Ruse and Son celebrate 150 years

Monday, 12 of July, 2010

 

Fifth-generation butcher Oliver Ruse is celebrating 150 years of family ownership at his shop in Suffolk.

The Ruse & Son business was started in 1860. His father retired recently, leaving Oliver and his wife to take over the business.

A next-door abattoir, also part of the family firm, takes meat from local farmers and smallholders to supply the shop, at a rate of approximately 60 animals a week.

Ruse & Son appeared on the BBC Look East news. To view the news clip click play below (courtesy of BBC) or click here to go to the BBC news website.
