It is good to support local food producers, grocers, butchers and fishmongers. We are lucky in Hampshire to have good butchers in particular.
 
Its the same here. I have one good butcher a mile or so out of town. Nothing at all in Maidstone. As for fishmongers...

We go to this butcher on a regular basis as his beef is second to non and they are now getting the recognition they deserve.

A few years ago we bought a forerib of beef for our Christmas dinner, it was sublime, the best beef I have ever tasted. Their sausages and burgers are also really good, excellent quality and full of flavour.

Brilliant - I love Longhorn beef. It's great to support small local producers like this. It might cost a bit more, but it's worth it for the quality - just have it a bit less often then it's even more of a treat! It's also good to keep the money circulating in the local economy.

That surprises me. I guess there are benefits to living in the rural backwoods - we are blessed with many good butchers, farms shops, even a couple of good fishmongers, considering we are about as far from the sea as you can get.

Actually there prices are not far off Sainsburys so not too expensive, they are definitely a treat :happy:
