What BRIDGET B'S LIMITED does

Bridget B's Limited is a privately held craft butchery headquartered at Sacombe Hill Farm in Watton-at-Stone, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, founded in 2015 as a farm diversification project on Bridget's long-established family farm in East Hertfordshire. The company sells premium, hand-prepared meat products through four farm shop retail locations (Watton-at-Stone, Buntingford, Radlett, St Albans) plus an own e-commerce storefront offering UK-wide delivery and click-and-collect. The product range spans beef, pork, lamb, poultry, award-winning sausages, BBQ items, ready-to-cook meals (including a signature Beef Wellington), and seasonal lines for Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's. Core technology is traditional craft butchery with modern techniques executed by an in-house team of Craft Butchers; products are handmade on site, with grass-fed free-range beef, 28-day aged cuts, and proprietary oil-based marinades for kebabs. Distribution also extends through third-party retail partners including Budgens of Walkern, Dutch Nursery (Brookmans Park), and Walkern Stores.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no B2B anchor customers, no subscription component, and unit or weight-based pay-as-you-go pricing. Marketing relies on the company website, Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, and Google reviews (consistently 4.6-4.9 across locations). Revenue is generated purely from physical and online retail meat sales to individuals and families seeking premium, locally sourced alternatives to supermarket meat, with trade recognition including Butchers Shop of the Year 2022 (Southern region), Women in Meat Craft Butcher of the Year 2021, Pride of Hertfordshire 2017, two British Sausage Awards Gold medals, and an AHDB Gold. Headcount is 8 employees and no external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.
