Hendersons Butcher

About Hendersons Butcher

Hendersons Butcher trades from 152 Roker Avenue, the long shopping street running through Monkwearmouth towards Roker on the north side of the Wear. It serves customers from Monkwearmouth, Roker and Fulwell, and is a short distance from the Stadium of Light and the seafront.

At its most recent food hygiene inspection by Sunderland City Council, in November 2025, the shop received a rating of 5, the top score on the Food Standards Agency scale. As with most independent butchers, you can ask for the cut and weight you need and order ahead for larger joints. There is no website with opening hours, so call in during normal shop hours, and check before travelling around bank holidays. The Food Standards Agency publishes every food hygiene rating, with the date of the last inspection, at ratings.food.gov.uk.
