Fawcetts is a great butcher. They have various branches in the North East. Unlike a lot of…read moresupermarkets that sell bad quality cuts of prepacked meat, Fawcetts sell top quality stuff! I believe the business has recently been taken over by new owners, however, I find they still sell prime cut products. Their chicken breast fillets are a steal - I think they're about £1.29 each but they are the best I have tasted! They also do a lot of diced meat which is great for casseroles, curries, etc etc. You may pay slightly more for your meat from this butcher, but the difference in quality is clear from the tasting!
