Hi  

Sorry to have to mention the "C" word already but the nights are drawing in and I'm sure the better organised among you are starting to think about buying presents.

If you're about to order your Turkey and other meats for Christmas please think of supporting your local butcher.

Despite being first on the list of retailers people say they regret losing from the high street, butchers are a dying breed. 

One of the very best is three times St Albans Retailer of the Year A&C Meats. You won't get better meat at a better price. And they deliver free for orders over £25!

So please think Buy Local and I promise we won't mention the "C" word again for a little while!

Have a great weekend

All the best
Huw

A&C Meats

A&C Meats is an award winning local butchers in St Albans and established game dealer selling traditional cut meats, hand made sausages, home made pies, cooked meats and deli products. With a reputation for providing a personal service and always offering top class produce, A&C Meats prepare all meats by hand, placing their order on a daily basis.


If you're looking for a REAL butcher, look no further! These guys know exactly where their products come from, give great advice on which cuts to cook etc. The shop is welcoming and friendly, and the service is second to none. I find them especially good as I am cooking for one. They are happy to weigh off small amounts, rather than supermarket 'value' packs. I like the feeling that it's an old fashioned way to shop, with personal service and a ready smile. I can't recommend the shop highly enough, just go and try them yourselves, you won't be disappointed!
