yep, would be helpful if you quote prices so people know what they are committing to rather than reeling off a list of what you can offer.

[Jeremy]

Surely market prices are variable?

[Lowlander]

Well a benchmark then (I know roughly I can get a brace of pheasants for ?5 or a kilo prime beef mince for ?7 either in one of the local butchers)

[markymarket]

Hi all. Prices are slightly variable, weather for fish, and seasonal/demand for meat. However I agree, so here follows so benchmark prices.

Also, I only buy the very best quality, so only comparable to our good butchers, which, I agree we a great choice of in this area.

Mince lean stek is ?6/kg. Free range Cornfed chickens 1.5kg are ?5 each. Organic chickens ?9each1.5kg. Welsh Lamb is around ?11/kg

For leg and chops/cutlets.(fab). Beef is brilliant,well hung and tasty. Forerib is ?14/kg, great for Sunday roast. Topside (totally diff class to the supermarket stuff) ?10/kg. Ribeye steak ?17/kg, sirlion ?14/kg Pork (gloucester or berkshire breeds)is ?5//kg chops,belly,joints etc...

I can buyany hams, bacon ,or sausages. Stewing steak is good at ?8/kg. Kidneys/liver all very cheap. Duck breasts are v popular ?5 for pack of two. Quail,pigeon,pheasant...chicken thighs are70p each. Chicken breast fillets are ?6/kg.

Crabs are v v fresh around ?6 each, mussels ?5/kg. Scallops ?2 each in shells or 70p prepped. I can buy good dressed crab for ?5 each

Flat fish/smoked fish around ?11/kg. Great small turbot ?25. Whole sides of salmon (1.7kg) ?20. Razor clams ?10./kg/bunch. Squid?8/kg. King size prawns ?14/kg raw or cooked... great sushi tuna?18/kg.

All is fresh so supplies are variable to weather!!!!

Hope this helps. Any question please ring 07741106009 or post.

These are your prices which are going to be more expensive than if we went direct to smithfield.

So why don't you go to Smithfield then instead of trying to undermine markymarket's service?

[Pickle]

I would hope they're more expensive than going direct to Smithfield - not many services these days that provide goods at wholesale prices delivered to your door! The prices sound very reasonable to me given they include delivery.

Totally.. Isn't this how services work? It's cheaper to cut your own hair but not many of us do it. Sounds like a good service to me.

[markymarket]

As mark pointed out in the guardian review... anyone can do it,but who wants to get up at 2am.

Also mark has a great reputation with traders in the market, therefore gets the best cuts,and slightly better

Prices than joe public. I have been very luck to have been intoduced to smithfield and billingsgate thru mark white.

In fact, I Am now setting up on my own thanks to marks early guidance so I need help to think up a new trading name... the winner will get a free Sunday

Roast joint of their choice next weekend. I've only come up with [email protected] ? Is this crap?!,
