A & P Doherty

I’m a bit of a market novice when it comes to shopping for and actually buying meat and veg. I’ve got to be honest and admit that I’ve always watched the hustle and bustle of the markets in Birmingham from a safe distance.
However, having a young family and in these financially challenged times, I thought I should bite the bullet and give it a go as an actual customer, rather than mere browser.
Being the coward that I am, I went with my Mum for moral support. She knows what to look for when buying meat and veg. In these days of cellophane packaged supermarket goods, the market produce can seem very daunting.
After some hints from Mum and watching her in action, I went for it at A P Doherty’s. I wanted to write this review to recommend them because of the amazing deal we got. I think Ryan (the guy behind the counter) mistook my hesitancy for reluctance to spend, whereas I was trying to work out what he was talking about and whether I was getting good value.
There are loads of butchers and poultry specialists but these guys gave great value. I got so much chicken and gammon for £20 that the bag burst carrying it to the car.
