    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?

    Walking between charity shops in this fine city, I spotted a small arcade that I'd not seen before…read more My reward for being super-aware this time round was to find that there's an independent cheese shop nestled in there. They've actually got Snowdonia Cheese Company Amber Mist! Whenever SCC cheeses are sold there's usually plenty of their Black Bomber, but I find Amber Mist is quite hard to get hold of. It's the best Whisky cheese, in my opinion. (And that's including anything available at Farmer's Markets in Scotland...) So I'm having a truckle of that, and I'm committed to being disciplined enough to save it for Christmas. What else? After I've had short rave, the owner can see that I'm quite keen on the yellow stuff, so she offers me a sample of Harlech. Just when you think you've tasted and seen all the cheese in Europe, there are still surprises left. This is cheddar with horseradish and parsley. Cheese AND condiment. My two favourite foods in one make me buy a few hundred grams of this. It's going to be perfect on top of a veggie pattie to make a piquant burger. Next up is Worcerster Hop. I've had Hereford Hop before, so I'll trust that Elgar County's version is similarly tasty. Always a good match for a US India Pale Ale. The last two didn't last long, though the Amber Mist is sat in a scared space in the fridge. I'll be back at Cheese to Please to stock up for Christmas. Independent with a charming owner, here you'll find tasty delights beyond the usual supermarket fare. Discover a world beyond Wensleydale and Cranberry this Christmas. (Though they had that in too when I went.)
