Frank the Butcher!

Dear Friends and Customers
The last few months have been very difficult for me health wise and the level of support and good wishes that I have received from friends and customers have been almost overwhelming.
I am now feeling better and stronger and the period of recuperation has enabled me to review how I approach the business side of my life. I feel that I am no longer capable of running the business as I have done over the last 20 years. To this end I will be reorganising how the business operates in order that it places less stress on me whilst enabling me to provide the service and quality of service that everybody needs and wants. (I tried it the old way and got carted straight off back to hospital – different nurses different bed though).
In order that we can make this work I need your help, instead of being an ‘on demand’ butcher I am asking that where possible that you order in advance. This will have a number of advantages, waiting time in the shop will be reduced, you will know that what you want will be waiting for you and you can spend more time in the other local shops.
How can you order in advance? – Well firstly, I will have an answer phone on 01608 685664 but preferably you can e-mail me on orders@frankbarwick.com either way could you please place your order by 12 noon the day before you need the meat if possible. We will still provide a full service but if in order to continue to provide Butchery in Brailes I would appreciate your continued perseverance and consideration.
I will be open for collections and butchery on the following for the hours as shown – this is as much as I feel that I can do while keeping the shop open.
Tuesday 9 - 3
Wednesday 9 - 3
Thursday 9 - 3
Friday 9 - 6
Saturday 8 – 2
The new regime will start on Tuesday August 12th.
Thanks for your help, your support and future custom.
Frank
