Why do butchers all close on Sundays? I find it completely bizarre. It's like a church closing on a Sunday. They must miss out on so much trade. Why not close on a Monday instead? Why close on the day of the week that your product is used most?
Butchers in supermarkets?
Option 1 refrigerate
Option 2 supermarket meat
Option 3 Find a farm shop

Assuming the busiest meat day, is down to the traditional Sunday roast and that most folks traditionally eat this Sunday lunchtime. It leaves a window of 1-2 hours in the morning, where they can sell cuts of meat, after that the joint needs to be in the oven. You need a good couple of hours, to thoroughly clean a butchers shop, at the end of a day. How much extra business will this really bring in ?
Not in Sussex but I am sure there is one in Lagton green just outside tun wells.
If I'm going to have a Sunday roast, I don't wait until Sunday morning to dash out and buy it. Back in the day (1950s, 1960s), when nearly every family routinely had a Sunday roast, NO shops were open on Sundays, butchers or otherwise.
Nor would I, usually. Today I woke up and thought I fancied one, so the supermarket will get my money instead. I can't be the only person in that situation, and I cannot imagine a butcher would make more money on a Monday or a Tuesday than they would on a Sunday.
In the 1950s yes, but this is my point, it's not the 1950s anymore. Perhaps it is in Sussex.

Yes, I had noticed it's not the 1950s any more - and far fewer families routinely have Sunday roasts, so even less demand for Sunday morning butchers than back then (even if the Sunday trading laws been less stringent back then).In the 1950s yes, but this is my point, it's not the 1950s anymore.
