HUNGERFORD MEAT CO

Hungerford's Butchery and Smokehouse was created by Claude Hungerford in 1937. The shop became his legacy, a tradition of butchery that he passed on to his son, then his grandson. A predominant family in the Valley, Claude was, of course, related to the Hungerfords of Hungerford Hill, but also had relatives in the Tyrrell family. The Hungerford family also had interests in the saleyards and abattoir in Pokolbin and so the butcher's shop was a natural extension. This was a butcher's shop built in the traditional mould, where the connection to the farmers and animals was paramount. The Hungerford family ran the butchery for over sixty years. It is a history and legacy we are very proud to continue.
