I am a child of the Tesco generation, bought up on brand-power and megastores which are larger than some football stadia. Food shopping can be a pretty boring experience because of these leviathans. I must say, however, I was happy to go in a proper butcher’s shop today!
Parish’s isn’t one to buy into brand power or such. Meat on display speaks for itself to anyone who likes a bit of meat; no euphemism intended. The window display had a selection of different animals on offer but inside, the display fridges by the counter seemed a bit bare. It may have been it was getting towards the end of the day and it was perfect barbecue weather though resulting in a meat buying frenzy!
The staff were happy to serve all customers, unlike in some big name high street retailers. This is because this is their life, not just their job. It is their profession. And, surprisingly, I found most of the things on offer were cheaper than the only supermarket in the Barnet area; Waitrose. And were probably fresher too.
W T Parish, the butchers on High Street Barnet, gets four stars from me. It could have been five stars if I had seen some sausages (maybe I’m not observant enough, but I didn’t see any), and no euphemism intended once again…!
