Welcome to Hall Farm Butchers

We’re Daniel Tompkins and Luke Fielding O’Farrell, the proud new owners of Hall Farm Butchers as of 2025.

Hall Farm Butchers first opened its doors in 2011, founded by Diane and David Scott, who built the shop into a trusted part of the Framlingham community. Daniel has been here since the very beginning, working as manager under Diane and David, while Luke joined the team in 2014. Together, we’ve spent years learning the trade, serving our loyal customers, and sharing a passion for high-quality, locally sourced meat.

Now, as we take the reins, our mission is simple: to continue the traditions that make Hall Farm Butchers special, while always looking for new ways to serve the people of Framlingham. From the best cuts of meat to friendly, knowledgeable service, we’re here to keep supplying the quality you know and love.

We’re excited for this next chapter and look forward to welcoming you into the shop.

Eric 

Eric brings with him a lifetime of experience. In fact, butchery runs in his blood — he was born above a butcher’s shop in Newmarket and has spent his career working in and around the trade. His knowledge, skill, and passion for good produce make him a fantastic addition to our team.

Most importantly, Eric shares our belief that a good butchers is about more than just meat — it’s about community, conversation, and providing a service people can trust. We know customers will enjoy getting to know him as much as we have.

Next time you’re in, be sure to say hello — Eric will be more than happy to help with whatever you need.

Debbie Chilvers

A local girl with a long-standing connection to farming, Debbie is a dab-hand at pastry. In a previous life she used to work as a pre-school teacher and also ran a Cake Decorating business. With a passion for pastry, her homemade pies at Hall Farm Butchers, which include Chicken and Ham, Steak and Ale and Steak and Kidney, are a mouth-watering solution to any argument over ‘what’s for supper tonight?’ and her sausage rolls, pork pies and scotch eggs are a wonderful lunchtime treat or addition to the perfect picnic.

David and Diane Scott

Husband and wife team, David and Di are both Suffolk born and bred and from true Suffolk farming stock. They opened the shop in Framlingham in 2011 after realising the demand for locally sourced, high quality meat. Provenance and quality was always at the top of their priorities and has been part of the ethos of the shop since its beginning. Although Diane will be missed by many of the shops loyal customers, she will still be making appearances behind the counter, helping out with cover and having a good catch up with many of the towns locals.
