Top quality products and excellent service in a lovely setting. Staff were very knowledgeable and happy to help and the food is delicious.
Great value organic meat and lots of well chosen condiments and desserts.
We always consider these to produce the best sausage we've had, the regular (plain) pork sausage are just unbeatable. Whatever you do please don't change it. Today we decided to have some rump steaks and by god were they worth it, possibly the most tender and most flavour we have ever had in a rump steak. If anyone says they aren't up to standard they obviously can't cook a great steak. You know it's going to be a good steak when the butcher cuts through it like butter and it doesn't have that bright red colour. Well done all.
Been going for 4 weeks now and tried bacon, sausage, rump steak, braising steak, lamb, beef burgers and a beef joint....found so called rump tasteless and tough and won't buy steak again from here again and will only buy braising steak if any beef again. Very disappointed as all stuff wrapped in plastic and not as expected for a so called "high quality/organic butcher's " with high prices. Was looking for "high quality grass feed butcher's " but unfortunately this isn't it. Continue my search for quality beef.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Organic beef and lamb from field to farm shop! I rang ahead to a very knowledgeable butcher (trust me, being vegetarian for most of the year I cannot tell you how many butchers don't know where their meat comes from or the processes by which they have been reared, slaughtered and cut). The man remembered my name and actually up-sold me a couple more things, which I was very happy to do to support their local trade. Price point is excellent I would say for the meat, more expensive for the farm shop items. Looking at price per KG comparing to Tesco for non-organic the lamb shank I just bought was a close matched price. I WILL be returning. And I might even treat myself to meat more often. I was eyeing up one of the cows in their field on the way home.
