I travel from Cannock in Staffordshire to use Beedhams, my father and i have been using it for about 18 months now and the meat is the best that we have had, and we've tried quite a few butchers over the years. Johnny, Steve and the other staff are top blokes and women, can't leave Carol out. Ultra friendly, make us feel really welcome every time we go, which is about once a month. Can't recommend highly enough.

The enthusiasm starts with Johnny who is so passionate about the meat produce he sells. What there is to no about meat, this guy knows it. Once you have shopped at Beedhams there is no going back. Johnny as a excellent team with him that makes them the best butchers around.

Ist class meat sold by friendly people who know their trade. What more could you want?

The staff are so professional and helpful a visit to the shop is a real pleasure. In addition to that the shop supplies my private day nursery delivering to us each week superb meats that are of first class quality. Johnny and his staff helped us host a parents food tasting event last summer giving up their time to help us promote to our parents the quality of the food provided at the nursery. Johnny is a very special person and his shop is really important to our community.

We're fairly new customers but are completely converted, won't be buying supermarket meat again! Johnny and the boys are really helpful, the sausages are excellent and the chicken breasts are huge!!!!

KtShortcake KtShortcake Posted 05 Jul 2008 10:50 PM

Really fantastic, tasty meat that cooks to perfection! They give great advice if you are unsure of how to cook a certain cut. I have recommended this butcher to lots of friends and family. I never, ever buy meat anywhere else now, and could never go back to buying supermarket meat again!

We moved to the UK from the US, and found Beedham's in our neighborhood. WOW! Johnny and his crew are the BEST. We have lived in a number of places around the world, and it is safe to say that he provides world class meats. We will miss his store (and him) when we eventually return to the States.

rayfamily63 rayfamily63 Posted 05 Jul 2008 7:24 PM

Johnny and the boys are totally dedicated to their art. First class service and knowledge and a true desire to supply only the very best. When I wanted to create my own sausage for my delicatessen, there was only one place to go! The whole team got involved to bring my ideas to life with the resultant sausage far exceeding my own high expectations. Properly aged and hung meat, air dried hams and cured delights, home smoked bacon and free range chickens and the best selection of sausages around, just try Johnny once, and you'll never even look at supermarket meat again. Oh.... and don't forget to try the Philo's Sausages!!!!

"You are what you eat!" John and his team provide a quality of service and produce that no supermarket could ever match, at great value. From rhubarb sausages to Hungarian cured meats, your senses will be enthused. No pretentions - just excellent locally sourced produce and service which will make you want to return time and time again. Try it. John - a true food hero!!!

What an absolute privilege it is to have Beedhams on our doorstep. Superb meats are guaranteed - free-range, fresh and full of flavour - but the Beedhams 'shopping experience' goes way beyond that. A friendly welcome, a chat, ideas on how to cook what you are buying and suggestions for what will work best in that recipe you've fancied trying. Great food and great customer service, what more could you ask for!

LizS99 LizS99 Posted 25 Jun 2008 7:51 PM

I've used J T Beedham for a year or so, the meat has been excellent, but what really makes it such a pleasure is the service; polite, concerned with a passion so amazing. The passion starts with Johnny and just runs through and through. Everyone I talk to about the meat and the service always has positive things to say, if everyone in Britain cared as much as they do, we’d have the best reputation in the world.

If you are person who values traditional values: pride of craftmanship, an eagerness to really know and help their customers, and an unwillingness to cut any corners whatsoever in the pursuit of quality, then JT Beedhams is the butcher for you. Johnny came up through the 'old school' of starting as an apprentice boy to one of the best master butchers in Nottingham, and has grown into being one of the leading butchers in the UK, winning a number of prizes along the way. It is not hard to see why. His shop always has exceptionally high quality meats on offer, but also a number of innovative selections based on his experience combining British, Contintental, and especially Hungarian traditions. You will go there for the meats, but the honest enthusiam he and his staff show for the customer will make it even more of a pleasure.

First started shopping here 4 or 5 years ago after getting thoroughly fed up of 'supermarket "meat"'! Johnny spent at least half an hour telling us where he sources his meats from and all about his products etc etc. We've never gone back to supermarket "meat" and have recommended Beedhams to all and sundry!! The staff are second to none, nothing is too much trouble.

Motowngal Motowngal Posted 06 Jun 2008 5:10 PM

Enthusiasm, generosity, service, outstanding meat at its prime, wonderful imaginative curing of many kinds. Just some of the reasons I don't buy meat from anywhere else though there must be 20 nearer outlets.

spoofb spoofb Posted 29 May 2008 11:42 PM

This place is about 35 miles from my restaurant but it is worth the travel Johnny is has so much passion for his produce and it shows in the results making my job easy finding the best i can get

best sausages and burgers around, all the staff are very helpful and know everything there is to know about meat and the best ways to cook it they also have a great range of recipes for you to try.

kaz136 kaz136 Posted 28 May 2008 4:36 PM

Not only are the whole team passionate about what they sell, but they're always happy to volunteer their favourite cooking methods. Its the only shop I know where the question "How would you serve the {amaging} curry sausages, then?" inspires a lengthy and heated debate. These guys LOVE their food, and this shop is one of the main reasons I like living where I do.

Kate159 Kate159 Posted 27 May 2008 10:12 PM

Friendly knowledgeable staff - have used Beedham for over thirty years - very helpful with information

Jane173 Jane173 Posted 27 May 2008 12:42 PM

Apart from the good old fashioned customer service provided by staff who know their trade, the meats are fabulous. Their beef is superb, flavoursome and succulent. The shop has an incredible atmosphere full of people who care about what they eat and more importantly care where the food is sourced.

Dozzeh Dozzeh Posted 25 May 2008 12:00 PM

Fantastic meat, friendly and helpful service and sausages that are a must for any fry-up. All that and a cute young butcher on Sherwood high street!

Liz185 Liz185 Posted 22 May 2008 2:20 PM

We have been reminded of what meat should taste like. Great advice.Great service.June and Mike Morris

NANNY4 NANNY4 Posted 05 Jul 2007 10:55 AM

Genuine people, genuine cuts, the best you can buy. It has turned my missus back in the direction of eating meat in England and we do not buy now from anywhere else. They will always be my butchers. The best thing that came out of Nottingham since Robin.

Ozymuk Ozymuk Posted 02 Jul 2007 8:51 AM

Passion and care. Passion for creating the best meat in the midlands. My father orders bacon to be sent out to Hong Kong, it is that good! Care for the livestock at source and for the proccess to get to the plate. I don't buy meat from anywhere else.

Lordcubby Lordcubby Posted 01 Jul 2007 8:58 AM

Gold Award winning sausages (I recommend the Lincolnshire!) home dry cured bacon (no water!) air dried ham (used by Sat Bains on TV!) and free range meat from local farms (delicious!). All this....and good old fashioned service with a smile! This is why I shop at Beedhams! Keep up the great work Johnny and team!

Margie4 Margie4 Posted 29 Jun 2007 7:20 PM

The team at Beedham and Sons is second to none - knowing the meaning of good old fashioned service, combined with quality food. Johnny has a true passion for his profession -knowing the industry inside and out he is able to offer expert advice not only about the cuts of meat /sausages, hams , bacon etc but also how to prepare them. There's a great, lively atmosphere in the shop and even outside if you choose to book a BBQ !!

sav35 sav35 Posted 28 Jun 2007 9:43 PM

Johnny and his team provide the best service of any butchers in the area. They created the silver awardwinning Panthers Sizzlers sausages for the local ice hockey team and the players and fans alike enjoy visiting his store because of the vast range of super meats and the friendly service. Five star meat from a five star crew.

gmthegm gmthegm Posted 28 Jun 2007 7:50 PM

As well as being a first class butcher in every respect John has an overwhelming desire to please every customer by supplying them with first quality local meats and products tailored to their own requirements, his business continues grow from strength to strength and as a retired butcher I appreciate the effort that he makes to supply nothing but the best!!

JOHNNYS HOME MADE PARMA HAM IS JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.

KEV5 KEV5 Posted 27 Jun 2007 5:57 PM

There is no where better to go for the best meat epecially the sausages. The customer service is second to none. We do not shop anywhere else for out meat

mandylipgloss mandylipgloss Posted 27 Jun 2007 5:08 PM

Johnny Pusztai, an experienced Hungarian butcher makes great use of his skills in the art of butchery, and from his award winning sausages, which took golds and silvers in previous sausage contests to his original homemade burgers, this new and upcoming butcher is going to take the catering world by storm, that is for sure. Not only is he an extremely experienced butcher but also a private caterer for his own business called bbq unique.

Nick010 Nick010 Posted 21 Jun 2007 4:05 PM

Quality meat at quality price. Sausages to die for and a great double act to keep you entertained when you are being so well served and looked after by John, the "owner" and Les the "guru"!!!

magnificent magyar magnificent magyar Posted 15 Jun 2007 10:01 PM

Johnie, the owner & butcher is second to none in his customer service as well as selling organic meat that tastes like it used to taste years ago. His sausages, air dried ham, burgers etc etc are full of good meat & not made up from gristle & rubbish but are wonderful in their own right, this shop stands out a mile for it's very high quality produce & service not to be found anywhere else.

liz 140 liz 140 Posted 28 May 2007 4:25 PM
