Hoptons

With all the publicity about supermarkets meat problems, I congratulated myself on not having bought meat from a supermarket for over 20 years. One of the main reasons for this is Hoptons, in Hoole. An old-fashioned family-run butchers, their meat is top quality, and they do all the butchery on the premises themselves. When I have wanted a non-standard item (e.g. some older free-range chickens for coq au vin), they have been delighted to have a challenge and sourced them for me with ease. Almost all the meat is local, and traceable, and at Christmas there was a queue 100 metres long, whilst another butcher, directly opposite, languished with no customers. Highly recommended.
