I've started this post with a picture of Chris Webb's excellent dry, home-cured treacle bacon. It's one of the best butchers I've ever been to (and I've been to some excellent ones).
Above this Witton Street shop (the business was established in 1929):
a sign says "Maintain thine honour and extend thy fame"!
People come from quite a distance to this traditional butchers.
It's a shop that will sell you cuts like shin beef and feather steak
which are cheaper than cuts you see in other butchers, and very tasty if you cook them right. They do of course sell all the more common cuts as well.
Webb's tomato sausages are very popular:
and we love their home-cured treacle bacon:
The shop is split in half, and next door you can buy their equally famous pies and pasties:
There's Webb's own Jubilee Pork Pie:
and we're rather partial to their lamb and mint pies:
There's also bread from Harrisons Quality Bakers. which would be great with their home-made potted beef:
