About
Us
Lakings
of Louth were founded in 1908, over a hundred years ago.
Originally the business was run through two shops in the
town, and was amalgamated in the early 1980. This brought
together the "Beef" shop from 71 Eastgate to our
"Pork" shop at the present site of 33 Eastgate,
Louth.
Within
our shop we offer a full range of butchery goods, sourced
from local farms and the local market. We also used to be
a wholesale provider to the local meat trade but increased
legislation proved prohibitive and this arm of the business
had to close. Lakings of Louth display traditional quality
fresh beef, lamb and pork. Our beef is "hung"
for at least 21 days to give the meat maturity and tenderness.
Our lambs are also given a "hanging" time to give
them optimum tenderness and flavour.
Our
pork comes from local sources and is prepared for the shop
as well as our manufacturing department. Poultry comes from
Norfolk and is delivered at least twice weekly. Bacon is
supplied by local and Scottish sources. We also produce
our own dry cured bacon and hams. Bacon and ham joints are
cut and packed on the premises throughout the week.
All
our bakery products are produced in site as are the desserts
and ready meals. All departments produce meat and meat products
on a daily basis. We cut beef, lamb and pork to satisfy
customer demand throughout the day. Our bakery bakes bread,
pies, pastries and cakes throughout the day also. We try
to have warm Cornish pasties and sausage rolls available
for most of our opening hours. Sausages are prepared daily
and contain no additives or preservatives. They are filled
into natural casings. The seasoning is prepared to a recipe
going back many years.
A
full range of cooked meats are prepared on the premises.
Hams, turkey, beef and pork are prepared daily to be boiled
or roasted in ovens ready for slicing in the shop. Orders
are prepared for weddings and functions on most weekends.
Buffets are frequently prepared to be delivered to local
businesses and educational establishments.
