Congratulations to Broughs Butchers – Formby Bubble Business of the Week!

We’re absolutely delighted to name Broughs Butchers in Formby as this week’s Formby Bubble Business of the Week!

A heartfelt congratulations goes to Rob and Viv Powell, who have been serving the people of Formby with pride, passion, and top-quality produce for an incredible 30 years. Since opening the doors to their shop on Chapel Lane in 1995, they’ve become an essential part of village life—known not only for their exceptional meat, but also for their warmth, friendliness, and unwavering support of the local community.

Broughs isn’t just any butcher—it’s an award-winning, independent butcher’s shop, recognised for excellence and renowned across the region for offering meat that is ethically sourced, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re shopping for a Sunday roast, BBQ, or midweek family meal, you can be confident you’re getting the very best—from field to fork.

Formby’s Broughs shop is part of a small group of independent butchers under the Broughs name, each one individually owned and operated. The Formby branch, run by Rob and Viv, is truly a shining example of everything that makes local businesses so valuable—authentic, personal service and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Here’s what local customers have to say:

“Broughs meat isn’t just top quality; we have the assurance that it comes from animals treated with compassion—and that’s very important to me.” – Pauline S.

“There are few nicer things than a really, really nice bit of meat… Well I tell you what, Broughs does the nicest nice meat in the area!” – Mathew

“Brough’s sells the best meat I’ve ever tasted, ever, in the whole wide world. Fact.” – John P.

“Fantastic service, brilliant quality and always happy to help with cooking tips and advice. It’s the only butcher I trust for my family meals.” – Sarah T.

“The sausages are legendary, the steaks are always perfect, and Rob and Viv are just lovely people. Formby’s lucky to have them!” – David W.

So if you haven’t visited recently, pop down to see what all the fuss is about—you’ll receive a warm welcome and leave with some of the finest cuts of meat you’ll find anywhere.
