A new farm shop and butchery in Furness has officially opened.
Roast Mutton Farm Shop at Killerwick Grange in Dalton-in-Furness, was launched on Wednesday by deputy mayor Bruce Solari.
Over 150 guests enjoyed a traditional hog roast and sampled award-winning craft beers from Logan Beck Brewery in Millom.
The Dalton-in-Furness shop is the second Cumbrian location for the brand, following the success of its flagship, multi-award-winning Kendal store.
The new site includes state-of-the-art dry-ageing facilities, a cutting room, and a bespoke retail space featuring a butcher’s block, artisan counter, and refrigerated displays.
In addition to Roast Mutton’s signature locally reared and sourced meats, the shop showcases a range of products from local producers, including StoneHouse Smokery, Whin Yeats Dairy, Eden Yard, Lovingly Artisan Bakery, and Wild & Fruitful.
Roast Mutton owner Robert Unwin said: “This is a proud moment for our team. Opening our second Cumbrian site has been a long-held ambition.
“We’re passionate about quality, traceability, and sustainability – values shared by every supplier we work with. We’re excited to bring our farm shop model to the people of Furness and can’t wait for them to experience what we offer.”
The new site represents a £150,000 investment and has created four full-time jobs. Day-to-day operations are led by Jake Gibson, who joined Roast Mutton in 2021 and now steps into his first role as managing butcher.
