Off Hampstead’s busy high street, you’ll find one of NW3’s best kept secret, Meat, naturally. One of a handful of permanent stores of the Hampstead Community Market, this neighbourhood butcher specialises in organic and natural meat from British producers. With a commitment to 100% traceability, all meat is sourced from small farmers mainly from Gloucester and across the British Isles. Seasonal salt marsh lamb comes from a coastal farm near Caernardon Wales, where the sea washed fields of sea lavender, samphire, sorrel and thrift gives it a distinctive flavour. Scottish beef is matured on the bone for a minimum of 28 days and is sourced from a traditionally reared Aberdeen Angus and Hereford Cross breed- grass fed in the north-east of Scotland. Cuts are prepared to order. You’ll find the daily specials handwritten on a blackboard as well as farm-free eggs and a range of condiments. A home delivery service is available to those who live locally. With all the values of a traditional butcher, Meat, naturally is a wonderful find and a true local to this leafy village in London's NW3.

Home is where the heart is and for The Hampstead Butcher and Providore it’s NW3. This butcher, delicatessen, charcuterie and wine merchant is a true local favourite, offering quality produce and home-away-from-home meals in this area of leafy London. At its butcher, pride in provenance means that you’ll find meat sourced from the best of English farms. All of its meat is free-range, traceable and ethically reared like its pork that comes from St Margaret's Farm in Suffolk. For convenience, meat can be ordered by the box and home delivered. We like the Butchers Block Special for Two and the summer perfect, BBQ Feast box. Ready-meals make for the perfect night-out at home. It’s the closest we’ve found to home cooking. The wine list is considered making this providore and butcher, a true neighbour - always there just when you need them for a meal and bottle of wine or two.

Barbecoa was always going to grab attention. As the brainchild of Jamie Oliver and US Adam Perry Lang, its promise of fire-based cookery was destined to be a big hit with the City. But it is the butchery that has long-held our attention, with its front-of-house artisan skills and ultra-modern glass and steel interior. Located in one of London’s busiest centres - One New Change, there was never any pretense that it would feel like your village butcher. However, with its meat sourced from select farms across the UK and aged on site, it has more than delivered as a champion of the best of British. Beef is hand-selected by veteran Jim Taylor. Lamb comes from a single farm in East Sussex with all the flavour of grass-rearing on the South Downs. Pork is courtesy of Plantation Pigs; poultry from celebrated Temple Farm, Essex. Meat is cut to order and for those wanting to explore the art of butchery, Barbecoa offers master classes from The Whole Hog through to chicken and lamb chopping, where you can learn how to de-bone a chook and break down a whole lamb. Serious butchery in the heart of London. 82 Watling Street, EC4M 9BX Tel. 020 3375 5553
