Richard H. Turner is an acclaimed restaurateur with an unwavering passion for food. James George is a man who knows and loves his trade - he's a keen advocate of traditional cutting methods and butchery. Together, they formed Turner & George to bring back to the high street the same quality and consistency of meat found in Richard's kitchens.
There's a bit of meat to their relationship. Together, they founded the East London Steak Company in 2010, and with strong demand hammering at their door Turner & George was born. This artisan butcher's shop is a haven for food enthusiasts, both online and over the counter at their shop on St John Street, Angel.

Services
Introducing something a bit special to the Turner & George range - UK ex-dairy beef. Sourced from retired British Fresian cows and put out to pasture on a grass fed diet for up to 2 years, we are pleased to get behind this new sustainable and ethical approach towards beef. Benefitting from a slow, natural fattening process, the meat results in a rain drop style marbling, that is full of rich flavour.
Every so often, we'll acquire a carcass of a rare-breed pork and beef in small quantities. From Mackay's Highland, to Ale Fed Dexter, Gloucester Old Spot to Yorkshire Tamworth, you can find cuts of our specialist breeds here. Be quick though, when it's gone, it's gone. PLEASE NOTE: Breeds from the Black Label Range are not available for collection from EC1, who will be operating with different rare-breed beef, pork and lamb.
Our small butchers team here have a friendly and knowledgeable approach to the meats we sell over the counter. They've put together this range of high quality produce that's exclusive to our shop and only available for collection. When ordering Click & Collect please make sure you don't have any items for delivery in the same basket.
Turner & George are purveyors of the kind of meat you'd always want at your table. We take great care in sourcing our beasts and birds from suppliers and farms that reflect our own meticulous attitude to rearing and taste. More importantly, all of our meat is free from growth promoters, hormones, antibiotics and cruelty.
Tucked a stone's throw away from the bustle of Angel station and a number of independent boutiques and restaurants, No. 399 sticks out as one of the only surviving New river Company houses in the area. Built just prior to the Victorian era and probably reconstructed around 1845, it remained a butcher's shop here until the 1990s.

I have shopped live in the store on several occasions and while the quality of the meat varies from exceptional to very good it is still the best butcher in London I have tried. Quite confused by online one star reviews ! It is a butcher after all , call me old fashioned but I do not do food online ( unless it is canned or manufactured) . Live butchery is outstanding, yet as I said a bit spotty.

High quality meat. The best. I am a customer but not a valued one. I have emailed them several times over the last few years of loyal service and never had a reply.
Moat recently I was unhappy about a replacement in an order and have been ignored. I am a keyworker and they did a whole promotion about discounts for us but never replied to my frequent requests for the code.
I've spent literally thousands of pounds over the last few years of my hard earned money because I'd rather pay for having less meat but better quality.
Customer service so bad I now take my money to other emerging business

Do not order online from this company! They take money from your account and hold it for several days even though the order is inexplicably declined. The online team never answer the phone when you try to query and staff in the shop (who stated themselves that “this happens online all the time” and the online team “never have anyone in to answer the phone”) are incredibly rude when you contact them for help as a last resort. Absolutely despicable service.

Ordered Burgers, flat end brisket and pork loin ribs. Delivery was prompt, however any ice packs that had been put into the box with the delivery had melted and the temperature of the meat on delivery was bordering on concerning - if i had not been home to immediately put the meat in the fridge it would not have survived on the doorstep.
The burgers were fantastic, and the brisket delicious after smoking for 9 hours. Similar to another recent reviewer a vegetarian friend even enjoyed it. However the brisket was unfortunately overly trimmed on delivery with the entire fat cap removed despite being

I had lived in Angel Islington for few years. For me, Turner and George is always one the best neighbors I had, they always provide the finest meat with extremely friendly attitude, and no mentioning all of the staffs are really proffesional on the product they serve.
If you are seeking for brilliant quality of meat, do pop in if you pass by Angel.

I recently bought the Staples Box, using the over-70's offer, for which many thanks. Thoroughly recommend it. The pork chops are heroic in size, yet still beautifully tender. The sausages are proper meaty sausages, really tasty. I roasted the chicken today and it's a good'un. Still have so much more..
