At a time when we are surrounded by supermarkets and food that has more packaging than needed, there is something quite unique and exciting about walking into a traditional butcher like Ye Olde Tudor Butchery. Based in the heart of Middleton On Sea, this family-run butcher is all about proper butchery and excellent customer service and also supports local producers like us at The Elmer Honey Co. We are proud to say that Ye Olde Tudor Butchery has been stocking our honey for many years which we are ever so grateful of.
A Butchery with a Long-Standing Reputation
Ye Olde Tudor Butchery has been known for its quality mears and friendly service for many years, and it gives that more of a personal service. Shopping in a traditional butcher shop is also an experience you don’t get at a supermarket. They specialise in sourcing meat from trusted local suppliers, ensuring everything they offer is high-welfare, sustainable, and, most importantly, tasty. That level of care has built them a loyal customer base who keep coming back for the quality and service.
Backing Local Producers
It’s not just great meat on offer, either. The Ye Olde Tudor Butchery team have always supported local food producers, and the shelves are full of brilliant bits and bobs—from pies to cheese and everything in between.
Adding The Elmer Honey Co. to the mix was an easy choice. Our honey fits right in with their focus on local, quality products. It’s another way they ensure customers have access to the best produce West Sussex offers.
Cooking with Honey
Most people think of honey on toast or in a cuppa, but it’s also brilliant in savoury dishes. The team at the butchery are always happy to share tips and ideas—and they’ll tell you Elmer Honey works a treat in glazes, marinades, and sauces.
Try it mixed with mustard as a glaze for gammon, drizzled over roast lamb, or combined with soy sauce for sticky chicken. It brings a natural sweetness that can bring a dish to life.
Why Local Matters
When Ye Olde Tudor Butchery chose to stock our honey, they weren’t just offering something tasty but helping support small-scale, sustainable beekeeping. Buying local honey helps keep bee populations healthy, supports local jobs, and means fewer food miles.
It also gives customers more confidence in what they’re buying—fresh, real food with a proper story behind it. At a time when more people want to know where their food comes from, that kind of trust and transparency matters.
Pop In and Try It
If you haven’t been to Ye Olde Tudor Butchery yet, it’s worth visiting. Whether you’re after your usual cut of meat, something for a weekend roast, or just fancy picking up a jar of Elmer Honey, there’s always something to tempt you.

Ye Olde Tudor Butchery is one of those rare places—great food, friendly faces, and a proper community vibe. We’re genuinely chuffed to have our honey on their shelves.
