Andersonstown Meats

ATown Meats or ‘Tuckers’ as it’s affectionately called by those who know the owner, is a stalwart of the Andersonstown area of Belfast.
On a Saturday, you’ll enter to the noise of football on the radio and laughing/​chat of customers and staff taking customer service to new heights.
You would think that to reach this level of familiarity and join in the conversations it would take years of solid patronage, but you would be mistaken. It just happens to be that the warmth of the staff makes you feel like you are a long time customer in no time at all!
The meat is always top quality and if you are a fan of sausage (steady now) I would highly recommend a try of their delicious pork sausages.

A popular local butchers, similar to Gibson’s (see my review). The thing about these butchers that still makes them popular (although obviously not as popular as they were before the big supermarket chains arrived) is their customer service. They still do the occasional offers on different items which can make them well worth a visit, especially in the summer when you see offers for burgers and sausages.
Customer service is so important to places like this, and they make an effort to get to know their customers very quickly. In an age where discounts ensure that we all flock to the big supermarket chains, it’s become something of a refreshing change and a novelty to be able to go into local businesses and get some sort of recognition/​customer care. We’re always going to go to the big chains (who could afford not to?) but calling in to businesses like these gives you the rare opportunity to experience the personal touch (see my Direct Furniture review)
Another reason these butchers still have a loyal following is that they have Christmas clubs. You can pay your turkey/​Christmas order off at a few pounds per week from around August, thereby spreading the cost of Christmas. Again, things like this were more popular before the supermarket chains, but there are still plenty of people who use this service. And that’s before we start talking about meat parcels… (see my Premier Meats review).

Nice clean butchers with great selection of meats. Good prices quality for money and the service is also great.
