Meat Like It Used Be Co

More like butchers like they used to be — knowledgable, friendly and happy to do any meat preparation for you. I went in last night and there was one person already being served — the butcher had tenderised a piece of beef to order and was in the process of cutting it into strips for her.
But that didn’t mean I had to wait, as he called his colleague out from the back who was happy to assist. I was very pleased with both the service and the quality of the steaks I purchased.
I’m a semi-​regular here, although I tend to shop here more in the summer when buying for barbecues etc as they have a good range. They also make their own sausages — the pinner porker is great, and they even make pies, pasties and scotch eggs.

Meat Like It Used to Be is a great neighbourhood butcher, filled with knowledgable staff and great quality meat.
They have award-​winning sausages made on site, and also cure their own bacon, and make up their own beef burgers. There’s a variety of stuffed or marinated meat, good for the bbq in the summer or for roasting in the winter. They make sausage rolls and pasties, and it’s pretty hard to resist when you walk by and smell that baking! They were happy to give me bones for a dog for no charge. Anything you want, they’ll get in for you. There’s a small selection of produce and chutneys, and some meat bagged up for the freezer. Oh, and there’s cheese and ham, too. I may just start sleeping on the floor.
And if you go in and say what you’re making, they’ll give you the right cut of meat and the right size, and then tell you how long to cook it. I think one of these days, they’ll just follow me home and cook it up for me.
The downside? It’s expensive. But you’re paying for quality and expertise, which you just don’t get at a supermarket. They’re open seven days a week, too.
