I always think of getting meat from the butcher as special occasion thing. That really shouldn't be the case, for too many reasons to list. So instead, I'll tell you why you should go here.\n\nIt's very reasonably priced. A whole rib of beef (which I shared as a steak, like a caveman), was \u00a39.50, which is extremely reasonable.  The meat was juicy and tender - one of the tastiest steaks I've ever had. The produce in Michael Field appears to be very high quality.\n\nI'm a big fan of a personal service, something you'll never get with the droids working in the big supermarkets (Disclaimer: I'm not claiming the people are droids, I'm saying the ethos of large chain supermarkets is often fairly impersonal. Lawsuit averted). Michael Field is a very friendly, helpful man. It's little things like that that make you want to go again.
