Michael’s Meats is hands down the best local butcher I’ve ever used. The quality of the meat is consistently outstanding — fresh, tender, and full of flavour. Whether I’m buying chicken breasts for a quick weekday meal or something special for a Sunday roast, I know I can rely on Michael’s to deliver top-notch cuts every time. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to offer cooking tips or help with special requests. You can tell they genuinely care about their products and their customers. Everything is well packaged, clean, and responsibly sourced. Highly recommend if you care about quality, service, and supporting a great local business!

I’ve been coming to Michael’s Meat Shop for over 10 years and it’s hands down the best in Brixton. The meat is always fresh, the prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is excellent. The team is friendly, reliable and always happy to help. Wouldn’t go anywhere else – highly recommend!

Michael not only has high quality fresh produce and authentic seasoning but excellent customer service - he went above and beyond to help us with our order of freshly cut washed and seasoned meat ready for catering a family gathering. So so happy with the goods, value for money and the service. Will be ordering from you again, thanks!
