However, their…read moresausages are dry and tasteless compared to those made to the old recipe in Hursley, and there is no innovation in the preparation of their cuts. I have tried to get a 'hanger' or onglet steak and they say that they only sell the hindquarter of the cow! Florentine cut pork chops can be had on request but why not suggest them and offer to butterfly the birds? On the serious plus side though are their superlative pork pies. And they stock Somerset brie, which for my money is usually better than its French equivalent.

If you are on a budget don't be afraid to ask for a cheaper cut of meat and suggestions on how to cook it, they welcome this!!

That said, even if you live on the other side of Basingstoke, you should make the time to visit these guys. They always have interesting meal ideas (the lamb swirls are amazing!) and will always take the time to give advice. The quality of the produce is simply superb. I got fed up with the rubbish service that you get from the big supermarkets, so thought I'd try and support more local businesses. What a great plan that turned out to be. If you've only ever bought meat from a supermarket (like I had), then you don't know what you're missing. :-) I've ordered my Christmas turkey already and they're going to bone it and stuff it for me. Nice. Thoroughly recommended.

Archer's is a really wonderful little butchers located just off Elm Grove. It's pretty unusual for…read moreme to fall in love with a Butchers, as I'm not the biggest meat-eater in the world, but this place is just great! They specialize in game and the window is full of yummy looking homemade pies. I've yet to try one, but I'm betting they're delicious. The owners are really friendly and are diligently there, open early, every time I pop in to pick up sausages for a Saturday morning brunch. The sausages are really worth the trek up the hills...they have a brilliant variety-I highly recommend the chipolatas. In fact, they have everything you need for a really delicious breakfast...organic meat, bakery bread, free-range eggs and locally pressed apple juice....mmm, Archers is one of the establishments I miss most from my days living in Hanover. Every time I pop up to Archer's, there's a little queue of locals picking up milk or eggs, whilst enjoying a friendly chat with the proprietors. It's really refreshing to see an independent ethically-minded business being supported by its community! If you're an avid carnivore and want to know where your meat is coming from, this is the place for you.

However, just to add that they have received a 5 star award from the Brighton & Hove City Council which you do not see very often.

They have award-winning sausages made on site, and also cure their own bacon, and make up their own beef burgers. There's a variety of stuffed or marinated meat, good for the bbq in the summer or for roasting in the winter. They make sausage rolls and pasties, and it's pretty hard to resist when you walk by and smell that baking! They were happy to give me bones for a dog for no charge. Anything you want, they'll get in for you. There's a small selection of produce and chutneys, and some meat bagged up for the freezer. Oh, and there's cheese and ham, too. I may just start sleeping on the floor. And if you go in and say what you're making, they'll give you the right cut of meat and the right size, and then tell you how long to cook it. I think one of these days, they'll just follow me home and cook it up for me. The downside? It's expensive. But you're paying for quality and expertise, which you just don't get at a supermarket. They're open seven days a week, too.

I went in last night and there was one person already being served - the butcher had tenderised a piece of beef to order and was in the process of cutting it into strips for her. But that didn't mean I had to wait, as he called his colleague out from the back who was happy to assist. I was very pleased with both the service and the quality of the steaks I purchased. I'm a semi-regular here, although I tend to shop here more in the summer when buying for barbecues etc as they have a good range. They also make their own sausages - the pinner porker is great, and they even make pies, pasties and scotch eggs.

The butchers are very friendly, know their stuff and seem to like questions and recommendation requests. These chaps do trade/industry customers, but the store front is based on the busy walk up business by regular customers like you and me. You get a far shorter supply chain without the mass processing centres (and what can go along with that), and the meat sold here is handpicked by an expert butcher and cut in-store which delivers superior quality meat. They have a large selection of meats, and not all of it is on display, so ask if you don't see it. As you can imagine, cutting out several 'middle-men' also means all those saved margins are passed onto you. They also do sell small portions, if you want a skirt of beef, or two t-bone steaks, a single medium chicken, etc. But I've always bought in bulk (2-5kg), then divided it into single meal portions and then into the freezer, and suggest this for maximum savings and minimal trips to Smithfield Butchers. For example, large, good quality skinless, boneless chicken breasts here cost about the same as the basic brands of big name grocers which are small, pumped full of water and inferior quality. The 'steak meats' (e.g. rib eye, fillets, sirloin) are about half the price of big name grocers, and since you're buying a 1-4kg slab, you can cut your steak as thick as you want! Some of the best steaks I've had came from Smithfield Butchers, and the best Christmas Turkey ever! If you can make it to Smithfield Meat Market, this one is a no-brainer.
