This must be on the best butchers in Oxfordshire. Patrick Strainge’s sausages have won several awards with its ‘Bampton Royal’ variety. The selection of meat is excellent and all from local farms a gem. And they just won another award for their amazing sausages well worth a detour! RE-EDITED13÷3÷13 Sadly since Patrick’s retirement the place has changed a great deal. While the quality of the meat hasn’t, the service certainly has. When under Patrick nothing was ever too much trouble and he always had a smile for everyone. His successor’s team gives exactly the opposite impression. Dare not ask for something that isn’t on display or may need preparing, more than just slicing, and you will be greeted with polar iciness at best. Sic transit gloria mundi
