Butchers - Online or Local

[01234]

What is best butchers around that is affordable, local or online?

Looking for mainly joints and steaks

Supermarket meat is getting so bad now.

Welcome to the board. Pop to your local butcher and try them out.

Hello dear fellow,

Can I just check, are you per chance a lifelong labour voter who couldn't possibly vote for them any longer?

Anyway, welcome along.

Someone told me that Bolam's over on Portrack is supposed to be pretty good. I've never been myself yet mind!

If you want quality - find a beef/lamb or pig farmer. That is the only way you will get quality. And, you will pay.

Your local butcher is pulling it in from all over Europe as cheap as they can get it. Quality is the last thing on their minds.
You will get it cheaper for sure.

The odd butcher will have proof of provenance - but, again, you will pay.

Do you mean the Sedgefield shop? There isn't one in Portrack is there?

 

[SE4 Red]

I always find Blackwell's in Norton to be good. It's not cheap.

If out Guisborough way try Enfield Butchers on Enfield Chase.

I get some stuff online from Campbell's, as they do an awesome Lorne Sausage ( Scottish square sausage) as well as haggis and some decent steaks.

My Dad also swears by Donald Russel, who look to do an unreal Beef Wellington, bit pricey though.

Yeah Donald Russell is excellent. The prices are a bit steep but they do offers and bundles at various times, plus send you discounts periodically.

George Bowlams
Country Valley, leeholme Road Billingham are the 2 I use

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

always gone to Kitsons and now five houses

I was recommended Bolam's and got some chicken breasts, mince and a few other bits. The chicken was awful quality and the mince was full of squeaky bits of gristle

It was cheap but really bad quality

For my smoker I buy stuff online but standard stuff five houses has everything

 

[Cappachoochoo]

Turner & George on line, really very good,and a great service

 

[Anybody4aBeer]

5 Houses are great, but you pay for the quality. Also Mainsgill is very good as well. They usually have a stall at the local Farmers Markets, if you dont want to travel to their farm shop

Another vote for Blackwells at Norton.

[Low_Key]

[Smoggynorm]

5 Houses all day long.

[Glover_elbow]

Hutchison and hobs and Blackwells both excellent
Five houses is decent but a bit up and down
Mainsgill very good if you want to travel abit further on the a66 near barny
Bowlams is shîte been once and never again.

 

[smoggs03]

Bolams ranges from ok to poor, I’ve been a few times for BBQ supplies.
In addition to those above there’s one out at Richmond meant to be really good

 

[B-Man]

Not local, and no longer particularly cheap but it is exceptional value when you consider quality. The main place I buy my beef from these days…..
