J W Mettrick & Son

On a Saturday afternoon visit to Glossop we went on a hunt for some fine fine food — with my wife already declaring how good Mettrick’s supposedly was when we drove past in the car.
Another fine local business institution — a proper butchers shop with 3 – 4 different counter areas selling everything from meats to pies, fresh bakery bread and supplies to keep you going such as chutneys and jams.
Now I’m the sort of the guy that come even a hint of chilliness in the air has to revert to Sunday lunch being ‘Full English Roast’ time and now we’re into mid October a juicy piece of beef of pork was on my shopping list! I was impressed that at Mettrick’s there were so many options in terms of what you could buy with me performing a full 180 and going for some oxtail for (1kg was £8 Oct 2014) a stew (my half made up West Indian oxtail slow cooked stew was awesome by the way…)
The staff were friendly, said they could pretty much order anything I ever wanted in which was really refreshing in this day and age of cheap supermarket meat.
A definite winner — hopefully I’ll be picking up some bacon and burgers next time I’m in town!

one of the best butchers around, the meat is lovely, and sourced locally, the staff are so help, even giving you cokking advice

The wife says it’s fab I think the take away menu is fab ! Bacon butty for a good price yum yum, very nice!
