This is in oppinion the best butchers in St Helens, a family owned and run traditional butcher now…read morerun by the son who has inherited his fathers standards. Never had a bad cut of meat from here, (unlike the supermarket) very reasonable prices and no rubbish. They will cut you any size of joint, score the pork correctly, make there own sausages, cut you a crown, anything. You cant get that in a supermarket either. The meat is always fresh and the shop is kept prestine whenever you call in. In summer they do fresh bbq packs and all the trimmings, at Christmas they do the best pork and turkey I have ever tasted all localy produced meat. The guys in here are great, if they see you ones they will always say hello.

They would deliver to us in time for the afternoon cooking session even when my wife forgot to order until after midnight! (They have an answerphone and act on the night's messages first thing in the morning. The few times we were even slightly disappointed in something, it was changed immediately. I would recommend Houghton's to any business interested in local, good quality cuts of meat.

Cumberland, which cooked up beautifully without an ounce of excess grease, none of the usual "scum" that escapes when you grill bangers, and they tasted amazing. Definitely worth repeat visits to work my way through their entire range. Also have a good range of "semi-prepared" meat products, e.g. marinated steaks/chops. Spotlessly clean shop and really friendly, informative staff who are more than happy to give advice and recommendations. Makes me proud to be a carnivore!

They marinade all kinds of meat for different meals and they all look incredible. I always tell people about it here because the staff are so friendly and helpful! The first time I went I was spoilt for choice and couldn't quite decide and a really friendly guy helped me out and asked what the occasion was, what kinds of things I like and told me to get the lemon and garlic chicken it was divine! I also have tried the salt and pepper ribs and minted lamb shank all absolutely incredible. The reason I chose today to write a review is the pork pies are meant to be incredible so I ordered my dad a large pork pie saying no1 dad on it, fab gift and not pricey! Definitely worth a try!

They have…read morereally good offers and especially for the older clients they have a percentage off for pensioner days. They also do hot and cooked meats so if you need something for tea but not time to cook it try Gabbots and see what you think. Staff here are always really helpful and patient, especially as most of the time when you go to this butchers you can get carried away and have the staff weighing all sorts. You just can't beat value for money here.

Huge arms, a friendly demeanor, jovial facial hair, he's like one of those mannequins you find in the countryside. Butcher shops are the kind of things that appear to be disappearing as great, bloated supermarkets blight high streets up and down Britain.

They also sell veg and tinned produce. I'm not sure how much real butchering they do nowadays. I've asked for some lesser known cuts and have been told they don't do them. The back of the shop where most of the work is done is blocked off and I never trust what I can't see. (That is no reflection on hygiene, just my preference) They do source lots locally so should be commended for that All in all it does what you'd expect of this type of shop.
