I now live in England but go home to Carrickfergus as often as I can. I always get all my meat and bread at this shop to bring back, as there is not another butchers as excellent as Jacksons.

Can't find fault with Jacksons butchers and bakery. Exceptional standards of meat and all you have to do is ask and they will go out of their way to get you what you want. The bakery area cannot be passed without lifting something. My kids would do anything for a slice of their boiled cake!!!

The meat is of the highest quality.This is because there meat comes from their own farm.The shop is laid out really well and all the staff are very helpfull. The fellas that work there are not bad looking fellas.One in particular flirts with all the single mums.I dont need to say names he knows who he is.

Jacksons produces undoubtly the finest tasting meat that I have eaten anywhere in the UK including in the finest London resturants such as the Ritz, the Oak Room and the Ivy.

I love the food at Jacksons, fresh meat, bread and veg. A fabulous friendly place to shop. The "boys" flirt with the female customers outrageously and this is part of the appeal!!
