Howell's Butchers Ltd. can be traced back to the early 1900's and is certainly one of the longest established Gower family butchers. The early days saw a popular stall at Swansea market which then moved to form a shop and a solid foundation, as it is today in Penclawdd.

The photo on the right was taken in 1924 and pictures Ioan's father (on the right) and grandfather in the background. It sees a Welsh bull being bought by the first and second generation of the family business. Quality Welsh beef was as popular in those days as it is today! As the years went by, the business went from strength to strength. It has seen many changes over the decades but has always remained family owned and run by Ioan and his son Christian Howells.

The photo on the right shows the mobile butchery shop which was used to visit many of the Gower villages during the early 1970's. Over recent years, the business, which was once just the butchers shop has developed into a highly successful catering operation, which serves many of the hotel and restaurants in the Gower, Swansea and surrounding areas. One thing that has remained constant over the years is our dedication to customer service and quality. This commitment we feel is the key to our success and growth.

The position today has only been reached and maintained through continued commitment to our customers. It is our aim to provide a high quality product at a price which reflects value for money.

We are dedicated to safety and hygiene and are the first butchers in the area to be awarded the Local Authority Butchers License which means that you can buy from us with confidence.

The butchers shop offers a full range of meats to suit every taste. Aside from the more 'traditional' meats, we stock a variety of specialty meats and our selection of sausages are a must. Although a visit to our 'traditional' butchers shop is well worth a visit, you can alternatively telephone us with your order and have it delivered free of charge. If you are on holiday we can even wrap it up for your journey. You won't be disappointed with the excellent quality at sensible prices.

We look forward to seeing you soon. If you wish to speak to one of our knowledgeable staff for an enquiry or to place an order. Please telephone: 01792 850 371
