Mitchsan51 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 There was once a similar one in Grainger Market, Newcastle but I think it has gone :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the enigma Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 You don't see many butchers' shops like that, most townies would cringe at the thought of it................... any horse on offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXI KARL IXI Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah the grainger market one has gone. Shame really use to love going as a kid with my dad. I can't find any game butchers round me. The best place is waitrose sells a venison and a game mix. A couple of little butchers sell frozen rabbit but once it is defrosted it stinks and doesn't taste right.

welsh1 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I love a game butchers shop, was in our one yesterday for the months meat,walked out with a home made family size steak pie just out of the oven,three huge gammon steaks,an ox tail,a lovely piece of silverside for sunday,and a nice loin of venison which is marinading in the fridge for tonight,and a pile of diced pork,all at a good price,and great quality that don't shrink when cooked and taste great,he will cut you any size you want and recommend if you are not sure,all with a laugh and a joke.

rimfire4969 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The butchers shop in the village where I grow up was just like that. In season they had pheasant, partridge and duck hanging outside the shop as well as rabbits, pigeon and even the odd deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 There used to be a stall in the market in Newport, South Wales, who had all types of game etc for sale. Not sure if it's still there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Proper prices in Borough as well - Those lakeland rabbit are about a tenner each from memory, and pigeon are about a fiver each - Extortionate prices catering to the city and the tourists. The fruit, veg and cheese stalls are all the same as well - Completely outpriced itself and nothing more than a tourist attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 You are telling me. Pricing for everything was un-bloody-believable! Granted everything there seemed top notch with regards to quality - but still, very expensive. This should keep the deer stalkers happy: I didn't inquiret about the pigeon or rabbit prices. They had French rabbits for 4.50 each (I presume they are farmed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 There was once a similar one in Grainger Market, Newcastle but I think it has gone :/ There was more than just 1 in the Grainger Market. The most notable one was opposite where Wilko's is now. I was always facinated when walking past as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottonseed Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The last time I saw a proper butchers with rabbits, hares and winged game hanging up outside was on the High Street in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Does anyone know if it's still there? When I was a kid I used to love walking through St John's Market in Liverpool at Christmas. The whole of the huge hall was hanging with hundreds of rabbits, hares, pheasant , etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuddster Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 There was once a similar one in Grainger Market, Newcastle but I think it has gone :/ Can remember seeing that as a kid in the early 80's.always a source of fascination with all sorts of game in the fur and feather on sale. Probably too gruesome for the housewives of today. Regards Fudds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid Jim Bugby in Bedford (nr bus station) used to have game hanging outside. Was also Wren's in St Neots and either Bradshaw's or Woolf's in Huntingdon. Sadly these have all gone now! Our village butcher also used to have game for sale but I am going back 50 years ago!!! What make me laugh is the price of game!! Shoots prob get around £1.50 a brace (fresh) from the game dealer. We get £1 for a rabbit £2.50 for hares and 40p a pigeon (frozen) Thinking about it I used to get £1 for a (fresh) gutted rabbit 30 years ago!!!
