Never had an issue with what I have gotten from the butcher. I've asked for cheaper cuts, expensive…read morecuts, offal (Organ meat) and exotic meat. What isn't in stock is ordered for me and at a very reasonable price. I have developed a good business/customer relationship with the staff there, and have enjoyed everything I have purchased. I rarely buy meat from a supermarket now.

Having used supermarkets for all my meat needs for the previous 35 years, in early January 2017 I…read morereally had a yearning for some Rabbit, when the big 5 supermarkets could not help I looked for a local butcher in the slim hope that a propper butcher might supply my needs, I did a quick Google and low and behold, D&I were less than 2 miles from my house so off I trotted, well I was more than surprised and pleased beyond words, they had Rabbit IN-STOCK, I duely brought 2, cooked (they were already FULLY prepaired) and ate them, they were excellent, this encouraged me to return and now D&I have ALL my meat business, I am a BIG meat eater and they cater to my needs 101%, the meat is 2nd to none - cut to my requirements (I like lamb and pork chops about 35mm thick !) - FRESH & OHH SO TASTY and generally no more expensive then supermarkets - D&I have truely reinvigorated by love of meat ! For service, price, quality and taste DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE (PS Farmhouse Sausages are to die for !)

If only there were more places like this. Your truely classic family butch. Does a large selection…read moreof meats, if something isn't instock it can be ordered in. 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.

Meat Like It Used to Be is a great neighbourhood butcher, filled with knowledgable staff and great…read morequality meat. They have award-winning sausages made on site, and also cure their own bacon, and make up their own beef burgers. There's a variety of stuffed or marinated meat, good for the bbq in the summer or for roasting in the winter. They make sausage rolls and pasties, and it's pretty hard to resist when you walk by and smell that baking! They were happy to give me bones for a dog for no charge. Anything you want, they'll get in for you. There's a small selection of produce and chutneys, and some meat bagged up for the freezer. Oh, and there's cheese and ham, too. I may just start sleeping on the floor. And if you go in and say what you're making, they'll give you the right cut of meat and the right size, and then tell you how long to cook it. I think one of these days, they'll just follow me home and cook it up for me. The downside? It's expensive. But you're paying for quality and expertise, which you just don't get at a supermarket. They're open seven days a week, too.

More like butchers like they used to be - knowledgable, friendly and happy to do any meat…read morepreparation for you. I went in last night and there was one person already being served - the butcher had tenderised a piece of beef to order and was in the process of cutting it into strips for her. But that didn't mean I had to wait, as he called his colleague out from the back who was happy to assist. I was very pleased with both the service and the quality of the steaks I purchased. I'm a semi-regular here, although I tend to shop here more in the summer when buying for barbecues etc as they have a good range. They also make their own sausages - the pinner porker is great, and they even make pies, pasties and scotch eggs.
