1980
In 1988 Stanley retired. Royston, by then keen to withdraw from the rat race, bought the business. As the shop had become well known as Green's, the name was retained.

1990
Royston's son-in law Philip Cripps joined in 1990 after 11 years as a Chef, mainly with TrustHouse Forte but including training with Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France.
The combination of Master Butcher and Master Chef has made the business one of the finest of its kind in the country.
Philip's wife Caroline (nee Hine) is active in the business as are Royston's siblings Susan and Robert Hine. Royston's grandsons are Saturday helpers. All staff are encouraged to feel part of the Green's family.

2000
Green's received the ultimate accolade - election to the prestigious Guild of Q Butchers - Britain's premier craftsman butchers where service and quality are paramount and assured. Today Green's serves a wide area of West Berkshire, Reading, and South Oxfordshire where discerning clientele expect - and get - the best.
A local delivery service is available for larger orders.

1950
During the 1950's, on the site of the present-supermarket in Pangbourne's Square, there was a high quality butchers called Colebrooks. It was owned by the Reading firm of the same name, and the manager was Stanley Green. He took a keen young apprentice by the name of Royston Hine.

1960
Colebrooks was sold around 1962, at a time when the MacLachlan Family Company was redeveloping the old furniture shop and Constitutional Club at 2/10 Whitchurch Road. Group Captain MacLachlan invited Stanley Green to set up a quality butcher to replace Colebrooks, and Stanley asked Royston to be Manager. The new shop was an immediate success. Both owner and manager were dedicated in their pursuit of excellence. But by 1967 young Royston determined to see more of the world and spent the next twenty years developing a successful career in the meat trade, culminating in a senior international corporate directorship.
