I have heard so many bad things about that place. a friend is currently in dispute with them over her sheep. She is an extremely experienced keeper and is certain she has not got her carcasses back. Another friend knows the family personally and has done for many years and sends his own sheep to Norwich instead. When I recently asked them for slaughter prices on my suckling pigs and for sows I found out that that had quoted a hell of alot more than what someone else had advised me that they paid.
We went to look at the abattoir, but didn't actually visit in the end. We had stopped off to buy some overalls on the industrial estate and could hear the animals sounding very distressed. We didn't go any further. I have also been told that they gas pigs which I think is being banned in a few years time.
Norwich, Blakes? Is meant to be good. We go to Ruse in Long Melford. expensive but very good on all accounts.
