How much cheaper is the market then the online shop?

Depends on the price on the day but I got USDA brisket for £5/kg not long ago for example.

There is an NCP right next to it, it's only £1.50 if you are a market customer and leave by 5am I think it is. I got there for 3am and it was buzzing and worth the early start just for the atmosphere as well as the great meat.

The Australian Grain fed rump, British Bavette, mince and iberico ribs are sensational. So is the Uruguayan rump.

Just wandering if there was anyone else...


Turner and George will deliver free in London or go and see them and have a nose about.
Failing that get yourself to Smithfield early one morning and go and see Tom Hixson and get stuff a lot cheaper than online.

How early to see Tom Hixon?

Very good deal.

I meant to ask, does one bargain at Smithfields or is it fixed prices?

There are many butchers as you know it depends how much stock they have but most of them will have slightly different prices ask the question if it's cow meat or steer I know most of the butchers in the market I will call and get an average price and post it
