Taste of Devon Butchers – A Brilliant Local When Staying in Beer

If you’re staying in Beer and enjoy good food, one of our favourite nearby recommendations is Taste of Devon Butchers in Seaton. It’s an easy 5-minute drive from Beer, or a scenic 30-minute coastal walk if you fancy stretching your legs and earning your dinner.

Whether you’re cooking at your holiday place, planning a relaxed BBQ, or just want to stock up on something special for the week, this is one of those places that’s always worth the short trip.

A proper local butcher worth the walk (or drive)

Located on Fore Street in Seaton, Taste of Devon Butchers has built a loyal following for its focus on quality, provenance and flavour. They work closely with trusted local farmers across Devon and the South West, keeping food miles low and standards high — and you can really see (and taste) the difference in the counter displays.

It feels like a proper butcher should: friendly, knowledgeable and proudly local.

What we usually pick up while we’re there

It’s one of those shops where everything looks tempting, but some regular favourites include:

• High-quality Devon beef, lamb, pork and free-range chicken
• Hand-made sausages and burgers that are perfect for easy holiday meals
• Oven-ready dishes, pies and classic butcher’s favourites
• Great-value meat boxes and BBQ packs if you’re feeding a group or staying for a full week

If you’re in Beer for more than a couple of nights, this is a great place to do a proper food shop and instantly elevate your meals without any hassle.

Expert BBQ advice included

One of the real reasons we recommend stopping in is the knowledge behind the counter. Matt is a true BBQ guru and always happy to give advice, whether you’re cooking over charcoal, gas or a smoker. From choosing the right cut to getting timings, temperatures and seasoning spot on, his tips are genuinely useful — especially if you’re planning a holiday BBQ or cooking for friends and family.

There’s never any pressure or rush, just good advice and a proper chat.

Easy to combine with a day out

Because Seaton is so close to Beer, a visit to Taste of Devon Butchers fits perfectly into a coastal walk, a beach stop or a wander through town. Pick up your meat on the way back and dinner is sorted — simple, local and really good.
