Since 1515 during the reign of Henry VIII and from the birth of Anne of Cleeves, Henry’s 4th wife, RJ Balson & Son traded from the shambles in the heart of the town of Bridport. At this time Bridport was fully engaged in producing ropes and nets and cordage for tall ships around the world. Balsons were trading in the year before the 1st published account of the discovery of North America.
Since then 25 generations of butchering skills have been passed down to today. From farm to fork all their free range produce is sourced locally from the surrounding farms.
