Agree with evomedia's review - a very good traditional butchers. Good value free-range chicken, eggs available. The sausages are delicious, comparable with supermarket prices but much nicer! They also do less usual cuts or items. We had a whole rabbit a couple of months ago for a stew, although as a child of the supermarket age I haven't ventured as far as tripe and sweetbreads!
There is often a queue on a Saturday and they close relatively early (officially 5pm but I've found getting there at 4.50 can be too late!) so if you work in the town centre your best bet is to go at lunch time. Not open Sundays.
If you know what you want and are buying a lot it is also worth ringing up and they will put aside for you- I did this for a recent BBQ.
The only down side is they do use a quite a lot of plastic packaging, but probably no more than you would get from a meat counter in a supermarket.
Established 1886, very high quality traditional butchers, very good service and price is good for the quality, English meat & game specialists, Licensed game dealers, Handmade sausages etc.
