We are  not too far from you (postcode DE72) and use Coates at Alrewas near Burton on Trent.  They are on the Good Abattoir guide (I did the write up) and they are highly recommended.  Pigs are only done on a Monday.  PM me if you want to know more.

Hi, if you can travel slightly further there is the one we use in Grantham (Lincolnshire meat). OH says it is a bit of a 'mare for reversing trailers in and out of, but they are pretty used to watching people fail. Pigs usually on a Wednesday.
Let me know if you need contact details
