Then get your carnivorous little bottoms along to the savoy centre and get ready to find one of the best non fancy butchers in Glasgow...i shit thee not. Aye, its a bit freaky inside the savoy centre with its swarms of grannys, pishy stores and dodgy blokes.....if you've ever used the toilets in here you'll know what i'm talking about...., however this place is real quality. Selling the usual array of meats, cooked and raw, and with excellent deals on regularly, this is one fantastic place hidden away on Sauchiehall street. Get your bum here. Buy some Italian links (they're huge and tasty, and get ready to enjoy great meat at kick ass prices....

In the past I had never seen it in their display but came on the of chance, I asked the server if there was any, and I was in luck there was a stock pile in the fridge. Not sure why a butchers shop would stock an item then not place it on display, very odd indeed. There is a good selection here, from steak pie's to eggs, definitely a place to visit.

I've just moved here and as an avid cook I wanted to befriend a good local butcher…read more Well, these guys didn't disappoint. From having a 5 min healthy discussion on preferences of wing-tip sirloin and ribs of beef I was given a sneeky peep round the back. These guys provide the beef for the best steak places in Glasgow. I'd eaten at one of them earlier in the week and my eyes were bulging at the trays of chateaubriands and rib in sirloins. So, as you'd expect, their meat is very well sourced and as good as you're going to get anywhere. I took a1kg 1rib Angus and pan roasted it in butter and wilted rosemary to get a good sear, then a quick 15 mins in the oven. I had it sat on some roasted beetroot puree with a port, wine and fresh beef stock reduction and the beef was some of the best I've ever eaten. Superb quality and ageing. Week after I wanted a lamb rump as I had the hunger for some dauphinoise. They were happy just to prep some up straight away, no fuss. The lamb was delicious........as was the dauph ;) ........and the sausages. Get the Italian fennel ones and slow cook cook them in your tomato sauce for pasta. Very, very impressive. Prices are as you'd expect for meat of this quality. Look on the window for weekly £10 deals. Steak and chicken. Well worth it.

First to review? What is going on, Glasgow Yelpers?…read more This JOINT rests unassumingly on Byres Road and claims to be purveyors of fine meats. They are indeed. Walk by often enough, but was compelled to go in today noticing the £10 offer which includes 2 sirloin steaks, 2 pork loins, 4 steak lorne sausages and 4 pork sausages. And if that doesn't make you want to go as well, you're either a vegetarian, or just plain ole crazy (yes, those are different). Nice decor, welcoming, with a good layout and professional staff. Excellent selection of all sorts, including lamb burgers that are absolutely getting destroyed next visit. Delighted with my purchase today and will return. Enough said.

They throw in nice touches like free fresh gravy with the beef olives etc, and are always happy to give you a wee bone away for the dog.

The Continental Market in Glasgow is a funny one, it seems to be almost exactly the same stalls…read morethat visit during the not-especially-German Christmas market. Nevertheless, I always enjoy wandering around a good selection of market stalls and you'll certainly find that on Sauchiehall Street whenever the Market comes to visit. Both the variety and the quantity of stalls here is pretty good - many of the more popular stalls are duplicated at each end of the market to cater for the high numbers of customers they expect. Probably about two thirds of the stalls available sell food; everything from traditional sweeties to churros and bratwurst to jerk chicken can be found. There's hot curry, Greek Souvlaki, Paella and stews, as well as cheeses, cured meats, jams, pickles, spices bread, pastries and cakes to take home. A bit of everything, really. The other stalls sell gifts, plants and jewellery. There's plenty of small businesses selling things like home made soaps and candles and you can expect scarves and accessories available too. My main reason to visit is usually to find something a bit different for lunch, but it's not rare that I end up picking up some interesting bread and a gift or two as well. I always take the time to visit when the market is here, I just wish that we had more like this in Glasgow.

During my last visit on Saturday i stopped at the Italian stand (of course!) - the guys were really friendly and chatty, they got me to taste few pastries (almond pastry was sooo good) and few kind of cheese, and at the end i got a slice of Pecorino Romano and a slice of Toma Piemontese. I have to admit price was really expensive (£13!) but where else can you find original Italian cheese over here, and most of all, at cheap prices? Nowhere! So it was a good purchase, but will save them for as long as i can LOL!

It's a kind of neddy place, where all the women look you up and down and think you're posh just because you say "please" and "thank you". I got 2 chicken breasts in here, but they cost me £4.31!! To be fair, they were of Jordan-esque proportions, but that's still a lot of money. When I got them home and started preparing them, they smelled a bit....funny. We cooked them well and ate them anyhow and they were fine. It's just annoying how a place can be so neddy yet so expensive.

The staff are very knowledgeable but they are very east end as someone else said. I find most of the traditional places on duke street & down into parkhead like that so it doesn't bother me. I find it reasonably priced because the quality is good.

Campbell Butchers appear to be plodding away and retaining its strong local ties and customers with good special offers , quality produce (free range eggs and such), and a friendly expert approach which is missing entirely from its big brother down the road. Rant alert: Supermarkets don't have butchers, they have meat choppers, despite what their sickly sweet adverts would have us believe....oh and just out of interest, has anyone else lost all respect for that Richard Hammond bloke after those boke-worthy (thanks Adele; see Stereo review) Morrison's adverts, crash or no crash your still a mozzer hussy!!!

Sainsbury's on Buchanan is one of the largest Sainsbury's Local stores, I've come across, located…read moreby the Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow city centre, it's a great central supermarket for most of what you need. I was impressed by the selection in the store, with a good selection of cooked meats and dairy products including milk and cheese, tending to go beyond the usual Sainsbury's Local offering. The store is open daily until 10 pm, which is an hour earlier than most Sainsbury's Local stores in England from Monday to Saturday, as of course England is restricted by Sunday Trading laws. I wasn't a fan of the checkout area, it seemed too big and a little confusing, but the Sainsbury's Smartshop app is handy to skip the checkout as you simply scan items as you walk around the store, pay on your phone and head out. The staff weren't overly friendly or helpful, but still, it's probably the best place for groceries in Glasgow city centre in a prime central location within the city.

I like this supermarket which is conveniently located next to Buchannan St underground, and I've…read morebeen using it a lot more since my local Somerfield on Byres Road died and went to heaven (or perhaps hell, the store wasn't particularly good). For a city supermarket this has everything you need for that pop-in shop on your way home from work. There's a kiosk section with the usual magazines and tobacco products, as well as fridges full of lunch-time snacks. There's a decent bakery section, good fruit and veg, lots of easy-make dinner options and a good selection of booze for when you've had a particularly long day. Granted, Sainsbury's isn't the best value of the supermarket giants, but the bakery has discounts at the end of the day and it has a lot of its own-brand cereals, frozen foods and soups etc which are significantly cheaper than the big brand names. I usually pop in during the after work rush hour, but the long queues quickly disappear and you never have to wait very long for the self-service check-outs.

I'm not a huge meat-eater but my boyfriend tells me there is no other word to describe Lupton's steak pie except "spectacular" and rumours persist that a young couple from Denmark came all the way to Glasgow just to try it. Everything about this shop harks back to a time before faceless multinationals began dominating the food market with unsatisfied employees on minimum wage serving food prepared without care or affection. A refreshing alternative.
