The staff are friendly and helpful and they have some amazing deals. There is a great selection of unusual flavours in relation to their sausages, chicken and pork chops that you wouldn't normally see and their selection of steaks is excellent All in all a great place to stock up on your weekly meat goods

Kelan McMichael has really struck Gold with the latest eatery in South Belfast. My wife, two…read moredaughters and I dined there last night and were thoroughly impressed!! As we approached we saw the A board with some tantalising offers. On entry the place was busy and had a good vibe about it. We were warmly received and seated. The menu was printed on a single large card (which I'm a fan of). There was also a small specials menu and a kids menu (Calf & Lamb - superbly titled!!). I decided on three panko cooked oysters and my wife had the cured trout. Kids had the fish and chips and chicken and chips at the same time. We asked for regular fried chips and not the beef dripping ones, which was duly obliged. The presentation of the two starters were superb and the oysters were soft and moist and the panko was crispy-all four of us loved them!! The sea trout salad was very tasty-although my two girls are smoked salmon fans!! The kids meals were just right portion size and tasted great-girls plates were emptied!! For my venison I asked for it medium, served with peppercorn sauce and mushrooms, my wife had the fish and chips. My venison was flawless, soft and 'melt in your mouth'. It was well complimented by the peppercorn sauce and mushrooms. My wife really enjoyed her crispy fish and chips with real tangy tartare and peas. We shared a delightful banoffee, which was eaten at great haste and rounded off an amazing meal. It was all washed down with sparkling and regular water. All for less than £70 as well. A huge big thank you to Mars, Kelan and all the team, this will be a huge success!! The Belfast Bull & Ram is situated at 44 University Road (the old Beatrice Kennedy).

Atlantic meat market is owned by the same family who own Atlantic Fish next door. This shop is a…read morebit of an institution in North Belfast. It has won various awards, particularly for its pork sausages who's accolades are surrounding the walls. They also offer a good few value packs which offer a lot of meat for a very reasonable price. They also don't mind if you want to change something in the pack for something else, they are more than happy to oblige. My family always get their Christmas turkey and I have never been disappointed with it!

A very well known family run butchers (as most of them seem to be, actually) which is very handily…read morebased just off the Antrim Road, and caters for a very large area of the lower Antrim Road - there doesn't seem to be much competition to be honest. It's a very smart premises, it invites you in with the impression of cleanliness and you get the feeling it's a well run business that is very concerned with meeting the needs of its customers. The men behind the counter know lots of people's names and are really friendly - full of chat and banter. The meat is great quality too, and they have lots of offers on especially at BBQ time - when the meat is flying off the counter faster than they can put it out. Only downside - the parking is a bit of a nuisance, but that's a minor point and not really their fault.

They always have a huge amount of meat in the window. Pulls you in when walking past. The staff are very friendly and super helpful. They also sell some other additional food items. They have stacks of eggs to buy.

If it's a traditional, old style butcher you're after then I can heartily recommend Crowes. They…read morepromise 'grade A meats' and for the main part deliver. Situated in a striking corner block just at the bottom tip of Gresham St the building stands alone with only a car park and a couple of sex shops opposite for company. Along with the usual meaty goodness for sale there's a bit of a grocery counter with milk, bread and some other condiments and they do plenty of good deals throughout the week. As the previous review notes local butchers have been getting it tough the last decade so it's nice to see Crowes competing with the big boys, price and quality wise. One other bonus to a visit is that the lads working in the shop always are friendly and have a good bit of banter ready for you, be it sport, weather or women related. Pros: Great quality, good prices. Cons: A tiny bit out of the way.

I can't recommend this old style family run butcher more highly and it seems I'm not the only one…read morewho's impressed. I was on a search - a search for a particular ingredient not often looked for or stocked in this little island, bone marrow. I'd recently bough Fergus Henderson's marvellously sharp and interesting book, Nose to Tail Eating.Fergus in his restaurant, St.John in London (now awarded two mitchelin stars) focuses on modern old school British cooking, utilising every part of the animal, with notable focus on offal. One dish that caught my eye was their legendary roast bone marrow and parsley salad. But alas, where to get some cow bone. I tried a few small places in the city centre with no luck until I called in. I asked and he came back with two huge chunks of beef shin bone. Superb, less subtle and dainty than the pictures I'd seen but none the less... bones and, free of charge!

The difference between the stuff in here and what you get in Tesco is like chalk and cheese, or between something that might be meat and actual, farm reared meat. The personal service is wonderful, and if you are like me and have no idea about weights or cuts of meat and only know how much you need by the size of a polystyrene packet in a fridge these guys will sort you out. The place is spotless and they also carry all sorts of yummy goodies to add to your dish like sauces and tobacco onions. My goodness, the tobacco onions...yum. The location is ideal, with handy parking right outside and there is also a fruit and veg spot next door so you can keep your whole dinner local and actually cheaper than the supermarkets.

The guy serving seemed friendly and certainly wasn't pushing for me to make a decision while I pondered what to buy close to closing time. My 5 yr old wanted sausages so I bought half a dozen each of pork, pork & leek and beef. On cooking there wasn't too much fat coming out of them, skins stayed intact and the meat was nice and juicy. The whole family enjoyed eating them but the beef was a clear winner. As I try more products I'll update this review but first impressions are good.
