Have been coming here since it opened - the steaks vary between above average to absolutely outstanding. Always get friendly service, with excellent advice on preparation, especially for some of the cuts I am less familiar with. The other deli items are often a nice surprise, good quality and again, often not the things I would have considered buying as you'll never see them in a Tesco.

As I am visiting the region I was looking forward to the legendary taste of a good Angus beef steak. When I entered the shop I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer selection of produce, wine and beer. I thought itd be a good foresight of the meat quality. I went for the ribeye. I politely asked the butcher whether or not the steak was Angus beef and whether or not it was dry aged. He answered quite boorishly, but that can happen in the heat of the moment. No judgment there. Off I went with two prime cuts of dry aged Angus ribeye. Or so I thought. I am far from the kind of person to write bad reviews, but the quality of the steak I bought is one of the worst Ive ever experienced from an actual butcher. After dry-brining the meat, it quickly became apparent that the meat still contained a lot of moisture (dry aged?) and that the cuts werent of consistent thickness. Ill spare you of all other frustrations, but in the end all I got was a ridiculously thin steak full that was almost impossible to get right. I got most of it medium rare, but even then the taste was just bland. More than half of it was cartilage and membrane, rather than fatty marble as Id expect. The 1 inch steak I bought ended up about under a quarter inch thick on the plate.
