Low Howgill Opens In Cumbria

Selling a wide range of products including meats, eggs, deli products and preserves, the business combines a takeaway deli service with a retail shop where customers can buy a selection of locally-produced items.

“We sell primarily beef, pork and lamb. The beef and lamb is all produced by my parents on their farm in the village of Milburn, and the pork we buy locally from neighbours and local suppliers.

“My husband, Steve is a butcher and produces traditional butchery products alongside some more modern products such as chicken curry, stir frys and marinated chicken breasts. I am the baker and produce all the deli products, such as pies, quiches, cooked meats, salads, sandwiches, coffee and bread. In the shop we also sell olives, cakes, biscuits, drinks, jams, chutneys, eggs and curry sauces.

“We try wherever possible to use local products. The jams and chutneys we sell are produced by a lady in the town, the eggs come from a farm five miles away, the cakes are baked by a lady in the next village and the olives are produced by a company in the Lake District. The coffee roasters are also local to us.

“Our customers are very wide ranging, from locals to tourists, old and young from every walk of life. We provide lunch trade for tradesmen to high quality Shorthorn Beef for foodie connoisseurs!”
