A lovely farm shop with a butchers baked goods fresh fruit and veg and frozen stuff…read moreThey sell a massive rang of food from redenberg popcorn which is lovely to Duchy Originals. The sausages and burgers they make their are great and the meat comes from the farm, they also make a great rang of pies and pastys and cakes you can buy via the slice or the whole cake. The coleslaw from the butchers is great and goes really well with the ham cooked on the bone that they do. They do a range of puddings in the fridge and lovely frozen fruit great for pies in the freezer. There buns are fab, the best things are the corned beef slices the country barn pastys and the mars bar slices the lemon drizzle cake is also worth a try The coffee shop is great with plenty of seats there is another level off the level where you get served the food is not too expensive and if you get corned beef slices they come with crisps and salads and sometimes a little chutney The hot chocolate from here is fab It is not far from here to druridge bay and a nice little walk to the ruined chapel

I visited this business on 01/10/24. I purchased a forequarter of beef which had been stripped off…read morethe bone in different cuts. The displayed weight was 55.35kg at £4.89/kg. My assumption was that that was the total weight of the meat I bought. However, when I got home and weighed the meat myself, it was about 35kg! I immediately rang them to report this, and they admitted that the weight displayed was inclusive of the bone! I pointed out to them that this was false advertising, especially as I wasn't given this bone that had been included in the price I paid. They admitted that they could have done better by making it clear that the displayed weight was inclusive of the removed bone. They, however, denied that they owed me any compensation for false advertising. I just want to put this out there for other unsuspecting customers like me!

The cafe / canteen is rough, ready and mainly used by either the local industry, pensioners or…read morecustomers who's prefers low value, cheap heavy loaded, pilled high plates of food rather than on quality. My experience is that you can eat enough yourself for your full family for a very cheap price but towards the end of the serving shift the food is either cold or well withered. The shop has really come on from what it used to be when you could buy limps of meat in packaging that was dripping in blood and it was all a rough and ready experience. Nowadays, they have a fish counter, deli, good value good quality fruit and veg etc but to me the meat is still just meat with no idea of where it is from.

Their shop is a little smaller, but the friendly staff really know their stuff and are happy to help out. Very good with more unusual (these days) cuts like pork knuckles and tripe.

My personal favourite place to buy meat, veggies and bread…read more Big barn type market in the centre of Newcastle. Numerous stalls that offer all types of different services. Numerous award winning butchers that offer prime cuts of meat, fantastic mince and healthy plump chickens and eggs! Wonderful bakery that makes the best breads and pastry I have tried. Wonderful vegetables and fruit stands where you get can a serious deal on great vegetables. Cheapest and most authentic pick and mix selection I have ever seen Fish monger, show repair, tea shop, cafes, clothing and boot sale, cd shops, home repair, clothing alterations ... Even a room with a scale in it! Grainger Market is magical. A must see, I consider the market a tourist attraction because of how traditional it is. The people in the booths all seem very authentic and very helpful.

I was used to markets being places with cheap tat and someone with a thick Black Country accent yelling from a van about sausages, and it's just definitely not like that here. There are still veggies, butchers (and decent cheeses to boot), but there are some seriously talented craftspeople too. It's good for a look around even if you don't feel like buying anyth8ng, odds are you probably will end up doing so.

Although I live about 15 miles from this butcher, I will, once again, place my order for my…read moreChristmas day joint of beef and gladly join the queue on Christmas eve morning, which will undoubtedly be 'snaking' out of the shop and into the street. Last year I left it to within a couple of weeks of Christmas to place my meat order. I was passing through Boldon and saw a queue of people at this typically traditional butchers shop which is on the front street. I pulled over and joined the queue. The lady who served me looked a little bit puzzled when I asked for Chateaubriand for 10 people, but they guy who owns the shop took over taking the order details, confirming that I knew I was placing an order for what is essentially 10 portions of fillet steak. I agreed and offered to leave a deposit but was told to just pay when I collected the meat. Although pricey (as is chateaubriand everywhere) £88, this is the best I've ever had. There wasn't a morsel of waste and the meat is so soft and tender that you barely need to use any pressure to cut into it, once you do, it almost melts in your mouth (my mouth is wateruing at the thought of it!). If you want a good old fashioned butcher with best quality meat look no further, it's definitely worth my 30 mile round trip!!
