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 was difficult to make a decision among overwhemlming choices of sausages. I saw the smoked ham on the list and they brought one out for me. I decided to purchase it, the price was reasonable of about $45.00. I also tried the Pastromi flavored sausage which was slightly spicy and very tasty, a smoked beef rib eye steak, the maple and tarragon kielbasa and the candy ginger sausage which she said is "a good one". Also some maple bacon.I am looking forward to trying all of these treats and going back for more!

Not only did she find the cut of pork butt I was looking for she cut it to the weight that I ideally wanted! I loved butcher shops - this is the classic service I grew up with. It's not a huge location, however, they have so many great products in this store. Everything is organized, clean and well labeled. The other product I was looking for was locally made "The Good Crust" pizza crust mix and they had it!! I bought two boxes. At the register they had locally grown bagged potatoes, so I grabbed a bag to have with our roast pork. When I am in the area, I will definitely stop by again. Don't drive past this place without checking it out!
