Best and tastiest chickens we’ve ever had from Edge & Son. Also love that they can tell you where exactly the produce is from. Top quality butchers and such friendly staff.
A local source of free range, organic meat. Helpful staff.
The former Boysenberry Deli' next door has now opened as part of Edge. They're selling a range of savoury and sweet baked goods including pies, sausage rolls and scotch eggs ( with black pudding in nom, nom!!) The lamb and rosemary pie is lovely; great pastry with a tasty, quality filling. Lots of other pies too. Check the opening hours but definitely open Friday and Saturday ( to start with) If ever there was a welcome addition to the rebirth of New Ferry this is it. Great team behind it. Go get a pie!!!! Sadly now closed but relocated next door albeit slightly more modest offer. Still good pies though.
They lie about the products they sell, they buy in ribeye and fillet steaks from liffey meats ( same who supply Lidl ) and charge you a premium price and tell you it’s a rare breed. This is a big lie. Will no longer be spending my money here.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Really wanted to support local so went for chicken breast and mince! Totally shocked by the price! £32 for 6 chicken breasts and 500g mince! The chicken gave off a lot of water and the mince was quite fatty. Unfortunately won’t return.
Bought ribeye twice now and both were very disappointing — extremely poor marbling and tough even when cooked correctly. For the price, I expected much better quality. Supermarket ribeyes I’ve had recently were noticeably better. Won’t be returning.
Drove half an hour at Christmas to buy braising steak from this highly regarded butcher. The stuff they sold me was disgusting - almost all gristle. I cooked it for hours but had to discard it and rush out on Christmas Eve to buy replacement meat from Tesco. I was offered a refund and a chance to try their meat again by email from Debbie Edge but when I went back to the shop, (another hour long round trip drive, ) I was told that "we usually either refund or replace but not both". Interesting that they have to do this on such a regular basis that they have a policy in place! I got my money back but had a lot of hassle and didn't appreciate the unfriendly reception from Callum Edge that made me feel that it was my fault for complaining. Not the sort of service you expect from a former butcher of the year and, in my opinion, a butcher to be avoided 😠
