Meat Like It Used to Be is a great neighbourhood butcher, filled with knowledgable staff and great…read morequality meat. 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.

I hear the turkey for Christmas is amazing - the queues outside are a sign of that! It's very reasonable price-wise, it certainly makes more sense to buy from them as it's local produce and you're supporting a local business. Also, you won't need to drive! Friendly as always, hope they are around for a long time yet! Opening hours can be a bit of a pain, but that's a small price to pay! Roll on summer.

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.

Not a fan of the co-op down the road this is the best place to get produce, eggs, meat and just about most things you can think of to fill your fridge and cupboard. The upstairs even has large freezers with ice cream and baked goods, and more meat. The people are very friendly and everything is quite affordable. I am so happy to be able to support my local farmer. They'll soon be starting a delivery service as well!

We've just moved to the area and are here for a year without a car, so being able to walk to a shop…read morewith such variety and extremely reasonable prices is wonderful! My husband was able to find whole oats here (called Jumbo Oats) which he couldn't find in any of the major grocery stores. The meat prices are extremely good especially for being so fresh and local, and the frozen meats are a super bargain! We bought some just-picked seasonal strawberries yesterday and they were amazingly delicious. We still need to get some things at a bigger store like some familiar national/international brands or particular varieties of groceries, but Radmore Farm Shop is definitely our new place to walk for fruit, veg, and meat. It's perfect for those "What are we going to have for dinner" afternoons because I can grab meat, onions, mushrooms, and whatever veg suits and cook something up fast. We are definite fans and plan to shop here routinely while we're in town.

FAR less expensive than Ginger Pig, seems clean, the meat is the right colour, doesn't smell, and has a friendly, knowledgable butcher. This seems like the kind of place where one could call up with a special request and, given ample time, they could find it for you (though I have yet to actually test this). Though it is a small shop (perhaps call ahead if you need something rare), it is fairly comprehensive, affordable, and a VERY welcome alternative to Tesco.

I only went in for some ribs and ended up getting completely carried away :) Their selection is awesome. I ended up buying steak and wild boar burgers, chicken breast, lamb ribs, Radlett sausages, spicy chicken wings and free range eggs! Okay, it is not as cheap as some of the bigger shops, but then you most definitely get what you pay for. The chicken breasts are delicious and I only needed 2 as they were rather sizeable! The lad behind the counter, was helpful, smiling and charming and nothing wass too much effort for him. I love the fact that they support the local community and the farming and there is a lot of local produce here to chose from. They also do a selection of glazed produce, hot & spicy, BBQ, herbed and so on, so you can be lazy and get it straight from them all done, no faff and straight in the oven or on the BBQ. I will 100% be back here. The quality is outstanding, fantastic selection and great service. I am a mega fan of this place.

It you want a good old-fashioned butchers then Turners is where you should come…read more Queues outside on a Saturday morning speak volumes. It's a tiny shop but the butchers offer excellent advice and sell great quality produce. As far as possible meat is locally sourced and the home-made sausages are something else! There's a lot of choice for such a small outlet and, if they haven't got what you want then they can either cut it or order it in. Turner's have a full game license and, in season, stock a good range of locally sourced game. Local produce is also stocked from preserves through veg. Customers are valued and treated as important no matter what you are buying. Prices are fair and the quality is outstanding! Recommended
