John May Family Butcher

I visited this butchers shop in the hope to get a nice joint of top rib for our Sunday roast for around £20-£25 (as I have from a different butchers before). When I walked in there was a man already serving someone so whilst waiting I had a look at the joints on show. I wasn't keen on them so when it was my turn to be served I asked for a joint of top rib and said I wanted to pay £20-£25 for it. I was all set to walk out as he didn't have what I wanted but then he said he would go and look out the back for one for me! When he came back he quickly held up a joint and said if I bone and roll this will this be big enough?! I said yes knowing he had my price I wanted to pay in mind!?! It probably took about 5 minutes for him to bone and roll the joint so when he put it on the scales and said £35 I almost felt like I HAD to have it and did. I can honestly say that this was the WORST joint we have ever had, it must have had £10 of fat on it!! It was so light in colour and flavourless that it could have been pork for all I know!!! I will NEVER EVER use this butchers again, and would never recommend.

Good quality meat at very reasonable prices. Good service. Recommended.

I have been using Mays for some time now and I live in the Midlands, I recently asked them to smoke some beef brisket for me so I could make some smokey burgers, they smoked a joint for me in their own smoker and then ground it up for me, it made the most amazing smokey burgers, they are extremely helpful and I always buy their minted lamb sausages, absolutely fabulous, well worth a visit to stock up your freezer, highly recommend.

Good friendly service with good local meats .

Fantastic,friendly and welcoming staff. Huge range of meats!

Popped in to buy lamb and saw Devon Pasties which were bought on impulse. Not cheap, but were filled to the brim with quality ingredients. A substantial meal on their own. Try one

We travelled from Essex Romford, stayed in South Molton for a break away. I got to say one of the best high quality meat butcher's around. Eveytime we brought meat it was fresh snd clean. Also the staff were very kind and friendly.

simply the best, great cuts of meat and great service

Rude,unwilling to help out. Don't he think he was happy working a saturday

Only ordered Xmas meats today. Service excellent
