Charles Frazer Butchers

I don’t frequent this butcher as often as I should — they have a great range and very friendly staff. But my favourite part? The sign in the window that says «unsupervised children will be sold» … My kind of people.
I stopped here to grab a steak rather than getting it from M&S. The butcher was helpful and friendly, happy to weigh my selected piece and give me a price before I committed to buying. Yup, I’m sure they’re pricier than M&S and Asda but sometimes I’m happy to stretch the pennies.
They have steak pies here which look really good, and a huge range of meats in the chillers. They also sell sauces and condiments so if you’re having a bank holiday BBQ, they’re worth a visit.

I’m very impressed with this butchers.
I’m a fan of a real butcher shop rather than the factory processed meat from a supermarket. There’s an art to cutting and presenting meat and this place has got it.
Along with the usual mix of slice, beef, chicken, etc there is an impressive array of pies and pasties with a mix of ingredients to add a touch of class to them. Some of their own sausages (such as the sweet chilli sizzler and the Lorraine sizzler) are to die for! Oh yes.
A great selection of preserves, sauces, dried pulses, herbs, and other ingredients means there can be little reason to go anywhere else for your meal.
The staff are friendly, knowledgable and very good at their job.
As with most butchers these days they’re a little more expensive than supermarkets but you get what you pay for and this butcher is definitely worth the little bit extra.
