Cousins Butchers are also known for their award-winning steak pies and sausages, which are freshly made in the shop every day. With nearly 100 years' history this shop is loved and respected by the local community.

This is my favourite butchers in Cambridge - I used to live just down the road from the premises…read moreand still regularly make a special trip to stock up on supplies, even though I have moved six miles away! The meat for sale is of the highest quality, most of which is sourced locally, yet surprisingly good value. I can particularly recommend the different varieties of home-made sausage on offer, the steak mince and stewing beef as well as the home cooked ham. They also have a selection of cheeses for sale as well as fresh free-range eggs and a small supply of basic groceries, such as spices, condiments and freshly pressed fruit juices. The butchers who work behind the counter are able to tell you exactly where each cut comes from as well as how best to prepare it! They are always willing to source a special piece for a dinner party, given a few days notice, as well as taking orders for Christmas roasts.

Also as Burns night was round the corner found out they were making their own haggis- picked 4 x 1lb puddings up for my husband and son which they said was the best they've ever had. Will be walking here every Saturday from now on!

They have some super homecure ham and lovely smoked bacon. The fruit and veg is fresh and wide ranging and sourced locally in many cases.

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.

A butcher right across the street from Smithfield Meat Market - which is the largest in the UK and…read moreone of the largest in Europe - not sure if I need to say much more? The butchers are very friendly, know their stuff and seem to like questions and recommendation requests. These chaps do trade/industry customers, but the store front is based on the busy walk up business by regular customers like you and me. You get a far shorter supply chain without the mass processing centres (and what can go along with that), and the meat sold here is handpicked by an expert butcher and cut in-store which delivers superior quality meat. They have a large selection of meats, and not all of it is on display, so ask if you don't see it. As you can imagine, cutting out several 'middle-men' also means all those saved margins are passed onto you. They also do sell small portions, if you want a skirt of beef, or two t-bone steaks, a single medium chicken, etc. But I've always bought in bulk (2-5kg), then divided it into single meal portions and then into the freezer, and suggest this for maximum savings and minimal trips to Smithfield Butchers. For example, large, good quality skinless, boneless chicken breasts here cost about the same as the basic brands of big name grocers which are small, pumped full of water and inferior quality. The 'steak meats' (e.g. rib eye, fillets, sirloin) are about half the price of big name grocers, and since you're buying a 1-4kg slab, you can cut your steak as thick as you want! Some of the best steaks I've had came from Smithfield Butchers, and the best Christmas Turkey ever! If you can make it to Smithfield Meat Market, this one is a no-brainer.
