Yes, local butcher for me, top lads and the meat is upon a different plain
There is a difference between cheap and value for money, a few extra bob and vastly improved quality is the call for me, they even sharpen my kitchen knives properly if I ask

Lucky to have a proper butcher in my manor - they supply all the meat to Selfridges and 1500 restaurants around london, or used to...
there's also a really good Irish butchers in Goldhawk Road
I had some bacon the other day from M&S looked great in the pack but turned into a white scummy foam mess in the pan - does my swede in they inject that shit in just to up the weight, on the cheap
Also use Farmison - excellent online/delivery butcher that has never let me down and has a range of meat you'll never tire of

Since lockdown I have started using the online butcher Donald Russell. It all comes frozen but the quality is really really good. Their burgers and sausages are so good it is very hard to go back to the supermarket alternatives.

Going to have a go at making salt beef, if it worth going to a butcher on the basis you have to brine it for a week and then boil it to death

I buy most of our meat from Calcott Farm shop Brentwood.the shop is superb and everything seasonal is grown on site and dirt cheap.
I’ve been using the place for 30 years.
There’s an independent butcher on site the fellas name is Neil (Risdon) we have become friends over the years his meat is second to none and sourced locally. Not the cheapest but not ridiculously expensive.there are six of us in our house a little goes a long way when needs be.
I think quality is always a better option over quantity.
Our local supermarket is Sainsbury’s(it takes more money than other per metre squared in the country apparently it has no competition)all their meat is fucking shit.
Marks and Spencer’s steak is ok and not to expensive.
Aldi’s 21 day aged best ever range? Is well nice at about 7 quid a pop.
Overall you get what you pay for.
I’ve become a bit of expert of late seeing that there’s been fuck all else to do.

I am lucky to have three good localish butchers. Don't use them as often as I should out of laziness but their steaks are superb and also good for getting stuff like goat, hoggett, venison and rabbit when I fancy cooking something a bit out of the ordinary. I do a mean curry goat.

Fresh burgers from the butcher in our local indoor market are very good, happy to buy a chicken from local asda but gonna start using the butcher in said narket for joints of meat. Last supermarket one i got wasn't great.

i think it depends on the cut. Things like Mince and sausages is going to be way better in your local butcher than Tesco. However when it comes down to it a pork chop is a pork chop.
Local butchers are also better for something like a good dry aged steak and a local Deli will serve better quality and variety of salami and cheese that you will get in the supermarket.

I am convinced, I am going to start buying meat from the butchers rather than the local sainsburys/tesco.
Most of the positives make sense and for the few extra quid must be worth it. Especially as I only try to have meat 2-3 days a week.

I'd never given this much thought before thus weekend, but I bought 2lb of steak mince from an award-winning butcher in COWDENBEATH yesterday. Bunged it in the slow cooker with some veg and a couple of OXO, and it was fucking MAGNIFICENT.
Tasted like meat used to taste when I was a kid.

Used to love A G Dennis - Wanstead High Street.
Wonderful old fashioned family firm for whom nothing was too much trouble - and who still understood what a pound of swags was.
Sadly closed in 2016/2017 after 90 years to be taken over by The Ginger Pig - which at least is a proper butchers, even if a bit poncey/hipster imagewise.
Still - could have been worse and gone halal.
Am I allowed to say that ? - (f&*k it)

Some Supermarkets in London have upped their game and are stocking well hung meat but the butchers meat is still much better. There are two butchers in Borough market that I use regularly.

Mike says. I'd get home, show him my meat, told him my thoughts and he took it from there.
And that, ladies an gennlemen, is why he's on his second wife.

Waitrose have a great selection of rib of beef, but expensive.
I know my butcher so I can ask him to hang beef for 35 - 42 days, which he doesn't charge extra for, if I give him notice.
He can also pinpoint which fields his meat was farmed on.
I'd never buy a joint of meat from a supermarket. It tastes like what it is, factory farmed.
