Rik recommended this Scottish butchers to me, and I have been using them ever since. To say their meat is addictive is an understatement. Once you try their steaks and sausages, you won't want anything else. Not cheap, but they do often have special offers on, and the quality is second to none. Highly recommended!

Like Simon says (all together now ;D), their meat is of amazing quality and really worth the extra you pay, they give great service and provided detailed cooking instructions which produce perfect results every time.

Talk about spend it like Beckham! :o
-
Oh, you can afford it, Clive! ;D £14 for four packs of six sausages isn't much more than Tescos, and you'll be hard pushed to beat them. :)
-
Sounds great and i'm gonna try them :thumbs:
-
I'm sure you'll enjoy them, Cam. :thumb:

Can I suggest Woodhouse Farm (http://www.woodhousefarm.co.uk/) as an alternative? These butchers attend farmers markets throughout the midlands and their produce is fabulous. We've stopped buying sausages and bacon from local butchers and stock up our freezer once a month from the local farmers market instead.

Looks interesting, Gill, but the website could do with a makeover. It's a shame there's no images for many of the products. :-\
-
I had forgotten how good Richmond sausages were until a few months ago. Now I buy them all the time.
-
We will convert you yet, Clive. Take a look here (http://www.donaldrussell.com/p/PrimaryCategory_Sausages/D274.htm). :)
-
Not to mention here. (http://www.donaldrussell.com/p/ShopByCategory_Beef_Beef%20Steaks/B500.htm) It's a steal at that price, but only till tomorrow.

That's got to be my favourite cut so far. :)

Not me, David, but I have persuaded people from DR and Kit's Kitchen to join Netters. ;)
-

Agreed. Though the centre cut fillet log was pretty good too... :)
-
Clive its a slippery slope stick to plain food ;)
-
I've just ordered a couple more - but for delivery in two weeks. I assume they'll still charge the offer price?
-
Yes, it's price at time of ordering. Our freezers really have reached bursting point now, so we need to eat a bit before our next order (probably November once we have the Xmas menus planned out. :)
-
I just wanted to grab a couple more CBs at the offer price, as, nice as it is, I wouldn't buy it just for myself at the full price.
-
I don't blame you. At least with two of us, it's easier to justify. :)

Fear not David. Richmond sausages were on offer a few weeks ago át £1 for a pack of 8. I bought about 20 packs for the freezer. ;D

I fully agree. Just don't forget to pick the bits of pigs colon and foreskin out of your teeth, Clive. ;D
-

Exactly David. What goes on behind closed doors should remain private. ;D

I grew up in a market town in the middle of Lincolnshire. We had delicious potatoes ( I know - I picked them during the summer holidays), sweet strawberries (I know - they ripened for picking just before the potato main crop), and wonderful pork (I sometimes watched the pigs being slaughtered at the abattoir down the street). The local butcher, Mr Thornalley, had his own recipe for sausages; when they were fried, the skins would caramelise as the pork roasted within. Sadly, Mr Thornalley took his sausage recipe to the grave, but I shall never forget the peppery, crisp yet succulent sausages of my youth. Modern Lincolnshire sausages are like photocopies of his Mona Lisa.
Nowadays so many sausages are just mechanically recovered meat and rusk soused in water so that the meat steams instead of roasting as it cooks. Sadly, even premium brands are no guarantee of quality.
I fell out with my local butcher when I complained about his sausages. He markets his sausages with great pride. The skins kept bursting open as they were cooked and I said this was because he was filling them with more than 11% water. He didn't disagree. Often, when you buy sausages, you are buying sludge, bread and water.
-
Not with DR, Gill. I urge you to try them. I've never had one burst. ;)

Thats no good for people who like real food Sam, unless they have had their taste bids surgically removed ;D

I quite like quorn, but I don't like it enough to forgo meat, especially sausages. Guess what I just cooked for lunch - Woodhouse Farm Tamworth Sausages. They were gorgeous.
-

Yes. ;D

I am looking forward to trying some of this beef, if I can afford it and justify spending so much for a meal :)

It's supposed to be very good, and I know that DR are considering adding it to their range.
