The Meat Centre is a butchers shop situated on Soho Road. What you would expect to see at a…read morebutchers is what you will find at The Meat Centre. From meat to chicken to pork sausages, these are some of the things you will find here. I have brought some sausages and cooked them at home. They tasted brilliant and I ended up having some hot dogs. I have also brought some chicken legs and thighs from here and used them to make a Thai Green Chicken curry. Again the chicken itself was excellent and I have no doubts I will be back. I do have to travel some way to get to Handsworth from West Bromwich but it is worth the travelling because I know I am guaranteed quality food from here. Staff are excellent which makes this place even better.

I'd forgotten what a real butcher's was like until I discovered Coates' and now wonder why I have put up with supermarket meat for so long.

We regularly buy meat hampers from this shop and they have always been of very good quality…read more I was disappointed then when I picked my Christmas hamper up earlier on. It cost £60 and contains a turkey crown wrapped in bacon (£2 additional charge), a beef joint, a pork joint and ham joint. Plus an additional hamper £20. The beef joint was full of fat - very poor quality indeed. I asked them politely (that goes without saying), to replace it. They said they had no more in the shop! This as we stood next to a cabinet filled with various beef joints! Basically, they could not care less! There attitude was poor to say the least. I had to take the hamper as I have no time now to buy my meat elsewhere. Otherwise, I would not have bothered. I shall be going elsewhere in future.

Had handmade lamb Koftas last week, as well at handmade burgers, these were tasty and good quality. The staff are excellent and make our weekly visit for the knowledge of our Butchers well worth the 5mile journey from Long Eaton. Very very sorry to hear that the Lamb Koftas are not available anymore and that the homemade burgers are being reduced in weight. please don't change anything, you service and helpfulness is exceptional.

The staff are a real friendly, talkative bunch and always make their customers feel welcome and there are always some great bulk-buy offers available. There's also an impressive range of ready-to-eat foods on sale. The chicken 3-packs especially caught my eye on my most recent visit, priced at just £5 and ranging from Chinese, Minted and Tikka style to BBQ and Peri Peri. Prices here tend to be a little better than they are at Walter Smith just around the corner and the staff are a lot more pleasant too.

I'm a bit of a market novice when it comes to shopping for and actually buying meat and veg. I've…read moregot to be honest and admit that I've always watched the hustle and bustle of the markets in Birmingham from a safe distance. However, having a young family and in these financially challenged times, I thought I should bite the bullet and give it a go as an actual customer, rather than mere browser. Being the coward that I am, I went with my Mum for moral support. She knows what to look for when buying meat and veg. In these days of cellophane packaged supermarket goods, the market produce can seem very daunting. After some hints from Mum and watching her in action, I went for it at A P Doherty's. I wanted to write this review to recommend them because of the amazing deal we got. I think Ryan (the guy behind the counter) mistook my hesitancy for reluctance to spend, whereas I was trying to work out what he was talking about and whether I was getting good value. There are loads of butchers and poultry specialists but these guys gave great value. I got so much chicken and gammon for £20 that the bag burst carrying it to the car.

Inside i think they could have made use of another floor for the customers to shop on as it does look overly spacious from floor to the ceiling. They have a free large parking area and trolleys there to in there specific designations. They have many helpful staffs too. They also employ security staffs which is unprecedented for. Groceries are also reasonably priced.

They sell different types of chapatti flours and accessories to learn how to make the asian food. They sell alot of asian drinks and beers. There are a few located in Birmingham, this one is not the biggest but has necessaries. They are usually busy and fresh meat and milk do get cheaper before they close because they will go out of date. They dont have a reward system like other supermarkets like Sainsbury but they are generally cheap and the things in here are authentic and are really nice. They dont have a rating of how spicy they are unlike sainsburys though but recommended.

Ahhh Mick the Meat. This guy has been a staple of my meals for, quite literally, years now in…read moreBirmingham. A refrigerator van on the corner of the outdoor market might be initially off-putting, but bear with me while I relate the tale of dear of Mickey M... So, I have lived in the Jewellery Quarter for around... Ohhh... 7/8 years now. When I first moved in my budget was majorly overstretched (working a shop job on minimum wage) so shopping on Birmingham Markets was really my only viable choice to actually get some fruit, veg and meat on the plate 7 days a week. We (me and the other half) very quickly came across Mick's van on the corner of the market (opposite the Bullring Tavern). For a bargainous £10 note, Mick furnished us with chicken breasts, steak, pork chops, lamb chops, a pack of bacon and sausages. All of the meat was great quality and ever since that first encounter we have been firm fans. We now tend to go for a £20 bundle and get much the same (except with the occasional bit of stewing steak, chicken portions and whole chickens in the mix). Just £20 tends to sort us out for meat for around 6 weeks (keeping in mind we have at least two vegetarian meals in a week). A trip to see Mick is always like visiting an old friend. If you haven't been back for a while he will enquire as to what you've been up to (in a friendly way, not a pushy one), ask how life's going and let you know about any new or exciting stock he's managed to lay his hands on. We've had everything from Turkey crowns the size of your head to duck breasts from him in the past and it's always been great quality at a great price. If you're looking for something to BBQ, he offers set packages at a set price but state your budget and let him know what you're looking for he will set you up with the best deal you can get. Don't get me wrong, you can certainly get a wider selection in the Indoor markets; but if you're looking to buy meat for a family you won't find better value than Mick The Meat and his big white van.
