Clean and friendly butcher shop with catering service. Prime cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and veal. All kinds of sausages, condiments and produce as well. I always stop at Franz's when I'm in Peterborough! I got some good advice from the butcher and made a killer lamb stew yesterday - the frozen lamb was tasty and unbelievably tender!
