Everything you expect from that most rare of things, a surviving and profitable village butchers…read more Although the premises is small and slightly dated it perhaps fits well into a village as it is. If you want the same friendly service and high quality produce within a larger more modern setting you can always frequent the Gary Smith's in Wallingford.

Three years ago I moved here from Chelsea in London, and was delighted to find Benson Butchers…read moreprovided meat good as that I had been used to. Their ham is excellent, they can provide 'French cuts' and their Chicken Supremes are superb. On top of that they deliver, so I am one very happy customer.

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.

It you want a good old-fashioned butchers then Turners is where you should come…read more Queues outside on a Saturday morning speak volumes. It's a tiny shop but the butchers offer excellent advice and sell great quality produce. As far as possible meat is locally sourced and the home-made sausages are something else! There's a lot of choice for such a small outlet and, if they haven't got what you want then they can either cut it or order it in. Turner's have a full game license and, in season, stock a good range of locally sourced game. Local produce is also stocked from preserves through veg. Customers are valued and treated as important no matter what you are buying. Prices are fair and the quality is outstanding! Recommended

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.

FAR less expensive than Ginger Pig, seems clean, the meat is the right colour, doesn't smell, and has a friendly, knowledgable butcher. This seems like the kind of place where one could call up with a special request and, given ample time, they could find it for you (though I have yet to actually test this). Though it is a small shop (perhaps call ahead if you need something rare), it is fairly comprehensive, affordable, and a VERY welcome alternative to Tesco.
