Thanks to Runcible's review, I went here yesterday and bought two juicy 10oz sirloins for £11.

Definitely worth a visit every now and again, prices pretty reasonable too. One bit of feedback I would give the owners would be to make it as clear as possible what items in the shop were produced on the farm as it was a bit ambiguous as to what was local and what was imported.

Most of the supermarkets tell you they have 'real butchers' and the 'freshest meat' but it's only…read morewhen you buy from an independent like Deans that you really understand what those terms mean. I make no apologies for being a big meat fan and knowing that I have such a good butcher locally is wonderful news. I find that the prices are competitive too. This shop, and others like it, survive on good old fashioned values and honesty. If they were going to sell you horse, they would tell you and advise you on the best cut and the best way to cook it.

Award winning cheese emporium, quality butcher, appealing cafe......I really don't know where to…read morestart, should I begin by raving about the oodles of gorgeous cheeses and wines, the pickles,......the fresh meats (and so much of it local) or the tempting menu. Actually I think I'll start by saying I love the fact that I could sit at a clean table surrounded by the above provisions (and the shell of a proper mini!) and enjoy a pleasant lunch. It's obvious that this establishment is very proudly local and they have won many awards for their produce. They also run steak nights and tapas nights. The only thing that will stop me rushing back here frequently would be the cafe prices which were a trifle higher than I like to pay but next time I want to buy someone a foodie gift from Yorkshire this is definitely where I will be heading.

This is one of those places that offers more than just food but provides an interesting and…read moreeducational dining 'experience' (as cheesy as this sounds!). This is because the local owners are not only qualified and have years and years worth of experience but are also very passionate about what they do and this is to provide top quality, locally sourced produce. From an array of the finest meats to award-winning cheeses, wines from the local vineyard and a copious collection of foodie treats and gifts and goodies. They also have connections with Spain and share their passion for the country by organising regular Spanish-themed tapas evenings. You wouldn't expect to find this kind of place tucked away in Allerton and the exterior isn't exactly inspiring (a former working men's club, I believe) but it is well worth a visit. And the Mini in the middle of the place was a bit of a surprise too! A lovely place for a weekend breakfast treat. Ditch your mobile and instead take your Sunday papers.

With it coming up to St Patrick's day and having a half Irish boyfriend who likes to celebrate it,…read moreI thought what better way to do it than with a good old beef and Guinness stew? So I toddled off to the Market and found B&J Callard had exactly what I was after. The very nice butcher weighed out 2lbs of braising steak for me and as he was bagging it up, I was rummaging for my purse. Which was not in my bag. Panic set in then and I apologised profusely and said I'd have to leave it for today. Nope. Instead of sending me on my merry way, he handed me the bag of beef and told me to drop the money in another time. I was speechless. I didn't think this happened anymore in this day and age! So after lots of thanking, I dashed off to get a bus home and see if my purse was there - thank goodness it was and after another sprint to get the bus back to town (I had to go to work after this too!), I went and paid the lovely butcher. I will definitely use them again, they went above and beyond to provide their service and I'm so very grateful to them for it.

A smorgasbord of deep red flesh lies on display with all different kinds of choice cuts available for your picking. Doing a rip-roaring trade at Christmas time too. To boost the footfall through the shop there's a take-away sandwich shop offering fillings of the kind you could expect from a butchers. There a selection of other snacks and drinks too. A jolly wee shop and massive asset to the community.

The store is situated in a very large building that looks like a department store towering over the…read morestreet. I suspect it is most frequently visited by restaurant/cafe owners or those with massive families who stock up on huge bags of rice, pulses and other products available in 'bulk buy'. They do, however, sell single portions of things for the lone shopper who enters anyway despite the huge 'cash and carry' exterior, such as myself. I managed to find cans of Coconut milk for only 59p each which is almost half the price of other retailers. My whole basket came to less than a fiver, which would have been more around the £8 - £10 mark in most other shops. They sell vegetables, breads, and meats fresh or frozen. Biscuits, sweet goods, kitchen wear such as baking trays and other handy bits and bobs, and various cosmetics such as bath/shower gel etc. Susan is right about the name being somewhat confusing as it is mainly foods from Asia and Africa and not the common British conception of 'continental food' (deli style West European). If you are after the latter (Italian, French, Spanish etc) you are probably better off going to a deli in town or a chain supermarket.

Prices are fantastic, packages have a variety of sizes to suit your needs and it's like an Aladdin's Cave. Go have a snoop around, I bet they stock something you'll want to buy at a great price!
