A great selection of fresh meats and a wide variety of flavoured cuts and stir frys. Extremely competitive on prices and often cheaper than the supermarket and far better quality.

Absolutely amazing. 5 stars doesnt do this place justice. Ordered some steaks for the OHs birthday (and because of lockdown we couldnt get to Cornwall for our annual trip) so it made sense to bring the steaks to us. Outstanding service and the steaks were melt in the mouth.
