I love butchers

It makes such a change being able to discuss what you are buying with someone who knows what they are selling. The staff are very friendly and if in doubt ask. They'll recommend something if you're not sure, you can order things in, ask for recipes and they even know how long it takes to cook. Compare with your local plastic pale meat you meet at a supermarket. Also known as the staff. OK so it's just a butcher but as our high streets clone themselves on an ever more frequennt basis these places are worth supporting. Its not pre packaged, bland supermarket meat. Go here. Eat and be merry.
Support your independent butchers

The Northcote road is well known for its independent retailers. This is one of them. Not for much longer maybe.
Hennessys are butchers selling fresh organic produce that are produced where possible organically and in the UK.
They know what they are talking about and will advise you on cooking times and even recommend alternatives or suggest cooking. Makes shopping fun. If you fancy eating some game - ask these guys.
A wide array of meats steaks and sausages. Prices vary but a joint of lamb costs around £14. Their smoked bacon is also very nice.
If you can, shop here. The landlords are raising the rents on the Northcote road so no doubt it'll disappear to be replaced by another bland supermarket who doesn't care what you cook as long as you buy it from them.
