The second award won by the butchers was for their corned beef which judges described as having "a fresh aroma and a great depth of flavour".
The local butchers have had a very busy year as they have won a number of awards including eight gold awards and seven silvers at the Foodex Meatex trade show at Birmingham in April and a Best in Category for their gammon steak.
Stuart added: "We've had a bit of a problem finding space for all of the awards. "We've put eight certificates in one frame so we can fit all of them!
