Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the buffets, describing party spreads cooked fresh, with onion bhajis and pork pies singled out, plus loads of food and prompt delivery. Close behind are the homemade pies, including steak and kidney, chicken and mushroom, and steak with Stilton, with one reviewer calling them the best meat pies in Cardiff. The hot counter also draws repeat mentions for breakfast rolls, hot steak rolls and a pork and stuffing bap with lovely gravy, and a few add fresh meat and homemade cakes. Two reviewers are sharply critical. One reports an order that arrived wrong, with a pie freezing in the centre under hot gravy, raw stuffing, and a phone complaint passed between three staff. Another describes a breakfast of catering sausages, mostly fatty bacon, shrivelled mushrooms and poor coffee, which fell short of what they expected from a butcher. One reviewer notes the butchers cut meat to order, slicing fillet steak for a home-made Philly cheesesteak.

“Amazing service and great steak! So happy to help with cutting meat to order, worked very well for our Philly cheesesteak tonight with sliced fillet steak and also did the same a few weeks ago for our home made Chinese beef curry!”

“For a butchers i would have expected much better quality ingredients. The breakfast was cheap catering sausages, bacon that was mostly fat and not even crispy, mushrooms poorly cooked and shrivelled (were they microwaved?!), cheapest beans you could find. Do not recommend. Won't be going again. Poor coffee as well.”
