This awesome little butchers is a longstanding provider of meat here in Otley, and it's no surprise…read moresince they're proud enough to shout about it in their window signage - winning pork pie and sausage championships from 2004 - 2008! The chaps in there are really friendly and the whole place has that down to earth counter service approach with a whole variety of meats to choose from. Not exactly something a vegetarian might be impressed with but then again when it comes to ethics it's not exactly of the wasteful mass produced supermarket ilk, is it? As well as a range of delicious meats they also sell fresh local milk and a range of delicious sandwiches for your lunch. Only thing I'm not too keen on the idea of is a pork tongue salad... but you know, perhaps I'm picky?

Woodend's is a really high quality butcher in my eyes, and one that myself and many other people I…read moreknow use frequently. They supply top notch beef, pork and lamb from the local farms in many forms (steaks, medallions, cutlets, carved slices). Woodend's is also a good bet if you're lining up a fry up or barbeque - thick bacon, and home-made burgers and sausages that put the supermarket's products to shame. But the best thing about Woodend's is the hot sandwiches they make for you on the spot, the best of which is the unbelievably tasty chicken and stuffing.

JB Wilkinson & Sons, it seems, are not quite the indie local little butchers that I had assumed…read morethey were - if you take a peek at their website you will come to realise that they have branches all about Leeds and Yorkshire! That's not to say it's a bad thing, by all means it suggests that they are popular, but judging by the people of Otley this particular branch isn't quite the favourite. Nevertheless, I am not one to sniff at the underdog, more over I am the one who will visit them more so as it often means less queuing! It's always worth a try, after all if the service is no good you've only the need to find that out once. JB Wilkinson & Sons of Otley certainly isn't bad as a local butchers. They appear to have as much of an array of bits as any other butchers, with lots of tasty cuts on show from proper Sunday lunch meats to more day to day bacon style choices. One thing that I thought was particularly cool was that you could purchase ready made mixes for stir fry - thai chicken, pork and beef stir fry mixes for about £4 per lb. That's not too bad as a one off now is it? It was a little disappointing to see things such as Colemans sauce packets on sale, I like to get my indie jams, sauces and chutneys from a local butcher, as opposed to some big company ready made that is packed with preservatives. Still, as I say, not bad for meat and such - especially if you want to miss the queue at Weegmans!

It's another branch of one of the county's most revered butcher's, J B Wilkinson, a store that…read moreseems to pop up in a number of little market towns on the outskirts of Leeds. This time it's Yeadon, and it's on the high street behind the huge Morrisons supermarket - which it outclasses considerably as far as meat is concerned. Think huge fresh cuts of pork, lamb, beef, chicken and other lovely meats, cut and wrapped to order and quite often presented alongside a tip from the butcher who hands you it. These guys aren't just butchers, they're chefs by the sound of it - they're all willing to give you a recipe for the meat you buy when asked, and they know what they're on about. The prices are what you'd expect from a quality butcher using local produce, and are the same as all the other J B Wilkinson's, but for some unexplainable reason, I just prefer the Rawdon branch. This one's still mighty fine though.
