London Larder: Meat, naturally (NW3)

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.
