Who doesn’t love freshly cut meat from your local butcher? It’s on a different level to supermarket-bought meats. And we can confirm that the meat from Nicholson’s Butchers in Whitley Bay is delicious.

Nicholson’s Butchers was established in 1914 in the same premises on Whitley Bay’s Park View that it occupies to this very day. Founded by Charles Nicholson, who was followed by his son, also named Charles – and now his son Doug, who spent time as a deep-sea engineer in the Merchant Navy, though always knew butchery was in his blood and that he would join the family business.

Doug remains at the helm, but has now been joined by his daughter Kathryn, the fourth generation of the family to become involved in the business. She holds a degree in food science, having worked in large food manufacturing businesses, and also in food development.  She too has returned to her roots – butchery is obviously in her blood too!

Add a fully skilled, experienced, friendly, and welcoming team – some have been with Nicholson’s for 10 or more years, each and every one of them fully committed to going that extra mile to serve and assist customers – and you will soon realise why Nicholson’s Butcher has developed and retained a reputation and pedigree that’s second to none.
