Fans of BBC2's cult series The League of Gentlemen often appear outside our Hadfield shop because it is the location for filming scenes with Royston Vasey's very own butcher Hilary Briss.
Here we show some exclusive images taken during recent filming at our shop for The League of Gentlemen feature film.
One fan website describes the Hilary Briss character as follows :-
"The owner of Royston Vasey's butcher shop (H. Briss and Son), he serves up his mysterious "special stuff" to select clientele only. Upon tasting it, his customers are hooked. His male-only clientele include important people in the town (the police, the magistrate, councillors, etc). In Series Two the town is hit by a mysterious plague of usually-fatal nosebleeds, and it is eventually discovered that Eunice, has been taking the special stuff and cutting it with her own paste, then selling the burgers from her stand. A sad but determined Hilary leaves his wife (who turns out to be a cow) and flees the country, setting up shop in Jamaica" [www.lunacy.net/league]
Of course, our own butchers, shops and product are all special, but not in the way Briss's customers expect! We're very pleased to welcome the fans when they come !
