Ok, so roughly £5/kg for pork shoulder, and 2.20/kg for the ribs.

As a matter of interest, I took some pictures of the ribs on offer at booker last time I was there:

Where from Dave?

[Saucy Pig]

Bone in shoulder £3 / kg
Brisket £4.90 / kg
Ribs @ £3 per rack

All from local abattoir. Have built up a decent relationship with them, they know me when I go in and will even deliver when I spend over £50

Wow - that's really good Saucy Pig - where are you located?

[noxskuses]

That's some decent prices, especially as I'm guessing the meat is all British.

Must be a big abbatoir to sell meat as well. The ones I used for my pigs just did the slaughtering and butchering.

You're Stoke-On-Trent way are you Saucy Pig?

I buy from a nearby butcher - High Street Meat Market. I was very surprised it was so cheap when I first went down, as it's in the middle of a big shopping centre (next to a very large fishmongers, also equally well priced!)
