Hands down the most phenomenal butcher shop in the area. Well, it may be the only one in the area…read moreunless you head east for several miles then you may come across a local butcher shop in the Manchester area. On 6/10/23, they held an open house to showcase their meats and options available to the general public. They are a butcher shop specializing in cow, pig, lamb and chicken, but they offer many other things in their freezers. The place is small, so go early when they open as you'll get first pick of the freshest meat in the refrigerator on the right side. Those are meats that were cut within the last 24 hours, vacuum sealed and placed directly into the fridge. Next to that fridge is their selection of beer jerky. Next to the meat fridge is also one containing pasta salads, homemade cretons and other sides you would typically add to your BBQ. On the left side is where you'll find the majority of their products in the freezer section. You can get anything from pork belly, bacon, fried clam strips, fish, chicken, lamb, chicken hearts, ribeyes, ground sirloin and SO much more. I didn't even scratch the surface with that list. My wife and I purchased a 1.5lb sirloin steak, 1lb of fresh lobster meat, a pound of bacon, one 0.94lb ribeye steak, a decent size ham steak, and fried clam strips (frozen). Price wise I feel they are very competitive, if not better, than local grocery stores who cut their meats on site or get them pre-cut and delivered. The quality of the sirloin was incredible. I cooked it to a perfect medium and the fat around the edges melted like butter and it was one of the most tender piece of meats my wife has ever had. Her words, not mine. She is a tough one to impress when it comes so steaks. Sorry to those local corporate grocery stores and Walmart because we are getting all our meats from here on out at Castonguay meats. The original owner and creator was on hand during the open house to welcome us. I am willing to travel to this place just to get my meats moving forward for all future BBQs.

It feels a little weird for me to write a 5 star review for a meat shop as a vegetarian, but I…read moresuppose stranger things have happened. For the record, I'm a regular patron of Weston's because I shop there for my wife. There are many things to love about this small local shop. They are one of the few places near us that sell Boar's Head deli products. Also, my wife is a big fan of the regular, spicy and sweet ground sausage they stock. The people who work there are kind and super helpful. They taught me the difference between Wisconsin and Vermont cheddar (creamy vs. sharp). They have a fantastic wine and beer selection, and some interesting hard ciders as well. The clerk I spoke to was an encyclopedia of beer knowledge, plus he didn't tease me for being the only resident of Maine who hates IPAs. I'm disappointed that someone felt compelled to write a 1 star review for this small, local shop because they had a disappointing mincemeat pie. As a regular shopper of Weston's who has interacted with everyone who works there, I would be surprised if they deliberately mislead someone about a product. It's a shame they refuse to come back because in addition to everything else I mentioned, Weston's also offers a great customer loyalty program.

Grabbed some meat from the meat counter, some Chop Suey from the cold case, and an ice cream. This little store has a LOT jammed into it. A small grocery store with, a bunch of fun random surprises. One of the biggest surprises was their beer cave. So many local craft brews featured here! So much fun! The gentleman at the meat counter, and the cashier who rung us up were both friendly and helpful. I also think they thought my Mother and I were insane because we were like "wow! Look at this!" At every thing. It's almost like we never get out. Hahahah but it's quite the opposite, we are ALWAYS traveling around checking out specially stores, corner stores, general stores, tiny mom and pop stores. We love it!
