About George Hayes & Sons
I’m George Hayes, based in Tring, and this isn’t a volume business chasing numbers. I’m not looking to supply everyone. I’d rather work with a small group of consistent, local customers who care about what they’re eating and want quality they can rely on week in, week out.
Everything I do is quality over quantity.
Better sourcing, better butchery, and honest pricing.
I source directly from Smithfield Market and trusted farms, choosing cuts based on what’s genuinely best that week, not what needs shifting and when you order, you won’t just get a box dropped at your door.
You’ll know what to cook, how to cook it, and why it’s worth it.
I’m a first-team rugby player at Tring, and the club is a big part of my life. A lot of what I do starts there, supplying players, teammates, and the wider community. It’s built on trust, consistency, and turning up week after week, the same way I approach the business.
Alongside that, I’ve spent years working in health, fitness, and lifestyle coaching. I’m a personal trainer and strength & conditioning coach, and I’ve worked in rehab settings and with young people. Across all of that, one thing is constant — nutrition matters, and protein is at the centre of it.
That’s a big part of why Hayes & Sons exists.
Too many people are stuck buying processed, low-quality supermarket meat without really knowing what they’re getting. I wanted to offer a better option. Proper meat, sourced well, prepared properly, and explained in a way that makes sense.
This isn’t about convenience or chasing the lowest price.
It’s about consistent quality, week after week.
That said, I’m also very conscious of value.
I’m open about pricing, and in most cases I’ll be cheaper than a traditional butcher for the same or better quality, and I aim to match or beat the likes of M&S and Waitrose while delivering a noticeably better product.
I’ll always tell you where the best value is, not just the most expensive cut.
This is a local business, serving Tring and the surrounding areas only. It’s personal, direct, and built on long-term relationships, not one-off sales.
If you’re just looking for the cheapest option, I’m probably not the right fit.
If you want better meat and a better way of buying it, we’ll get on well.
Proper meat. No guesswork. No shortcuts.
