Why would a bucher open on a Saturday when the Sunday roast is probably a main (or the main) source of his income? It doesn't make any sense, does it?

because its not really a 'butchers'. Its a meat wholeseller.

Just been down there this morining, was absolutely heaving

Dunno what the price per kilo is but I bet it isn't any different to Morrisons.

I heard a rumor that Morrisons get their meat from Bolams?.

I've seen their lorries unloading at the one in Pools. Only once, mind.
 
Ouch. I'll have to give this one a miss. 60 mile round trip for a decent steak is just a bit too far.
 
Spug said:
Mate it's no more expensive than Bolams, it's just a family trying to earn a living off their produce and they do it the right way.

The stuff they do is beautiful, top top meat and it costs you no more than going to any butchers or supermarket.

Trust me.

If you haven't already don't freeze the beef and have it blue, I have picked at the sirloin raw :eek:
 
Last time I was there I was sitting in the carpark waiting for a space and the old farmer turns up with about 10 sheep and I thought, this is a one way job for them.

Thats when you know the meat is going to be good, fresh as it gets
