Its the best butchers in town but would be the best butcher in most other towns. A good old fashioned butchers with a huge range of meat cuts and which thankfully has not been affected by the gentrification of parts of the town. So it sells pigs trotters, chicken feet, salt beef and pork knuckles not because they are bistro chic but because the locals know that good things can come from such things. More usual cuts abound and all at very reasonable prices. Proper slabs of Brisket, Shoulders of Mutton and oxtail alongside the usual lamb and pork chops and roasting joints. The long queue often outside is deceptive as with a large number of staff service is quick, friendly and efficient.

H R Parsons is THE butchers to visit(if you don’t want Halal meat) in Walthamstow. They used to supply a lot of the meat to The Lock before it sadly closed. Their rib of beef is amazing, and their pork belly always cooks SO well with brilliant crackling. They’re open 7 days a week, and are happy to take orders for more unusual cuts etc(they got rabbit in for us a couple of times) and are happy to fillet/prepare meat for you if you give them advance notice.

H.R. Parsons to butcher of Walthamstow High Street is open 7 days a week and regularly has a queue. There are always plenty of staff ready to serve even on a Sunday. Personally I favour their Chipolatas and it’s a great place to visit before a barbecue in the summer.
