BBQ packs have been flying out of the door thanks to blue skies and summer sun, but steaks are popular all year round at what has been hailed Nottinghamshire's best butcher's shop. Our recent poll, asking Nottinghamshire Live readers to vote for their favourite, put a farm shop butchery counter at the top.
Six shops were vying for the glory of being crowned the best in the county. Barlows in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, G. Kemp & Son in Aspley, Robin Tuxford in Netherfield, A. Wright in Carrington and Alan Knight in Clifton were strong contenders but it was Spring Lane Farm Shop in Mapperley that triumphed.
Robin Tarn, 71, of Calverton, said: "It's brilliant. I shop here regularly. The beef is cheaper here and better quality than that you get in Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, everywhere. I've been coming here a lot of years.
