Amazing local butcher. Wide range of meats at a good price and great quality. The butchers are helpful and skilled and friendly counter staff.

This is a great butcher. The butcher who's usually there gave me a couple of great tips for how to do steaks and roasts. I couldn't be more grateful.

I didn't WANT to move out of Tufnell Park, but such is life. Meat NW5 opened shop about a month prior to my lease ending, so I got a wonderful taste of what I'm missing out on. The shop itself is nice and open and doesn't feel cluttered/cramped like a lot of butchers: instead of having a traditional butchery setup with the counter dividing butcher and customer, the most of the meat is displayed in a counter at the front of the shop. It's nice not to feel pinned in; at the same time, it probably makes queuing a bit chaotic during busy periods. There's also a deli section featuring a nice assortment of sauces, condiments, pasta et al. The meat itself is great quality (and all free-range too if you're into that) - I got to try their rib-eye steak and pork chops, both of which were excellent. I could have cut my steak up with a child's arts and crafts scissors, it was deliciously textured; as for the flavour, I would have preferred a touch more mature, but this was definitely one of the best home-cooked steaks I've had. The pork chops I had were also great - hefty and flavourful. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try out anything else, but I'm sure I will do when I move back oop north (hopefully). In terms of price and quality, it's definitely up there with somewhere like HG Walter (my former local) - it's not that much more expensive than the free range selection at a supermarket meat counter, plus they have a decent selection of cheaper cuts too. If I ever needed an incentive to return to Tufnell Park...

I tried a really good selection of what they sell and everytime I was really disappointed! First time I go for some charcuterie. The ham is A-ok even if I think I had in one slice my weekly dose of salt...The paté is totally disgusting. Second time I tried the burger beef steak,it tastes of nothing at all! But I have no other option in the neighborhood so I got back a third time and tried some really expensive matured beef and... The beef tastes of nothing! The decor and atmosphere are really nice but this is just an illusion. Never again!

How lucky do you have to be to have a friendly, knowledgeable, patient butcher near your home?! The quality of the lamb here varies from very good to amazing. There aren't many options for cold cuts but it's not what I go there for anyway. I love that they know where the meat comes from and that it's from local, organic farms. The butchers are very helpful, cutting the meat exactly as you need it, and the staff in general is always friendly and smiling.

Meat NW5 is literally the dream. One of the first of many hipster/posh stores to open up on Fortess Rd, Kentish Town (which clearly shows the gentrification of the area) this store has amazing quality food, staff and service. I will frequently pop in here for a nice piece of fresh meat, whether it's a fancy steak, posh sausages, or flavourful marinated chicken. You can watch the butchers do their thing on blocks right at the front of the store, and they really know their stuff. This place is rammed with experts, and they'll remember you, which is a lovely touch. They also have a wall full of seriously delicious wines, with sample tastings every weekend. Their staff know exactly which wine goes best with each cut of meat, and you can guarantee every bottle has been carefully selected. Pick up a little something extra from their tasty range of cheeses, deli items and condiments, and go have a great night in!

Meat NW5 is like the ultimate middle class / posh, yummy meat shop. A while ago my husband and I decided to eat less meat, but when we *do* eat meat, we want to make sure that it is really good quality (as happy animals seem to become tastier meat...) This means we'd much prefer to buy from a butcher, rather than the supermarket. We popped in to buy a shoulder of lamb to roast when my mum came to visit for mother's day. The joint was really, really tasty (and pricey - £18.67 for enough for 4 people.) We also bought a couple of small pies because it was pi-day (ham hock & peas, as well as lamb, chorizo & chickpeas) They were both delicious, but at £3.95 each, I'm not sure if I'd buy them again. The great things: - This shop is pretty...it is well set out with delicious food in all directions. - The staff were all really friendly and helpful. - It is full of really tasty things (not just meat! They have a good delicatessen counter as well...) - They have a tub of lollipops for children when families come shopping, which is a really sweet touch. The less-great: - The prices make Waitrose seem cheap(!) - The queuing system seems a bit chaotic. To be honest, I do really like bargains, so I'm not going to abandon the other lovely butchers shop on York Way (it is a little more traditional, and quite a lot cheaper...) but I have a feeling I'll come back here when we fancy something as a treat.

Lovely shop and very helpful staff but I ate the onglet yesterday and spent most of the night on the toilet so I won't be going back in a hurry
