Broughs Butchers Ltd

If you're staying near Ainsdale and need some proper meat, Broughs Butchers on Station Road is where it's at. Forget the supermarket stuff, this is the real deal. They've got a 4.7 star rating on Google from 27 reviews, so it's not just me saying it.

They've been around for years and the quality is always spot on. Good selection of sausages, steaks, and they'll even cut things to order if you ask. I always grab my Sunday roast beef from here. Prices are fair for the quality you get, maybe a touch more than Tesco, but worth it.

Broughs is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and Saturday 8am to 4pm. Closed on Sundays, like most decent places should be. You can ring them on 01704 574069 if you need anything specific. Also, they have a website, broughs.com, but it's more of an online brochure than a proper shop.

Parking can be a pain on a Saturday morning with the crowds, so try to go mid-week if you can.
