S. Collins & Son – Family Butcher

Absolutely love this place… A fantastic family run business with great staff and superb produce.
I first paid a visit to this butchers before Christmas to order a duck for Christmas lunch. If the length of queue to pick up your Christmas order is anything to go by then I knew I was on to a winner. I queued for over an hour on Dec 23, while heavily pregnant, to pick up my order. I can honestly say it was worth it, as Christmas lunch was fantastic!
I have paid several visits to this butchers since then and I can reassure that although this is a busy little place the queues aren’t normally as long as at Christmas!
I have sampled several of their award-​winning sausages, and can report that their pork & leek sausages are delicious!
They also have a great range of prepared meals ready to go in the oven. From these I love their chicken fillets in a white wine sauce.
If you like your steaks visit on a Monday and if you buy two steaks you get a free sauce to go with your steak. I have bought their rib-​eye steaks which are deliciously beefy and tender.
If Muirhead is out of your reach, then do check out their website as they have an online ordering and delivery service. If you can though, it is worth a visit. Although it is a little small, the shop is pristine and the produce is well presented. There are often daily or weekly special offers also and a Gold Card loyalty scheme to reward regular customers.

Two words, tomato sausages. Seriously I’m surprised no ones actually reviewed this place. Suffice to say from the first of December every day till Christmas there is a queue out the door and down the street towards the school. The longest I’ve seen it is half a mile.
They make their own sausages and they are fantastic. Hardly any fat and just wonderful. The black pudding is great too and I’ve never had a bad steak from here either. Worth the travelling honestly. The shop is kept spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. If they don’t have it in they’ll order it in for you. Most of the time in December you’ll need to make two visits once to make your order and another to collect it.
