We have three members of staff who are all local. Susan and Shirley are even within walking distance of the shop – they know 99 per cent of the people who come in!' Dominic, who has been involved with the business for around three years now, said the traditional butcher shop provides the 'best quality at a reasonable price'. 'Our most popular item is our chicken fillets, they come in a wide variety of flavours. Then we have our Cumberland sausages which are made on-site.' However, Dominic's favourite thing about working at Graham Eyes is 'by far the customers'. Graham Eyes Butchers celebrating Valentines Day.

Customers are the best thing about it. "We have a lot of regular customers, some who come in three or four times a week and people who just come in for a crack, but I encourage that every day. 'It's a real community hub and we're trying to keep the aspect of the traditional over-the-counter butchers.' Dominic has a real passion for the meat business with over four decades in the industry. He started butchering from the age of 12 when he lived above a butcher shop. (Image: Graham Eyes) He ended: 'This award is not just brilliant for the business, but for the trade I love and I'm passionate about. I have a lot of pride and passion.' Graham Eyes High Class Butcher's in Maryport is located on Curzon Street. It is open 365 days a year. They also have locations in Whitehaven, Alston and Bowness. News & Star readers will now be able to vote for their favourite finalist by picking up a copy of the daily newspaper between Monday, May 5, and Saturday, May 17.
