    A note from Richard Poynton.

    Poyntons Butchers was originally established in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, with roots as farmer-butchers dating back to around 1652. The business remained in Ashby until the late 1800s. Years later, our grandfather opened a butcher’s shop in Leek, Staffordshire, where he and my father ran the business together for many years. After leaving school, I joined my father in the shop, which today is home to Leek Oatcakes.

  • 1979 we moved to Wales 

    In the 1960s, as many of the mills were closing in Leek, my family moved to Wales, and I eventually followed. I went on to purchase the shop we still operate today in Old Colwyn, where we've now lived for 46 years. In 1984, we expanded by acquiring a business on Gloddaeth Street in Llandudno. We've since successfully relocated to our current premises at 14 Cae Bach, Builder Street. The business is now proudly run by my son, Darren, continuing the family tradition.
