Magnificent all around. I came here on my final day in London on a recent trip and wish I had come…read morehere sooner. While they had an impressive array of raw meats, the reason why I came was to try their selection of prepared British classics. It was mid-morning when I arrived and they were just taking their meat pies out of the oven. They all looked divine but I since I had to be at the airport in a few hours, I couldn't commit to purchasing one so instead, I bought items that I could easily shove into my backpack. I walked out with 3 scotch eggs, a pork pie and a pasty...all for the grand sum of £5! I ate one and a half scotch eggs and shared the pasty and the other half scotch egg with a friend right away. Both were amazing, better than any other version I've tried. It wasn't until I was back home in Boston that I had the last scotch egg and pork pie. The egg tasted even better than the first time and the pork pie was the best I've ever had. Service was top notch by the extremely friendly and polite butcher behind the counter. I cannot wait to come back here the next time I am in London to try the meat pie...unfinished business!.

With meat cut to order, you can get exactly what you want in the size you want - along with any advice on choosing and cooking it that you may need. Worth a special mention are the wonderful pies. I love the steak and kidney in particular, although these do tend to sell out before the end of the day. The pork pies are also superb, and the faggots absolutely delicious. There is also a range of other products including sauces, pickles and relishes.

COVID-19 Heroes Top Quality Products sourced to perfection…read more I Have lived in Nunhead since 2010 and until recently I was quite an infrequent customer. All thanks to the COVID-19 crisis I have now become a regular customer! What is there not to like about this butcher? Top quality cuts supplied at a very reasonable price, I love the ham, game pie, corned beef and oh the pie & liquor. During the COVID-19 crisis this dedicated team of three have been resolute and not altered opening hours. I do hope when this crisis is over we will not forget which establishments stayed open. You are all Community Heroes.

Excellent butcher in Bermondsey's Maltby Street Market…read more Great selection of hi and lo cuts, there is a viewing counter in the front part of the store and in the back is where they keep a majority of the meat. Specials hang on the back wall, Jacob's ladders and ox cheek were well priced when I stopped in. I ended up getting 1.5 kilo of Jacobs ladders (aka short ribs) for about 20. The meat is really good quality and well worth the price. Service is to the point, but friendly and very accommodating. The man who was helping me kindly offered to cut my ribs down to size so that they could fit in my pan (don't get me wrong, im an awesome cook but not so great at cuts!) Try and get there earlier in the morning, as some of the more popular cuts will sell before the afternoon rush of the market area (especially on weekends!) I'm really glad I stopped in. My friends who live in the area have been raving about them and now I can definitely see why. Will be back!

While we have some truly spectacular butcher shops here in the Bay Area, I must say that the charm and authenticity of Hussey's is on a completely different plane. I mean, you do have to actually board a plane if you want to go there, but it's really a destination level butcher. Their sister store, just down the lane a bit, Hussey's Grocery doesn't have a review written yet - but I'll get to it. I was enthralled from the very first - there's a truly Locals Only Pub that serves Sunday Roast with all the Fixin's - one of Wayne's brothers works the bar there and rotates in to Husseys as well. There's a third brother - I don't believe I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance; most of my interaction was with Wayne. First day in - he humored me: let me take video on an actual camera of him breaking down a beautiful cut of meat for my requested Steak Tartare. His knife techniques are surgically precise and beautiful to behold! I also picked up three house made sausages: pheasant and plum, I believe - or perhaps it was pork and plum. Delicious - perfection. They practice whole animal butchery, and will graciously pause to fill a last-minute order/request or head back to the walk-ins from a primal cut. The butcher block is stunning - Wayne says they never stay 'round much because they're sanded down daily as part of their food safety practice of course, and people just queue up to purchase them. When you do pop by Hussey's, you will note that their eggs are pastured and they do not refrigerate them. You can also carry parcels from the Grocery to the Butcher shop and vice versa on the honor system, and they'll ring you up at either spot. I miss it so much!

This is a dying breed (no pun intended). A local butcher who offers good, old-fashioned service,…read morewho knows his customers by name, and who only opens four days a week because he likes to go fishing instead. Peter James has been here for years; on a Saturday the shop is rammed with regulars. You'd never find the shop if someone didn't tell you where it is; down an unassuming side road in the very residential area of Crofton Park, nowhere near the main drag. Yet he is swamped at the weekends, because he provides such a great service. He's not cheap, particularly, but that personal touch is worth it. He can source almost any game (partridge and quail and pheasant, when in season), offers deli meats and things like curry sauces, fresh vegetables, and frozen fish from Billingsgate market. He even does cashback! On his 25th anniversary he gave two bottles of wine away to every customer. And his dry sense of humour has the queue smiling, even though you'll wait a good 15 minutes to be served at busy times. All in all, a place that should be preserved and cherished.

Just once a week, under the arches of a train bridge, you'll find a small cadre of passionate young…read morebutchers wanting to serve you meat they've procured from small, local farmers (mostly) in Britain adhering to free-range, chemical free, nose-to-tail philosophies of production. I really enjoyed their passion as they described their fare. Here's what you should know: - they are only open to the public for a small window of time each week - nothing is frozen or pre-packaged in plastic - for special orders, you might want to order in advance. I'm guessing these guys will try and accommodate any request, but they simply might not be able to do so if you show up on the day with a massive order of something only you might want. - there's nothing being cooked to eat there. In other words, it's not like Borough market where you can look at raw meat and order a sausage roll in the same vicinity. In other words, don't come here with the intention of having lunch or grabbing some things you'll want to carry around for a day. Rather, come here with the intent to shop for food you'll want to take home and store. It's worth it. This is really great fare. And to help in this cause, there are other purveyors of basic ingredients in the same complex, from veggies to bread to cheese. And there's a beer place next door where you can, in fact, consume some consumables right there. Hoppy to it.

I really like sausages. They're yummy and English and comforting with mash if you've had a bad day…read more It's hard to go wrong with them. (Unless it's at three in the morning and you're waiting for a night bus, but you've only got yourself to blame.) So after a lovely trip to the park and the Observatory, I decided that The Honest Sausage in Greenwich would be a good place for a snack. Clearly I'd timed it just wrong as they had no sausages. We waited. And waited. And waited. For about 15 minutes. Maybe longer. But it was sunny and we drank fresh lemonade. Granted it was the most expensive fresh lemonade ever, but it was very yummmy. And well, a hot dog is a hot dog. It was lovely. And perfectly cooked and had onions and stuff. As you'd expect. It was also four quid. I'm not sure a hot dog should ever be four quid from a stand in a park. How gourmet can sausages be? The lemonade was two quid. After the extra wiat, I was very happy to get some food, but I won't go back and pay those prices again.
