Several of my friends on Qype are vegetarians. Nothing wrong with that. But if you,re a veggie,…read morelook away now! Jesse Smith is a family butcher which prides itself on traditional values. They have grown to have 5 outlets based on the Cotswolds: Tetbury, Cirencester, Burford, Northleach and this one in Marlborough. Every town ought to have a butchers like this one. They say their aim is to excel in traditionally reared meat, supporting an environmental and friendly way of farming that prioritises animal welfare. They buy meat from farmers who won't use growth hormones and avoid chemicals. For example, they buy their pork from Plantation Pigs of Shackleford, Surrey, who say: our pigs live outside in fields..bathe in mud, and in winter they have plenty of dry straw to keep warm and healthy: superior meat from pigs with superior lifestyles. They also produce their own pies and sausages, both of which are consistent award-winning products. The young butchers behind the counter at Smith's are courteous and very knowledgeable. They will pass the time of day chatting to you about their meat. They know its provenance, and how long it's been hung. They can suggest how you cook it. I've never had a bad buy from Smith's and always drop in when driving through Marlborough. I strongly recommend it. It is just like stepping back in time.

Whether you are looking for breakfast (serving sausage and bacon baps on the day we were there), groceries (large selection of local meats and vegetables), local cider / beer / spirits or even gifts, this is the place for you.

Also, they also sell flowers, plants and children's wetsuits (of course)!

Highly recommended. Good selection and quality at a great price. Very friendly and welcoming too.read more

That said, even if you live on the other side of Basingstoke, you should make the time to visit these guys. They always have interesting meal ideas (the lamb swirls are amazing!) and will always take the time to give advice. The quality of the produce is simply superb. I got fed up with the rubbish service that you get from the big supermarkets, so thought I'd try and support more local businesses. What a great plan that turned out to be. If you've only ever bought meat from a supermarket (like I had), then you don't know what you're missing. :-) I've ordered my Christmas turkey already and they're going to bone it and stuff it for me. Nice. Thoroughly recommended.

M J Dalton Butchers has the appearance of a traditional butcher all the way down to the sawdust on…read morethe floor. It's clean and friendly and does a sideline in condiments and conserves. But what it's most famous for is the selection of exotic meats that are flown in from South Africa. These include crocodile, springbok, wildebeest and zebra. It's clear that they are aiming for the speciality niche in the Bristol market, as they also offer quite a selection of eggs, with pretty speckled quail eggs in a basket on the counter. Then there's things like chitterling and homemade faggots listed on one of the several sandwich boards outside, and don't forget the pork and beef dripping, white and black pudding and tripe! But the best item, to my mind, is the 'handraised pork pies'! Someone please tell me how you had rear a pork pie! Joking aside, this butchers is great. I tend to go for the more conventional cuts of meat (and by their own admission most other people do too - they say they stock things like crocodile and zebra for the novelty value so that people can try it once). I also like a bit of black pudding every now and then, and it's good to know that there's a butchers with an exhaustive selection of stock in Bristol, so that I can guarantee that I will always get what I want.

The sheer selection in this old school butchers shop is second to none. Prime cuts of beef, pork and chicken are supplied to local schools, nursing homes and restaurants as well as the hungry locals. Pigeon, pheasant, partridge and venison are some of my other favourites gracing the menu board alongside veal and rabbit. They don't just buy the stuff in and knock it back out, but they live it. They know it. Behind the scenes are some of the cleanest most professional kitchens I have ever seen, where they make all their delights fresh and on the day - just try their 4oz lamb and mint burgers for a mere 50p! With ostrich, camel and crocodile meat as well as quail eggs being standard runners - you simply can't walk past this well stacked, well planned shop.

Pino's has a really authentic, rustic appeal, but its the food that you should go for, the menu doesnt change but offers a good range of pasta, pizza, meat, fish or vegetarian dishes. Lasagne is our favourite, you can have it as a main or a starter, its the best lasagne i have ever tasted! Its a great venue for a party, but book first if its the weekend as they do get busy. The restaurant is not fussy, but simple and comfortable, in the bar you can see the hooks on the ceiling where it was once the local butchers, its situated just off the high street with parking nearby in the Parade or on the high street itself.
