  • positive review  my son popped in today and got some belly pork and sausage. He said he didn't buy sausage as the man was very chatty and he felt embrassed asking for some after he'd paid ?, so very friendly staff and the belly pork was delicious ?. I'll let you know about the sausages when we get some. definitely be back.
