I'm moving away from Green Lanes next month and the thing I'm most sad about leaving is Baldwins…read more I've never had a good local butcher before and it's been such a treat to have this one on the doorstep. They're incredibly well stocked and knowledgable with produce from all corners of the world. They're not poncey or crazily overpriced (I'm talking about you Meat N16). They're welcoming and encouraging and they've inspired me to try cooking all sorts of bigger cuts of meat as well as answering all my novice questions. We've made rabbit ragu with meat from Baldwins as well as squab pigeon with cherry sauce, herb crusted lamb, Sunday beef joints, lamb shoulder rogan josh, duck liver pate, turkey mole (with a whole jointed turkey which served an entire Mexican Christmas party) and baby back ribs to serve 7. We had to buy an especially big pan for those. They also sell cheap organic free range eggs, award winning manchego cheese, loads of delicious looking Parma hams and chorizo as well as good store cupboard essentials (the tomato purée in the red tin with the swan on is lovely) and special treats like panettone. Thanks Baldwins! It's been an education and a joy.

Unless you want everything in Britain to be managed by Tesco and Starbucks, it's important to…read moresupport locally owned shops. Especially when it comes to special arts like butchery, fish mongering or baking. This is a store where it only requires a few minutes to know you are in good hands. It's family owned and operated, with a couple of generations running behind the scens (and in front). While the shop overlooks a very hip weekend market, it's not a place you'll head for exotic game. Rather, they stick to basics: beef, lamb, chicken and pork in things like roasts, ribs and steaks. I don't think they have virginal partridge stuffed with dates, or free range alligator smoked over cedar, or a virgin stuffed with alligator on her first date. But if you want lamb chops, he'll offer 4 big ones for 5 quid total. Think about it. That's real food for 2-3 people for cheaper than a slice or two of bad pizza. Or a burger meal for one just about anywhere. It'll be a sad world if we end up with 400 types of coffee and only 3 cuts of pork.

Located on the quaint strip of Broadway Market in East London, this butcher is definitely a…read morecontrast to some of the other shops on the strip. I guess it is obvious that a butcher is not going to have much in common with a boutique fabric shop though. Anyway, this place provides locals, and weekend visitors, with a good selection of meats. It is a funny little store, and definitely has a real slightly 'rough around the edges' East London feel. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I think it gives it character. My friend orders a certain type of chicken from there every now and then. At first she was a little scared of the staff, but after a while, she realised that they are really nice people. I guess proper East Londoners can be a bit intimidating, but you have to take it with a pinch of salt.

But you DO find such places, because that's exactly what it is, currently run by third-generation Chris, Mark and Vince. The meat and poultry are always great quality, the pies and sausages excellent. Prices are miniscule compared to what you'd pay up the road at Borough Market on my last shop four huge chicken supremes, a pound of steak mince, half a dozen eggs, two chunky Barnsley chops, 8 merguez and 12 big fat porky bastard sausages came in at under £20.00. Best of all, the guys are massively friendly and helpful, and not only remember your name from one visit to another but what you bought and what you cooked with it. I'd give them 5 stars if there was more organic produce on offer. To have such a great shop within walking distance is a real treat. No more overpriced sub-standard Sainsbury's rubbish for me!

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.
