Following comment from a blogger and keen to pursue one of my own interests – food; the porthole took a walk past the Market Place and along to 53 High Street to the newly opened Mac Burnham “Traditional Family Butcher”. It is great to see a small business starting out and returning a previously redundant butchers shop to life.I visited at the end of the day, hence no meat in the window when the photo was taken. The service was friendly and welcoming. The butcher very informative, providing me with in-depth knowledge of kidney flavours’, bizarre I know but that was what I asked about.
The sausages I purchased where excellent, meaty and well flavoured. The kidney, well I am still not converted but you have to try these things and I can’t blame the butcher for my likes and dislikes. While I was in the shop a lady was collecting a substantial amount of bacon for her guest house, all hand sliced and thick cut; one assumes she must be pleased as she ordered lots more too.
This friendly little enterprise needs our support; we need good local businesses in our town centres to keep them alive. Next time you fancy that full English or your traditional Sunday lunch why not pop in and see Mac Burnham “Traditional Family Butcher”. Personally portole wish him well and will be back for some bacon soon.

One of my earliest memories is going with my dad to get the Sunday joint from the butchers on a saturday morning. I'll be popping in this week. We need more shops like these and they will only survive if we support them.
