I have been a regular customer for the past 2 years. Good produce I won't lie but every time I have entered into this shop such, poor rude service. The tall older man that I always get is so bloody rude!! Went in on Monday morning the shop was upside down with very little meat available. This man literally blamed me that I came in at the wrong time and they were busy on Sunday. If you are that busy close on Monday so the shop looks professional. You probably won't even care about loosing a customer anyway.
