J & J Butchers

Veggies — turn away now. I’m about to rave about this joint (geddit??), and I really wouldn’t want to offend…
To my eternal shame, I’ve only recently discovered this excellent local butchers, despite being in the area for a good 12 months. What a lot of time (and money!) I’ve wasted, eating crap tasteless meat, at inflated costs, when I could have been shopping here for the good stuff!
The first clue came last Christmas, when the locals were queueing around the block to pick up their turkeys — it seems everyone in Bevendean was getting their Xmas dinner here. Having bought a selection of goods in here, at last, I can certainly see why.
We bought lamb chops, a pork joint, and half a dozen wonderful sausages — 12 quid for the lot. Oh, and they threw in a dog bone, too. ALL the meat was melt in the mouth, literally. My young niece didn’t even recognise the lamb as meat she’d eaten before, so flavoursome and tender was it.
I really can’t recommend this place enough — I certainly won’t be buying meat at the supermarket anymore. Not only that but, if I do move out of the area, I’ll be going out of my way to come here for my Sunday lunch.
Wonderful.
