Still a five-star joint and just getting better. This year the butcher's stock was even more…read moreamazing, and not just the meats. Don't tell anyone, but I fell off the veg wagon *hard core* during our stay in Bala this year. I couldn't resist, and I was soooo glad I didn't. This year's meaty samplings included whole, marinated chicken; beef kebabs; pork tenderloin; jumbo tiger shrimp; sea scallops; beef burgers; lamb sliders; and prime beef steaks. The quality of meat here is blow-your-mind amazing, and most of it is cut, filleted, or ground right before your eyes. You can pre-order rarer meats, too, like bison, duck, elk, and rabbit. Also available are a selection of amazingly delicious cheeses including real smoked cheddar and black truffled goat. As well as gourmet crackers, chips, dips, and spreads. Not to mention tidbits like addictive Milford Bay smoked trout, brie wheels, charcuterie, and homemade frozen cookie dough to take back to the cottage. Insane. Staff is wonderfully friendly, a local family who loves what they do -- we visited nearly every day for 9 days, and they always recognized us, chatted with us a few minutes, and thanked us profusely for our business (I think we're putting the youngest through uni). And they're still trolling the lakes on their adorable pontoon boat, delivering your orders or stopping by your dock if you flag them down to let you browse that day's selection. This place has to be, without a doubt, one of the best butcher shops and gourmets on the planet, let alone Bala.

I made an effort to come back in store to check out what they had to offer inside! It's filled with fresh pastries baked in house, lots of local goodies/ brands and a small selection of fresh produce. I came in the winter so could also attribute to the small selection of produce that day. You can even find local meats in their large fridge/ freezer section. I came to buy some local honey which I found at a reasonable price. Everyone that came into the store seemed like they were regulars around the area. I'd come back for more stuff in the future if I'm in the area. Love supporting local and love having local products in my grocery hauls.

With every taste, I couldn't pass anything up! I love the flavors of everything I purchased. These products are all excellent top quality made and packaged. The flavors are all creamy, smooth and burst with amazing taste! I bought some to give as gifts as you won't find many of these flavors anywhere in the world!! This is one of those shops you never forget and will return to every visit to stock up! Thank you Muhammad for your generosity and sharing with me your unique halwa's!

They also have different confectionery offerings. The lady who was helping us said that they sell platters of these confectionery for parties and events. If you are a nut butter fan this place is an absolute treat and a must place to visit. They make it fresh on site! I am a coffee junkie and I saw that they also roast their coffee beans on site. I bought a pound of their arabica beans. As much as I love a light roast coffee, this was not my fave unfortunately 6/10 in my books. But, other than the coffee, this place is definitely a good store to visit if you love nuts and nut butter.
