With supermarkets taking a large share of the meat market, it is refreshing to see a traditional butcher in action. John Rakowski, the owner of Rode Meats, is far from traditional, being a former Olympic boxer and torchbearer. Apart from the award-winning sausages, the Christmas hams at Rode Meats are legendary. The friendly staff happily advise on the best quality meats or size needed, with chicken breasts, roast beef, steaks, marinates and crumbed veal all popular.
