren.
