Butcher
Melton, Suffolk, IP12

The employer
Reuben’s is a modern butcher, deli and bottle shop in Melton, Suffolk.
We take a cook-focused approach to butchery, pairing high-quality, ethically sourced local meat with a carefully curated range of artisanal produce from independent makers across the UK and Europe.
Alongside the deli and butcher counter, we’ve built a strong wine offering with a focus on low-intervention, organic and classic producers, sourced through respected importers including St. John Wines. The shop sits somewhere between a modern East London deli, neighbourhood butcher and wine store — thoughtful, design-led and deeply food-focused.
We also run regular food truck events from our Airstream trailer and collaborate with restaurants, producers and chefs across Suffolk and beyond. Reuben’s has become a well-loved fixture in the local community with a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality, knowledge and service.

As a Butcher at Reuben's you will work as part of the meat team, preparing products fresh for the counter. The role is customer facing within a vibrant environment, working to the very highest standards.
