If you want really good meat go to Phil Tuckey at the Farm Shop, Larges 
Farm, Back Lane.  The postal address is Meriden, but it's actually less than 
a mile (at a guess) from where the Massey works used to be near the junction 
of Banner and Broad Lanes.  Carry on along Broad Lane away from the city and 
take the right fork after the end of the 30 limit.  Soon there's an entrance 
to Barnacle Farm on the left,  Larges Farm is the second driveway on the 
right after that.

We have been going there for over a year now and never had anything that is 
less than good and usually it's excellent.  You haven't lived until you have 
had pork from a Berkshire pig - or Ronaldsay lamb.

Aubrey Allan is rather good in Leam.  Are they in Cov too?

I can second that. Their gloucester old spot oak smoked bacon is to
die for.

I would also strongly recommend the butchers on Meriden green as well.
Their stuff is really good, especially their cumberland bangers.

Put not your faith in Multimap.  The shop is the second on the right after 
Barnacle Farm unless they've moved.

Tell you tomorrow if they have.

Second on the right it is.  I suspect Multimap supply the data for one or 
two of the more imaginative satnav devices that some people put their faith 
in.

Thanks for the recommendation. I took your advice, and we had a really
good leg of lamb on Saturday night. I shall be going back!
