What a splendid shop Steadman's is - like a butcher's should be. They have won awards for their sausages which come in a number of varieties, including some quite unusual ones such as the Summer Sizzler (which has chilli in it)!
The interior of the shop is very neatly laid out with clear labelling - which makes me feel less awkward that I don't know what a lot of the items actually are (those fancy cuts of meat with paper 'hats' on ?) although I know I should ask. Some of the products are very local - bacon and lamb from the surrounding valleys for example - and are delicious.
Service is always efficient if not exactly cheery. My top recommendation is the black pudding - I haven't had one better. read more
