It is very swish, with sliding doors, marble floors and big screen TVs behind the counters. Don't worry though; the staff are true Cradley Heathens - warm, friendly and down to earth. They jokingly tease me for being "a bit posh for around here", which is quite the compliment for a girl from Coseley. The fresh and locally reared meat is excellent quality, I'm a big fan of their smoked streaky bacon. They will happily order in more obscure cuts if you ask in advance. The best thing about Scriven and Thornton's has to be the deli counter. It is piled high with all sorts of cooked meats, pies, cheeses and Scotch eggs. They also serve the most incredible hot pork sandwiches - complete with crackling, applesauce and bread dipped in gravy. Understandably, the queue gets big at lunchtimes.

On weekends the queue can snake around the small customer area of the shop, which tells you about it's local popularity and the quality of the service. The meat is usually of a high quality and there are often some interesting seasonal offerings in the window display to tempt you off the high street - their pre-prepared BBQ meats being a good seller. Prices are reasonable and the service is exactly what you'd expect from a long-established local butcher. Good stuff!

The butcher's selection in Birmingham keeps getting better and now I have found Yew Tree butchers,…read moreI will never again find it hard to buy quality meat. I was most surprised by the selection of roasting joints they have on offer here. I bought a large side of beef for a Sunday roast and some pork scratchings for the journey home. The pork scratchings were delicious and everyone enjoyed the beef on the day I cooked it. If there is a piece of meat there that is too big for your occasion then they will cut it down to a more ample size for you, no questions asked. I would be happy to come back here again because the quality of the meat is so good. I'm fed up with pre wrapped meats in supermarkets so I need a good selection of butchers close to my home. This one has ticked all the boxes.

Most of the meat is prepared on the premises and they even make their own sausages from time to time. Their beef and lamb mince is always of a really high quality, as you will see when you cook it and hardly any fat is created. Their best product, though, is their bacon, which is thick and very, very tasty. They also carry a selection of pies and pasties, smoked cheeses, plus sauces and condiments for cooking meat. In the summer they do an excellent range of meats for use on the BBQ. At Christmas and Easter time the queue is often out the door, and the shop is often busy on Saturday mornings, which should tell you that this is a place much admired by the locals round these parts. This is well worth a visit.

Before I start this review I should let you know that I know squat about butchers. However, if I've…read morelearned one thing over the years from various trips with my dad, it's that a good butcher has to be friendly; in fact they have to be positively jolly. That is certainly the case at G.A Lockhart where the staff provide such great interaction with the customers that it seems like something from the distant past, when high streets weren't clogged up with a thousand stores each an exact replica of the last. This is the butcher whom my family have used for years and I can confirm that every Sunday a piece of Lockhart meat has graced our table and satisfied a demanding family of brummies. I don't really know the price of meats etc, I mean as a student the closest thing I usually get to meat is a late night kebab, but Lockhart certainly seems reasonable and they provide good produce. A refreshingly friendly establishment with some delicious British meat on offer.

I refuse to put the latter into my body on health and moral grounds. I really like this butchers. It has an old fashioned feel to it, a time warp from the 1950's. The butcher's are very helpful with any questions you may have about where the meat has come from and what is the best way to cook it. I asked him yesterday how to get the crackle crispy on belly draft and he told me that he will score it for me and told me to pour boiling water over the skin before cooking. This will ensure that I get a nice crispy piece of crackling to go with my pork dinner. They sell lots of ready cut and marinated meats that are great for mid week meals. They stock the finest steak or venison for a dinner party. They also offer a wide selection of game birds and will prepare anything you request. I would seriously recommend buying your meat from here and not from the major chain supermarkets. It is healthier and a more humane way of sustaining a diet that contains meat.

At Christmas they stock good sized fresh turkeys, and at Winter-time there are whole pheasants, heads, bright plumage and all, hanging from the canopy outside. As I write, it is Spring and the sun is having a go at shining. So I return home with seasonally apt fodder in the form of free-range Spring loin lamb chops for a one-man barbeque.
