This is the butchers my mum-in-law has always used. I have been living in the US for seven years…read morenow, and recently went to my in-laws' for Christmas. I was sent to Hoptons for meat. The quality and selection was so high I couldn't believe my eyes. You see, in America, there are no butchers. They've been barred by the government. Only huge conglomerates are allowed to sell meat. I was used to grey beef, people going around saying how great a "hot dog" was, and paying upwards of $25 for a small piece of grass-fed sirloin (Yankees feed cattle corn and a cocktail of hormones/chemicals so they get very fat quickly). These folks are proper tradesmen, who clearly care deeply about the quality of their meat and service. I've never tasted better bacon, steak, or sausages. I kept going back. And, unlike in America, I didn't need to take out a loan to buy some quality food- this seemed to be the norm! I noticed that, when queuing (in the rain) for quite a while to pick up our Christmas orders, everyone was smiling and very happy. No one complained, all were only excited to be getting the best meat in Cheshire. Such a treat. Its amazing to think that people here in the States constantly crack jokes about how terrible the food is in the UK, when a little butcher in Hoole produces food that would make any NYC Michelin-starred chef weep with jealousy. I am heading back the Chester soon, and you can bet my tea will include plenty of cuts from Hopton's.

The store itself is of a good size, has a wide range of groceries, some are well known brands others are not english brands, and can take some working out, glad there are pictures on the products. The store has a fiar size fruit and veg section which is very good in price and certainly knocks spots off the competatiors. One negative I found was lack of staff on the shop floor as I came across a few items that were not priced and did not want to wait to the till point before asking. The staff at the till are friendly and helpful.

Melt in the mouth and lasted a couple of days too They have a wide range of food and if you are on a tight budget this is great for fruit, veg and essentials without compromising on taste. There is a variety of different brands and sometimes I have never heard of them!!! But that doesn't mean they aren't quality they just are probably from abroad It is nice for unusual sweets and treats and they have great variety packs of things like hollow Easter eggs etc. There is a good selection of wines and alcohol too at low prices great for stocking up for special occasions. Highly recommended.

They are not too expensive either - they are such good value. We usually stock up when we go there - as we live quite a way away. Their meat is also very good and they also do a delicatessen. Their sausages are also excellent - a really high meat content and a large variety of choice. They also sell cheeses of all kinds. the shop is quite large and very clean. The staff are very friendly and chatty and very willing to help you with anything.
