Meat Like It Used to Be is a great neighbourhood butcher, filled with knowledgable staff and great…read morequality meat. They have award-winning sausages made on site, and also cure their own bacon, and make up their own beef burgers. There's a variety of stuffed or marinated meat, good for the bbq in the summer or for roasting in the winter. They make sausage rolls and pasties, and it's pretty hard to resist when you walk by and smell that baking! They were happy to give me bones for a dog for no charge. Anything you want, they'll get in for you. There's a small selection of produce and chutneys, and some meat bagged up for the freezer. Oh, and there's cheese and ham, too. I may just start sleeping on the floor. And if you go in and say what you're making, they'll give you the right cut of meat and the right size, and then tell you how long to cook it. I think one of these days, they'll just follow me home and cook it up for me. The downside? It's expensive. But you're paying for quality and expertise, which you just don't get at a supermarket. They're open seven days a week, too.

I went in last night and there was one person already being served - the butcher had tenderised a piece of beef to order and was in the process of cutting it into strips for her. But that didn't mean I had to wait, as he called his colleague out from the back who was happy to assist. I was very pleased with both the service and the quality of the steaks I purchased. I'm a semi-regular here, although I tend to shop here more in the summer when buying for barbecues etc as they have a good range. They also make their own sausages - the pinner porker is great, and they even make pies, pasties and scotch eggs.

If only there were more places like this. Your truely classic family butch. Does a large selection…read moreof meats, if something isn't instock it can be ordered in. I hear the turkey for Christmas is amazing - the queues outside are a sign of that! It's very reasonable price-wise, it certainly makes more sense to buy from them as it's local produce and you're supporting a local business. Also, you won't need to drive! Friendly as always, hope they are around for a long time yet! Opening hours can be a bit of a pain, but that's a small price to pay! Roll on summer.

I went in one Sunday to see what was available and ended up getting a full roasted chicken which was delicious with some Apple and Ginger juice made fresh (in a bottle). That juice... Oh my! I love it, personally. I also got some fresh corn (on the co) which was fresh and tasty once cooked! The butcher is nice and seems to be popular with most customers- I am new to the neighbourhood. They do accept credit and Visa cards which is a plus in this day and age. The only issue is that they close early (earlier than the time I get home) The only thing I would say slightly negative, more constructive criticism, is that it needs a little bit of an upgrade.

Everyone that works there is very friendly and above all, knowledgeable about the meat they are selling. I went in for a brisket, which he didn't have because they didn't like what had been delivered, which is a great sign of quality. But he worked with me on what unwanted and found a beautiful piece of chuck steak, which will certainly suit the dish. I look forward to going back here in the years to come.

This is an amazing butchers. I didn't realise butchers could be so nice!…read more Gone are the days of holding your nose when going in and walking on sawdust, this place even has a bespoke Lewis carpet mat in front of the the meat fridges. I only went in for some ribs and ended up getting completely carried away :) Their selection is awesome. I ended up buying steak and wild boar burgers, chicken breast, lamb ribs, Radlett sausages, spicy chicken wings and free range eggs! Okay, it is not as cheap as some of the bigger shops, but then you most definitely get what you pay for. The chicken breasts are delicious and I only needed 2 as they were rather sizeable! The lad behind the counter, was helpful, smiling and charming and nothing wass too much effort for him. I love the fact that they support the local community and the farming and there is a lot of local produce here to chose from. They also do a selection of glazed produce, hot & spicy, BBQ, herbed and so on, so you can be lazy and get it straight from them all done, no faff and straight in the oven or on the BBQ. I will 100% be back here. The quality is outstanding, fantastic selection and great service. I am a mega fan of this place.
