Delicious meats, incredible prices, friendly and helpful people. My only qualm is that they are only open during work hours and closed on Sundays, so I have to stock up on Saturday. An easy adjustment for a wonderful establishment

EDITED: Won’t be coming back. Put an order through for collection. Was assured it will be ready on the day as Christmas recipes depend on it. On the collection day half of the order was missing and they didn’t even have it in stock. UPDATE: added after reading James Elliot's response. Yes, the order was put through on the website. And yes, what followed was a conversation with a live person to confirm the order will be ready. On the collection day, 1 item was not ready, lucky, the store had it in stock. The 2nd item (pork loin) was not in stock neither ready. I was told I can only have 1kg

None of the four people that were handling food and serving customers were wearing a face mask when we visited. That shows total disregard to their customer's welfare, especially given how things are looking in London and the rest of the UK right now

Fantastic butchers, excellent quality meat and very reasonably priced. The meat is fresh, very tasty and the shop appeared exceptionally clean.
Having just moved to the area, I was keen to find a good butcher and I am very pleased to have found James Elliott. Staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
I haven’t yet tried the cheese, but will definitely be doing so in the future; they have a great selection in the shop.

Great quality meats, reasonably priced. Never a long wait, always very friendly service and offer solid advice on portion sizes and cuts of meat for your dish!
Odd time they have run/sold out like i had with venison the other week, they can order more in for the following day with no issues.

Great local butcher- fantastic quality meat, and the staff go out of their way to be helpful (even when asking for an unusual cut of meat!). Thank you!

This is an absolutely fantastic butcher, great staff and great meat...a ribeye steak from here is just heaven. Good selection of cheeses as well. Thanks to everyone here for your hard work during the COVID situation, you've kept us all going. Much appreciated

I bought a delicious pork pie to share with my family and some cheese. Unfortunately the cheese I bought was seriously below par, a cheddar Isle of Mull cheddar (very acidic) and oxford blue cheese (not the nicest aftertaste). I know its a butchers but they are charging top money for these, they should be better.
