I think the small, local and independent butcher is something to be cherished. With more and more of us doing all of our shopping at a massive supermarket once a week, finding an independent butcher, baker or candlestick maker is becoming more and more of a surprise. Longsight Meat Market isn’t a market, it is just a small butchers. They’ve got one of those hot meat stands out at the front of the shop. Unfortunately, rather than successfully ripping off Gabbotts Farm butchers popular hot meat stand(think chicken wings, nuggets, popcorn chicken), it’s more a case of tired looking meatballs in this case. But this betrays what the Longsight Meat Market is actually about, which is providing quality meat at great prices. There’s plenty of staff behind the counter to help you get exactly what you want. Two lbs of bacon here costs just £1.50. Try getting those types of prices at the supermarket.
