Its a small family run butcher and deli that makes authentic fresh take away pasta, pizza and chicken every day. Its a bit pricey, at £3.20 a portion but they pack the takeaway box you get full and it's full of varied meats from the butcher including ham, chicken and beef. The pasta is made from a thyme tomato sauce and they offer a vegetarian option too.
The service is good, its not all smiles and conversation but that's because this place is basically got a line out the door between 12 and 2 with demand and they are really focused on getting everyone served quickly which they do really well.
I know another review mentioned bad hygiene but they've taken steps to improve this now with having all employees wearing rubber gloves when they serve you.
My only criticism for this place is the lack of seating. Instead it has four high tables opposite the butcher with no seats and that you'll be lucky to get a place at.
