I have just been to this butcher and was very surprised and, frankly, shocked. I asked for cooked ham slices which were in the chilled counter. I noticed that the woman serving touched her face before she asked what I wanted. She did not wash her hands before handing the slices of cooked ham. I was taken aback, and asked if she should be wearing gloves? I should have also asked why she didn't use tongs etc. But by this time I was almost speechless. Her reply was that she washes her hands. I'm not sure what the staff member has been taught about food hygiene, but obviously needs retraining. I will not be buying anything from this butcher in future.
Made a special journey to visit this shop. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Deli dept were very well stocked, loads to choose from. Pies/roast pork were so fresh they were still warm. Butchery dept very clean meat looked very good, great selection. Easy to find. Would I go again defo.
Absolutely bloody brilliant. Hot quiche, sausage rolls and scotch eggs are to die for all proper quality, old school, homemade. Fantastic. Outstanding. We love this place.
Lovely traditional butchers with a modern feel to it. Very clean, wide selection of products and also a seating area which was closed when we visited.
