What's not to like here? Family-owned, and a real local favourite, this shop has been in business since the late 1800s, and has recently expanded. In addition to high quality meats, they offer breads, pastries, and a range of other local specialties. Expect excellent prices, old-fashioned good customer service and an incredible meal to throw on the barbeque.
