J W Todd and Son Pork Butchers is one of two butchers on Clifton Street. It was established way…read moreback in 1884, which makes it 126 years old!!! That's some achievement! One of the main reasons that they have maintained such a successful business for so long is their commitment to quality and stocking meats that the locals and Cardiff as a whole appreciate. This includes carrying the meat products from regionally farmed animals such as, welsh beef, welsh lamb, free range poultry, and free range woodland pork, (the latter being their speciality). The level of service that you receive at this butchers is second to none, and acts as a real sweetener considering that the price tags are slightly higher than you would see in lesser establishments. Advice is liberally provided including how to select the right cut of meat for your needs, as well as recommendations on how to cook it. They will even suggest the best ways to store the meat, and get the most out of your purchase for your money... using the bones to make stock etc... This is a great family business!

I have nothing but praise for this small family run business. I have been shopping here all my…read morelife. My family still come here regularly. We always get our Christmas meat too. Their gammon and cooked meats are second to none. Having a specialist independent pork butcher on my doorstep is a real privilege. I have lived in London and travelled all over the world but I think the quality of the food served here is comparable with anywhere in the country. When i first visited the floors were wooden and had sawdust on them. Clifton Street was a thriving shopping area then too. A lot has changed but Todd's has managed to stay reassuringly the same. All the produce is freshly made or cooked on the premises and includes ham,pork, gammon, sausages,faggots, dripping,chitlings pork pies, brawn and polony. They also sell cooked chicken, and my personal favourites tongue and salt beef. Perhaps someone should give Jamie Oliver a call...?

I went here recently to pick up some BBQ items some sausages & burgers. The quality of the meat is…read moretop notch and they have a wide variety of flavoured sausages and beef burgers. The taste of D Prings products are truly awesome if you wanna impress people with your BBQ skills half the battles in selecting the right meat. The queues are quickly serviced so you don't have to wait long. The butchers were friendly enough and the price was very good I go there whenever I want a good BBQ selection. The best cuts are always available so if you want it just ask, they'll come back with a great steak. I had 8 1/4 pounders and 12 sausages for just over £5 that's great value for money.

Ahhh, butchers. It takes me back to shopping trips with my grandmother, these places do. There'd be…read morea monumental trek up Cathedral Road that would seem to take weeks, but knowing my grandmother's hatred for physical exertion, probably only took an hour or so. We'd maybe stop into a cafe for egg and chips and my nan would, of course, know the owner. We'd go to a couple of pound shops. Not to look about, mind you. But because my nan wanted very specific things from there. And then, before heading to the bus stop, we'd go to the butchers "to pick up something for our tea". That was the routine. And now that I'm an adult myself, I can't help but smile whenever I dive in to grab a steak "for my tea". Of course, that smile also comes from the fact that in this particular butcher, it's not uncommon to see the meat cut right in front of you if you go at the right time of the day. There's something visceral and satisfying about watching your food being sliced up right in front of you. It's like being primal by proxy. And the prices on top of this... they're just the greatest thing ever. Buying a steak big enough to beat a man to death with for pocket change gives an immense amount of satisfaction. And then heading back to the cave with a hunk of meat over your shoulder? You feel like a hunter. What's not to love?

There is a good range of fresh chicken , pork , beef and lamb along with bacon , gammon joints and sliced ham.

The shop can get filled quickly and at times it is hard to move with trolleys everywhere. The staff are polite and helpful and there is a good sized carpark where you will find a burger bar.

From the green and white awning , to the little painted pig holding the open sign and the delivery boy's bike with the wicker basket out front, Young's is as picture card perfect as butchers could possibly be. This continues inside as well with a vast array of old-style instruments and utensils that could be the props department if they ever get round to making Saw XIII: Victorian Punishment 3D. Specialising in pork, the friendly guy behind the meat counter will happily talk you through what's on offer and what to do with it. If you walk in and no one's around ring the bell, as he's probably outback chopping up stuff. It's a tad pricey but you get what you pay for. Four rashers of bacon set me back £2.20 but unlike the rubbish you get from supermarkets, it isn't plumped up with water and doesn't shrivel in the pan to size of a postage stamp. It was also delicious. Young's is a really nice, friendly shop and worth a visit if you ever pop to Llantwit for the day.

Their meats melt in the mouth and are so utterly flavoursome, that I can't imagine that the best eateries in Cardiff haven't caught on!

They also stock a wide range of food in their farm shop including locally made jams, chutneys, pastas and honey. The locals rave about the cured bacon and delicious homemade meatballs, but they also make amazing sausages, faggots and burgers as well. In addition Ty Talgarth operate various box schemes. (I'd probably be shot at dawn by my friends if I didn't mention this!)

Bryngwenyn Farm is just as steeps writes and in a beautiful spot, I would definitely recommend its' location for a peaceful getaway with its' holiday cottages and b and b with the great advantage of the fabulous mainly organic farmshop with wonderful proper organic and freerange eggs(delicious for breakfast today). As well as doing a good shop there, we bought the aforementioned sausages, pork etc some wonderful organic vegetables, we had delicious home made cake and tea so definitely a step up from the usual supermarket venture.

Bryngwenyn Farm is many things in one. The part we go for is the Farm Shop. We were pointed here by…read moreout neighbours and decided to visit one Sunday afternoon. It is a bit off the beaten track so we had never seen it before, but we were pleasantly surprised. The shop itself is tiny, but still seems to hold plenty of goodies. There is a freezer full of meat (including the best sausages we have ever tasted), a fridge packed with cheese, yoghurt, milk and more, another freezer with bread, icecream and frozen fruits, a fruit and vegetable section and then shelves full of everything you can think of. They even stock Ecover products so if you are looking to avoid the supermarket, this is the place to go. Their home-milled flour is well worth a try and makes delicious bread. The shop is also a cafe and is laid out with a few tables. If you are looking for something different, they sell Alpaca wool gloves and hats! The rest of the farm includes holiday cottages and animals to see as well as the flour mill. I am tempted to sign up for one of the bread making courses. It is in an idyllic spot too with gorgeous views and a posse of sheep to greet you as you make your way down the track!

The range at Reeds was better than nearby rival 'The Family Butcher'. If we don't support our local butchers, then presumably one day all our meat will come from China or maybe the moon or some sort of sci-fi factory where wood pulp goes in and meat comes out. So if you are buying meat in Braunton, the only reason not to go to Reeds might be the burgers, which seemed much better at the competition. In fact, so good were they from 'The Family Butcher' that I half expected to be offered them furtively from under the counter as a 'special' for 'local people' only. But this is Braunton, not Royston Vasey.
