Nothing is too much trouble for Dean & Alan Murray and their ever helpful staff.

Quality Products with a personal service and attention to detail is second to none. 1st Rate Local Butchers, Champagne 4 Beer Money... So what are YOU waiting for ..

What can I say, such good old fashioned charm will keep me coming back for more. They have the kind of meats you can't find in Iceland or Tesco, such as organ meats, spare ribs, and minced pork; common items, but not common enough for your high street retailer to stock. Now that summer is coming they have a greater variety of skewers. I recently tried their Kofta skewers (a bargain at 49p each), which were really tasty! They also have ready-made sauces and even some pasta in the store, which I will have to try someday.

To be honest sometimes it so hard to decide between them that I end up have a variety and enjoying a smorgasbord of sausage on my platter.

The butchers here obviously take pride in their work, so the prices and quality are definitely at the high end of the scale. Not only are the pigs not safe, but ducks, deer, ostrich and kangaroo are among the animals that have ended up on the menu here. There is also a few varieties of veggie sausage, but both times I've enquired there's only been one or two out of the four available I guess they don't get many vegetarians here. I recommend the scrumpy sausage, over the chicken sausage I tried. Oh, and if you're rich; they deliver.

I have been wanting to go here for ages and finally managed to last Saturday night. First lesson -…read moredon't go on a Saturday night! It was heaving, and when the tables are so closely packed together as to make you wonder which person is actually your date, it ends up being pretty claustrophobic. Plus there seemed to be an entire rugby team gathered round the table behind us, which made our conversation absolutely impossible. Due to the place being packed out with severely limited room for the wait staff to get to us, we were horribly neglected service-wise. One very nice chap was great for the first ten minutes, but after that we literally had to shout 'excuse me' over several couples when someone got within hearing distance - usually to rush on either without hearing or without wanting to hear. The food was also below par - I did have four very nice oysters to start with, but my lamb wasn't terribly flavourful and the spiced aubergine it was sitting on didn't work for me. My side of Savoy cabbage was cooked in such a way as to mean I had to chew each mouthful for a full minute before I could swallow. My dining companion's Glamorgan sausage to start was alright (nothing special) and they described their asparagus main as "a dish that a meat-eater would invent for a vegetarian without actually trying it". The pudding of cinnamon chocolate parfait was lovely and we ate every scrap. To their credit they took the Savoy cabbage off of the bill, but it was still fairly substantial for the rather uncomfortable and unsatisfying experience we had had. I may go back and try it on a less busy night, just to see if they can function better when not stretched to breaking point.

I'm not entirely sure why this is being called Franklins Pub…read more It does have a pub / bar area at the front and seating outside n the street, and though a good place for a few drinks, nice lager on tap and good wine selection, but the place is really more of a restaurant, I'd be hard pressed to call it a pub. Anyway, it's small and intimate, very much a neighbourhood restaurant. The food is of the St Johns 'nose-to-tail' style so great for carnivores. There will be one vegetarian dish so if it's not to your liking as a veggie then choice will be very limited (though the cheese selection is fab). The quality of the food is why you go though; I've very rarely had anything that wasn't superb from stalwarts like the steak to more adventurous game dishes or sweetbreads. Like anywhere it can have the odd day when a dish has been merely competent and delicious as opposed to the usual excellence. The service is also good and strikes a good balance between formal and friendly. Wine list is excellent, talking of which I marked it £££, but if you're tempted down list from the 3-4 (of each colour) house type wines it will quickly become a ££££ (there's a great Margaux, a steal at £45,half price you'll find it anywhere up town). I've been going for the best part of a decade and it remains not only a local favourite for me but has trumped many a pricier option in town. Definitely worth a try.
