As I have said in other reviews, there are an awful lot of butchers in Bangor. They range from the ones based in Tesco, Asda and the like to small family butchers that have been around since year dot. This place is kind of in the middle of these two and is an absolute must for a lot of people around christmas time.
In the last couple of years it has been renovated and modernised. Adding more space but it has lost some of the character and atmosphere that I liked about it when I used to go in the odd time with my mum when I was younger.
It was named Northern Irish Butcher of the Year in 2009 and while this promises quality and an expert service, it also means that the prices have inevitably went up. The staff really are good though and always willing to give you advice on meats and cuts and whatever else a butcher can give you advice on. There is plenty of parking on site, which is a big bonus. -

Primacy Meats used to be a small family run butchers with a small farm shop that probably stocked produce 2 years past its sell by date. But within the last 3 years it has grown, matured and developed into a super butchers. It now boasts a coffee shop, gift shop and fruit and veg shop, its like when one of your friends comes into money and completely changes. They get a brand new house (shop) build big iron gates and lose all personality. Although I think I may just be bitter because I felt a certain affinity with the old Primacy meats.
It is rather over priced compared to its competitors and it feels like it is trying to hard to be the best. With the awards it has won there is no wonder that it has developed an ego. Northern Irelands Butcher of the year 2009 is one of these accolades but trust me if you want reasonably priced meat I would stay away from the Primacy.
The staff are friendly and polite and they will even throw in an extra dog bone with your purchases. But if they get any more expensive the dog will be missing out and I will be chewing on the bone.
It is a great location, out of town and if you fancy something different for lunch then you should visit the coffee shop, it is a little more reasonable.
Parking is fantastic but it does get busy in BBQ season and you may have to queue out the door.
