First things first... go try the steak!…read more OK, so once you've tried it, tell me, will you ever find somewhere with such good quality for such a great price? No way, me thinks not. Go to, say ... Sainsbury's, one premium steak there £12? OK, At Orr's ... It's £2! The quality elsewhere won't be any better, not by a mile and you've just saved £10 at the local butcher. Handy! Go buy a bottle of nice wine or a bunch of flowers, whatever tickles your fancy. It's win, win, win! Orr's stock the best of the best. I would munch down on chicken olives if my life depended on it as long as they were from Orr's. Try their pork and leek sausages...I won't buy them from anywhere else! It's just a let down once you've tried them from here. Same goes for their chili sausages. The same probably goes for everything they sell. If I had the time and or money I'd have worked through it all by now. If I ever manage to do this I'll be sure to let you know. Though I'd maybe have died happy if I accomplished this. Family run, high quality butcher. Local produce sold and replenished daily. Beautiful, tasty, out of this world meats. Go now, you won't regret it (unless maybe you're a vegetarian? In which case, go right next door!)

Stuck in the middle of a wide variety of old-looking shops is a fantastic little butchers, one which should (but never will) blow every supermarket and chain store out of the water. With every cut of meat you could possibly want, this place had a queue of about ten people waiting to get served. Anywhere else that would be deemed bad service and you would complain. However, a long queue in a butchers is a healthy thing because it shows that people trust it first and foremost, and don't mind paying over the odds for some great food. I would definitely recommend it, not solely because it sells some really top quality meat (especially the steaks) but because it is much better to support local produce rather than processed rubbish that gets shipped in from somewhere dark and dingy.

I love butchers and sadly its a dying trade, leaving the supermarkets to take over with their lower quality and (as Emma P notes correctly) slimy meat! There was a huge selection on offer and they had prepared a lot of products themselves. Marinading kebabs and ribs ready to be cooked on the barbecue. I got Rib-eye steak which was quite expensive, but it's not something I will buy all the time and its quality was worth the price. A great local butchers that, if I do move to the area, I will use regularly.

They have all the usual cuts plus a whole section of marinated specials which always look delicious and are pretty well priced. The guys who work there are really pleasant and always are offering advice either to do with the preparation of the meat or a predicted football score. Quality stuff. Pros: Great service, good quality meats. Cons: A bit off the beaten track.

Very popular among the local residents and very much a family run business. This butchers offers hot food from its deli counter during the day, unusual bottled drinks, cheeses, sauces, meats as well as great bargain hampers for family feasts. The butchers has won many awards of excellence such as The Bridgestone and The Guild awards. The master butcher, Nigel McCreery, boasts a family history of more than fifty years in the trade - and the skills certainly show in the well run establishment and the tasty produce. I noticed a bargain hamper for families which is something I have never seen before. A chicken, steak, mince, burgers, eggs and more all for just £20.00 - no wonder this place is always busy and has been going so long.

This pleasant little farm shop has a tasty stall based in St George's Market, so that's what I'm…read morereviewing here. Located just opposite the fishmongers on the city-side of the market is this little foodie delight. They serve all manner of things on bread, rare-breed burgers and roast pork for example. Now while I'm sure I have sampled their food to go at some point I can't quite remember how it fared, so this time I tried their small but perfectly formed range of meats. I am a sucker for rich game. Pigeon and venison are possibly two of the greatest, iron-y, port rich densely textured meats on earth and if I'm given the possibility I will devour them. I noticed on offer were two small venison steaks, vacuum packed for freshness and convenience. To the best of my knowledge all the meats are sourced from the farm directly and are bred to the highest standards. The steaks of course weren't cheap. With meats like venison which can't truly be 'farmed' the cost is always going to be higher but the richness of the meat was superb. Very lean, rich iron on the nose and a touch of dark blood when removing them from the packet. I flash fried the steaks in a hot pan after marinading in juniper berries, sloe gin, a touch of garlic and fresh lemon thyme. Towards the end of the frying I threw in a chunk of butter and before basting them until it became a noisette. The staff were more than helpful and friendly when talking about the source of the meat and a bit of history about the shop. It's open on Sat and Sun generally at the market. Well worth the trip.

I don't have a problem with organic food.

I do have an issue with the word organic being slapped on everything to ensure it's accepted by the middle class consumer and sold at an inflated price. Luckily in this case, Mullan's farm seem solely interested in producing top of the range meat. This little butcher/farm shop towards the front of the market sells everything from corn-fed chickens (producing that lovely yellow skin which crisps up very well when fried) to venison and beef. I left with half a dozen eggs the last time, slightly more pricey than Mc Carthy's egg stall across the way but they were still great. I ended up using them in a spinach and goats cheese soufflé, very tasty and I recommend it.

The meat is good quality too, and the butcher is helpful when you are making a choice regarding cuts and quality of meat. They have some great offers on also, 8 meatballs in tomato and herb sauce for £3.80 - there is your dinner right there - you can't beat it.

They also offer meat packs, such as a host of burgers, sausages, minced beef for £10 or a bit more for £20. With Tescos located further up the road, the tendency is for customers to go to a chain store for cheaper meat. But as with most butchers, the food is nicer, particularly the minced beef which is perfect for any cottage pies or lasagne. I would definitely recommend this butchers because despite the price of their food being that bit higher than supermarkets, their food is much nicer and it is better to support local businesses.
