The Amble Butcher - Northumberland

Staff need education on the 2010 disacrimity act. Requesting customers to wear masks without asking if they are exempt. Apparent from that, shop looks unhygienic compared to when t rowland had the business it for years

During our vacation, we were recommended to visit this restaurant by a local kayak instructor. We were not let down! The steak pies were filled with generous portions of actual steak, which is not common in my experience. There was no gristle, and the gravy was tasty with crispy, thin pastry when warmed up. I am now debating whether traveling 120 miles for a pie is worth it.

The quality of meat and friendly service from this butchers is absolutely superb and never fails to disappoint on our annual visits to Amble. The T bone steak is the best we have ever tasted and the pies and gluten free burgers are absolutely delicious. Our visit this year was during the Covid pandemic so we were paying particular attention to the handling of the meat and cleanliness of the shop. As usual the shop was spotless and the staff ensured excellent hygiene measures were followed to minimise risk. I highly recommend a visit to this butchers and avoiding the the run of the mill supermarket selection!

We were walking up the street, passed the butcher's and did an about turn when we took in the smell of pies. So pleased we did Reiver's pie, chicken, leek and gammon pie. Wonderful.

Lucky enough to be staying right behind the butcher's shop, but our daughter had already spotted the place on line! Amazing selection of home made pies, sausage rolls etc, notably the Border Reiver, which we couldn't get enough of! Good value lunch, hot option with mash if you wish, but we had them cold with crisps on picnics. Lovely helpful and friendly staff, we ordered a couple of lamb's kidneys to collect later in the week a favourite snack of my husbands and as rare as hen's teeth!
