| - Brilliant. This place is legitimate. I went in today to do my holiday shopping, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had everything I needed (even somewhat obscure stuff like bones for marrow).
The quality of meat is exceptionally high, especially their Berkshire pork. The man (I assume the manager, as he said he would be working XMas day!) who helped us was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. He cut and cleaned a beautiful bone-in pork roast for us on the spot, all the while describing where and how the pork had been raised.
Special orders are available if you call in advance, but as I said, they had a great selection when I went. Everything from ground beef, to fresh chorizo, to duck rillet.
The shop was clean and well stocked with the accoutrements you expect from a fine dining shop I.E. Preserves, sauces, and the like. Also, they totally have an arcade cabinet! Bubble Bobble while you wait. I love it.
Of course, you pay a premium for a premium cut of meat, but the prices seemed very reasonable. I will definitely make this my go-to from now on. I was thoroughly impressed by the caliber of meat and helpfulness of the staff. I really think it's worth making an extra stop to get your meat here, rather than the supermarket.
