About Block & Bottle
Block & Bottle is a multi-award-winning independent butcher and craft beer shop at 188 Heaton Road, combining a traditional free-range butchery with a well-stocked drinks bottle shop under the tagline 'Meat | Beer | Life'. It sources quality free-range meat and sells to both retail customers and the wholesale trade, and has built a strong reputation as one of Heaton's standout food-and-drink independents.
As well as fresh butchery, it offers a changing selection of craft beer in cans and bottles, natural wine, and draught beer to take away or drink in, along with services such as knife sharpening and a programme of events. The shop also runs an online store with nationwide next-day delivery and free shipping on larger orders.
