About Chris’ Country Cuts

Chris’ Country Cuts is a specialty retail butcher shop located in the downtown core on King St in London, Ontario. Serving the local community, the shop provides a variety of locally sourced meats, including beef, chicken, pork, Ontario lamb, milk-fed veal, Muscovy duck, geese, Cornish hen, and rabbit. Customers can purchase specific items such as properly aged and trimmed beef and turkey burgers, beef pies, pheasant, and seasonal stock. The shop also offers bulk buying options and freezer beef sides, including hinds and long loins. Additionally, they provide 28 different flavors of house-made sausages and serve as a retail partner for La Noisette Bakery, offering fresh bread and bagels on select days of the week. The business is owned by Chris and Anne Lyons. Chris is a professional butcher with over 40 years of experience, working alongside his mentor Bob, who previously worked at Sullivan’s Old North Market. Together, the team brings 80 years of experience in meat preparation. The shop originated as a university field project while Anne was attending UWO, leading to the opening of their first location in 1998. After a second location opened in the London Covent Garden Market in 1999, the original shop closed in 2005. The business describes itself as an old-fashioned butcher shop that follows a motto of doing things right without shortcuts. For special occasions and family events, the shop encourages customers to order ahead of time to ensure suppliers can provide the necessary products. They offer a wide range of seasonal and holiday-specific meal ideas, such as brunch items like peameal bacon and garlic steak, as well as specific menus for holidays like Valentine's Day, Easter, and Christmas. Customers can place orders for pickup or delivery through an online order page or via email.
