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.

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

For a keen cook, a relationship with a good local butcher is worth its weight in gold. I think the…read morerecent horse meat scandal in the UK is a sharp reminder that if the ultimate principle guiding your food purchase is price, then you generally get what you pay for I do have a Chinese Thrift Gene but perhaps, I should qualify it by saying that it's really a Value for Money Gene. Good quality is definitely worth paying for William Dyer is my local butcher, where Robert and his staff prove their weight in gold! Firstly, their meat is top class and they are happy to prepare and cut any of the eat to specification. The meat is aged appropriately. Last week, I cooked some superb fillet steaks from here for a dinner party and my knowledgeable foodie guests were eulogising about the meat Robert is also a wealth of knowledge about meat and how to cook it. If you tell him what you want to do with the meat, he can recommend the exact cut that you need. He's very helpful in keeping me marrow bones and carcasses to make stock Every keen cook deserves a Willam Dyer

A very friendly family-run business (I think this is the 6th generation, and the proprietor's son…read moredoes actually work here), this butcher is the kind of place people need to visit more to remind themselves what they don't get when they buy meat at a supermarket. The only reason this doesn't get a full 5-star review is because they're not as adventurous in their offerings as an independent butcher could be (e.g. there's no jelly in their home-made pork pies, they don't supply giblets with their chicken, no mutton is available). Yes, they're following the wishes of the clientele, but I also wish they would do more to educate their customers, because I think there's a lot of trust in them from their loyal customer base.
