Meet Our Team

“I knew from a very early stage I wanted to one day open my own shop, that was always the goal. The Manor Butchery is a culmination of all those years hard graft”

Chris Legg
Director

With over 20 years’ experience working in high-end butcher shops, Chris has devoted his career to perfecting his craft in order to fulfil his dream of opening his own Butchery.

Chris’s first job was an apprentice in his local butcher shop where he benefited from the training and mentoring of two master butchers before progressing up the ranks to eventually become Shop Manager at 21 years old. He then further pursued his career at Royal Windsor Farm Shop as Butchery Manager, Daylesford Organic in Gloucestershire as Head Butcher, Shop Manager of Sheepdrove Organic in Maida Vale, and worked as a head butcher at the top London restaurant Bar Boulud, Mandarin Oriental Knightsbridge where he learned a huge amount about cooking meat stocks, sauces and French charcuterie.

That dream eventually came to fruition in May 2017, when Chris took over Manor Farm Butchers on Victoria Road and since then he’s grown the business, with the help of his team around him, to a thriving butchers in the heart of a bustling high street.

Chris lives in Pinner with his partner Natalia and their two children Mia and Aimee. Every spare moment is spent with them and he loves trips to the park, holidays to the seaside and reading them bedtime stories. He still finds time to practice hot yoga, loves a BBQ, cold beer and has a passion for house music.

Originally hailing from Hampton, Joe’s a highly skilled butcher with over 16 years’ experience working within the meat trade, including positions held at Moens of Clapham, Laverstoke Park in Overton and Fenns of Piccadilly. He joined The Manor Butchery in May 2018, making him the longest serving member of staff. Joe is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the shop and is particularly talented at beef boning and sausage making.

Peter Bushell
Butcher

With a career spanning over 40 years, Peter has a lifetime of butchery experience under his belt having previously worked in some very well established shops across Greater London.

Peter brings with him a wealth of knowledge and is expert in cutting and preparing meat. His most recent position he held for a staggering 17 years at G.H Baxter in Hanwell which sadly closed down after more than half a century of trading.

It’s great to have Peter on board and we look forward to the journey ahead as we prepare the Hillingdon shop for refurbishment.
