I've just moved here and as an avid cook I wanted to befriend a good local butcher…read more Well, these guys didn't disappoint. From having a 5 min healthy discussion on preferences of wing-tip sirloin and ribs of beef I was given a sneeky peep round the back. These guys provide the beef for the best steak places in Glasgow. I'd eaten at one of them earlier in the week and my eyes were bulging at the trays of chateaubriands and rib in sirloins. So, as you'd expect, their meat is very well sourced and as good as you're going to get anywhere. I took a1kg 1rib Angus and pan roasted it in butter and wilted rosemary to get a good sear, then a quick 15 mins in the oven. I had it sat on some roasted beetroot puree with a port, wine and fresh beef stock reduction and the beef was some of the best I've ever eaten. Superb quality and ageing. Week after I wanted a lamb rump as I had the hunger for some dauphinoise. They were happy just to prep some up straight away, no fuss. The lamb was delicious........as was the dauph ;) ........and the sausages. Get the Italian fennel ones and slow cook cook them in your tomato sauce for pasta. Very, very impressive. Prices are as you'd expect for meat of this quality. Look on the window for weekly £10 deals. Steak and chicken. Well worth it.

First to review? What is going on, Glasgow Yelpers?…read more This JOINT rests unassumingly on Byres Road and claims to be purveyors of fine meats. They are indeed. Walk by often enough, but was compelled to go in today noticing the £10 offer which includes 2 sirloin steaks, 2 pork loins, 4 steak lorne sausages and 4 pork sausages. And if that doesn't make you want to go as well, you're either a vegetarian, or just plain ole crazy (yes, those are different). Nice decor, welcoming, with a good layout and professional staff. Excellent selection of all sorts, including lamb burgers that are absolutely getting destroyed next visit. Delighted with my purchase today and will return. Enough said.

I really enjoy shopping in in independent stores, I was surprised to find this little gem with a…read morebig display of their finest selected cuts of meats, displayed in an eye catching way that complimented the foods on offer. I buy my Stornaway black pudding here all the time when I'm passing through, at the side there is a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, potatoes and fresh eggs. You can order any items that they don't usually stock like turkey's for Christmas & venison. Definitely a place to stop by for all your fresh meats.

Stymied at step 2 when I called a highly-rated establishment in Clarkston. Me: "Hi, I'd like to order some lamb shanks for Friday (3 days away)." Butcher: "Oh sorry, someone else has already ordered lamb shanks." Me: "OK....do you only have one lamb??" Next call Thomson Brothers; Me: "Hi, could I order some lamb shanks please?" Butcher: "No problem, sir. How many? For Friday? See you then." On the day, a cheery welcome, some good banter and some superb shanks, all wrapped and ready to go. In terms of quality & size, more like lion shanks than lamb. The shop looks small from outside but is extremely well appointed.has a fantastic selection of meat, including steaks, beef olives, sausages, black pudding...you name it, they've got it. I'm going to be eating more meat, for an excuse to visit my not-so-local butcher.

Campbell Butchers appear to be plodding away and retaining its strong local ties and customers with good special offers , quality produce (free range eggs and such), and a friendly expert approach which is missing entirely from its big brother down the road. Rant alert: Supermarkets don't have butchers, they have meat choppers, despite what their sickly sweet adverts would have us believe....oh and just out of interest, has anyone else lost all respect for that Richard Hammond bloke after those boke-worthy (thanks Adele; see Stereo review) Morrison's adverts, crash or no crash your still a mozzer hussy!!! Anyway back to reality. In an ever increasingly independent butchers free Glasgow its nice to see one thriving and not abusing its position by charging the earth for a sausage.

And the best part about it? It's all criminally cheap. I went in today and left with fenugreek seeds, star anise, cardamom, caraway seeds, rose syrup and nutmeg. For a tenner. That may not sound overly cheap, but these were massssssive bags, and I swear the amount of star anise in the bag will last me about 5 years. I will definitely be back here again and again. The staff are helpful, they know where anything you need is, and the plethora of fresh fruit and veg available will benefit me greatly!
