History

Established in 1982.

The Thompson family has been a part of the British meat industry since 1904 when Alfred Thompson opened his first butcher shop. His son Bernard took it further and had 53 shops running successfully by the time of WW2. When Bernard’s sons joined the business in the 50s, they developed a national wholesale network based in Smithfield.

In 1982 Peter, the eldest, became the poultry specialist and founded the company that proudly bears his name. Today his son Stuart continues the tradition of four generations who have embraced all facets of the industry from butchery and poultry farming to market-​trading and wholesale.

The Peter Thompson Group specialises in sourcing high quality produce for Britain’s food industry whilst preserving the family’s butcher roots through their vibrant market shop in Smithfield Meat Market.
