Placed an order over the phone for an uncooked ham and black pudding
Order couldnt be found when I went to pick up and had to be prepared on the spot. Staff didnt realize there was a difference between blood sausage and black pudding (even though I confirmed their understanding when placing the order that I wanted black pudding and not blood sausage). The staff were clearly frustrated and quite curt with me and borderline bickering with each other. It didnt seem to be directed at me so I didnt mind so much but it was embarrassing to witness.
Ended up leaving with nothing that I

I was tasked with preparing the meat for Christmas dinner with my girlfriends family this year. Wanting to make a solid and lasting impression, I decided it would be in my best interest to head to my local butcher and grab something impressive. Eyeing up the case, I decided a prime rib roast would do the trick. Certainly her parents and siblings would be in awe as I pulled such a magnificent joint from the oven, hes a real keeper! Etc Etc. Rib roast please, 2 bones! I said across the counter. One of the butchers said he had the perfect roast already cut in the back, and rushed off

My rating is based on an associate who has a very unprofessional and disrespectful demeanor for working in an environment that requires interaction with the public on service and quality. With the price of meats today the sales per person can be quite high and when we get short, curt and unprofessional service it makes the customer feel like their patronage is unwanted and undesirable, so that is exactly what we can do. Find some place else that has associates working for them that enjoys having customers, no matter what time of the day it is!!

I decided to come here to Windsor meats during pregnancy to try and mediate the possibility of getting food poisoning as it can be very serious in pregnancy. I have previously expressed concern in store about staff during covid half wearing masks in store and putting the mask back on whilst wearing gloves and failing to change the glove before touching the meat, this happened a few times before I had to say something, the staff obliged to change their gloves before handling the produce, and were polite about it so I continued to go there. I purchased a chipotle lime chicken skewer yesterday and

Cant find a harder working staff that is as consistent, knowledgeable, and friendly! Having shopped at each of their locations over the years, their selection and quality ceases to amaze me. Roast chicken and roast beef are ever crowd pleasers in our family. Thank you for your service, and maintaining such high standards in working tirelessly through tough times. Highly recommend!
