About The Butcher's Block
The Butcher's Block is a butcher's shop on Ryhope Street South, in the old village centre of Ryhope at the southern edge of Sunderland. Alongside its meat counter, the business also prepares seafood platters, which makes it a useful stop when you are catering for a party or family celebration.
The shop is registered with Sunderland City Council as a food business and was most recently inspected in February 2026; the current food hygiene rating is published on the Food Standards Agency website. It serves customers from Ryhope, Tunstall and Silksworth. There is no website with opening hours, so call in or ask in the shop about ordering platters or larger cuts ahead of time, particularly in the busy weeks before Christmas.
