All free range and no added s**t! Yes it's more expensive but I dont care... Every so often we buy in bulk and split between the families (cow, pig etc...) but mainly the steak, bacon and rib cuts... It does work out a bit cheaper at times but the quality is next to none; Sainsburys et al are s**t when it comes to decent meat IMO

Deffo makes a difference, if a local butcher is too expensive compared to supermarkets (although most are trying as hard as they can) try a reputable meat market, we have used Birmingham meat market in the past when certain things haven't been stocked and got some real bargains. Also lucky that we can shoot round here so picked up a lot of rabbit and pigeon. Overall get a friendly butcher and you wont go far wrong

My advise would be to go and talk to one of you're local butchers, ask if he can do said pig but fresh as pork is better fresh. For you're beef ask him if he could hang you it for a week or two to mature it, also if you want better taste ask for heifer (sounds heffer) meat. It is a touch fatter than steers and bull beef, but loads more tender and very tasty.

I love Tesco but the meat is too expensive for what it is and I get double for the same price. Could swear I saw a huge packet of bacon for 9 quid being sold by one of the vendors. Either 1lb or 2lb cannot remember.
