The best thing about this butchers is the value for money. Not only are you sold superior goods, but at normal prices - why would you buy meat elsewhere? The main things to try are the sausages and pies. Both are truly brilliant and well worth the pitiful amount of money you will have to pay for them. I cannot recommend this shop more highly and it is well worth a visit.

I visited on Burns' night and they were advertising homemade haggis too. On the opposite side of the shop there is a sandwich counter which provides breakfast rolls with bacon, sausage etc. There's a good range of lunchtime sandwiches and also a hot carvery, pies, pasties and soups. They also sell a range of greengrocery items including fruit, veg, chutneys and dried fruits. To top the lot they also sell home made ready meals and provide outside catering too! Lovely produce and well worth a visit.

I've bought an amazing lamb rack, steaks, sausages and short ribs from here. All of which have been outstanding. Firstly, the sausages. Crombie's are famous for them! And they are delicious. Well worth the trip just to stock up on sausages. Everything else, the quality of the meet has been great. I've recently purchased a sous vide machine so anything that can be slow cooked for hours is going from Crombie's butcher straight into my machine for hours on end. One thing, it's expensive compared to what you'd get from the grocery stores. I've found the quality to be way better but be warned- it might put a dent in your wallet. Great selection of marinades, ready to cook pies and other savoury pastries, and service is always friendly and helpful.

If you mention this place to any self respecting Edinburgh carnivore, they should acknowledge you with a contented sigh ("ahhhh, Crombie's") and a wistful look in their eye. Their sausages are widely regarded as amongst the best in the UK and they supply lots of local restaurants with them to keep the punters happy. There are many different varieties to choose from and they range from the traditional (pork, chipolatas, Scotch beef) to the exotic (boar, pork and stilton is an inspired and tasty combination). Asides from sausages, they do the usual butcher cuts of meat (steaks, lamb etc) and meals for you to heat at home if you can't be bothered cooking. Most of the meat is locally sourced and everything is incredibly good quality. It's just a shame that they close at 5.30pm, far too early for those of us with office jobs.

SOOO good! Been ordering from them for a few years and never had bad service. Just an update - found out they supply Kyloe. So if you have had a steak there and you like it. Order from the farmer direct so you can have at home!

The sausages and burgers they make their are great and the meat comes from the farm, they also make a great rang of pies and pastys and cakes you can buy via the slice or the whole cake. The coleslaw from the butchers is great and goes really well with the ham cooked on the bone that they do. They do a range of puddings in the fridge and lovely frozen fruit great for pies in the freezer. There buns are fab, the best things are the corned beef slices the country barn pastys and the mars bar slices the lemon drizzle cake is also worth a try The coffee shop is great with plenty of seats there is another level off the level where you get served the food is not too expensive and if you get corned beef slices they come with crisps and salads and sometimes a little chutney The hot chocolate from here is fab It is not far from here to druridge bay and a nice little walk to the ruined chapel

It's not the cheapest of places to buy your meat, but I think even Scrooge would spend a few quid here every new and then. Once inside the shop the range on offer is vast and all very tempting. The staff will generally ask you what you want, but don't feel you have to refrain from browsing they won't rush you with your order so take your time to find what you want. Whilst many of the goods aren't that cheap the entry level goods here are still of very high quality and unless you really want to treat your taste buds should suffice. All in, this is a high end butchers that really delivers on quality.

This is my regular breakfast, so I'm glad to buy most of my future porridge here. It's within easy walking distance of the city centre as well as residential areas such as Bruntsfield and Morningside. It looks like they sell excellent quality meats and there always seem to be regulars in here to purchase their meats.

I've never seen a butchers in my whole life this busy and this is because it is a very good butchers, especially when you consider it in terms of value for money. Prices start at just over £3 per kilo for ribs and the first boneless item comes in at just under £4 per kilo for some pork shoulder. As you move up the quality of the meat the price remains very good value for money as it moves up with the quality and this is what makes this place so popular. Put simply, this is one of the better butchers in town.

They have a chiller with a variety of pre-prepared meats, including Irn Bru sausages, which were on offer 3 packs for £11, or about £4 each. The staff were super friendly and chatty.

Maybe not for veggies though.

But don't let that put you off, just make sure you allow plenty of time if you are coming to eat. Situated in the middle of nowhere, they are a fully organic farm selling their own meat and veg, with a fantastic range of other organic products in their farm shop; and they also use nearly all their own produce in their lovely cafe. If you are passing, make a point of stopping off here to browse in the shop or have a snack. If you are on the south side of Edinburgh, it's only 20 minutes or so in the car to get here and is well worth the effort. I had a couple of hours free, so I drove out from Edinburgh for lunch. On the menu, the hake and fennel fishcakes caught my eye, so I ordered those with some sweet potato wedges on the side. The fishcakes were delicious (even if they did have to buy those in), as were the sweet potato wedges. With a Belvoir ginger beer to wash it down, I was well satisfied. As I wasn't in a rush, I decided to follow with a slice of polenta cake and a coffee. The cake was a little on the dry side - I guess maybe polenta cake isn't their best-seller - and the coffee, although perfectly fine, was maybe not the best I've ever had. But the place was quiet, and for under £20 it was a pretty reasonable and high-quality lunch. So do go and patronise this place, they are doing wonders on a shoestring to promote organic farming practices and food; it so deserves your support. They do home delivery organic veg boxes too - what are you waiting for?
