Top notch butchers!

Lee's have been in Thirsk for many many years and have a top class reputation for friendliness, affordability, top quality and community spiritedness. They are often sponsoring local events which in a town like Thirsk are warmly received. Lees have two shops the main butchers and the second shop which does the sausages, cold meats, pork pies (to die for!). Can't recommend this butcher highly enough!

The pork pies in particular are to die for! The only thing which lets it down is the attitude of one member of staff in particular. You will be lucky to get a grunt from her, let alone a 'thank you'. Such a shame as the other 2 ladies (sisters I think) are lovely. The grumpy one is enough to put you off going in though, especially when she's stood at the window with her arms folded, scowling. Scary!!

Heron Frozen Foods is basically an Iceland - only cheaper! I…read morewas chuffed to bits when it opened up recently in Thirsk Town centre as for too long tesco have had the monopoly. The store is well stocked with frozen foods of all varieties, from meats to ready meals, frozen veg to puddings and also have a large range of other shopping goods such as tins, milk & dairy, dried goods (pasta, rice), bacon etc and some home items such as toilet paper and washing up liquid. The items are without exception cheaper than Tesco and its heartening to see old brands back such as Lyons Maid icecream! The staff are friendly and helpful and the service quick. I can't recommend highly enough. Free parking availble in the town.

The shop is well stocked and laid out with fresh counted for fish, meat, cheese and cakes. They have an excellent wine section with a specialist roaming around nearby :) As a regular I have come to know the people that work there so it makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The quick pay service and the free newspaper for myWaitrose members is an added bonus. I go shopping on my motorbike so it helps that I can pack my rucksack and saddle bags as I go rather than all at the end of my shop at the checkout. Enjoy :)

Because I couldn't make my mind up and choose from the many delicacies on offer, I bought a second lunch a bread bun with a kofta lamb kebab inside topped with spicy tomato sauce. They do several types of stuffed bun like this and they're the only place I know to do this. Utterly delicious. Previously I have bought many steaks, countless pounds of sausages, bacon, chicken and pork. All of it has been excellent. Cockburns have recently started making pork and black pudding pies. Utterly delicious. If you like pies then you need to try one.

I can't recommend highly enough.
