There is a notice in the window of the old " Blue Rock " that a new butchers is opening soon ?

Lets hope they are as good as Blue Rock, I thought the guy who was running it was taking it over....

I hope they're better.

thats true, Blue Rock were great but an even better one would be brilliant.

Hurray !! will give it a try next month!

Am I the only one here who thought the Blue Rock to be expensive and overated??

Nope. We looked in once and thought it too dear. Couldn't understand the hype - it was just a butchers.

Bruce, I don't recall the price but we bought ground steak to make spaghetti sauce 2 years ago and had to throw it out because the meat had a weird taste. Never went back- have always had good luck at the major grocery stores and the butcher at the Mercado in CVO.

Personal choice and our choice, so there!

We found over winter that once Jon started to lose interest the quality went down. The last time we visited the only meat in the shop that we fancied was sausage. The one thing it was realible for, ribeye steak, had not been available for weeks. Sad to report, but we found the sausage inedible due to a very strange taste. First time in my life that I have not been able to eat a sausage. We went back to the butcher counter in Intermarche. Hope it does reopen, and that the quality is right.

Only been to this Blue Rock once, in October, and it was absolutely delicious

As I always said, if you wanted to buy fresh meat in CVO please go to the market, I was never a Blue Rock advocate

Nor me, tried the rib eye once and the home made burgers, the burgers were full of onion and were thrown out. Rib eye was ok but had better from my local butcher (yes, we still have one!)

Went past today, the sign says the butcher is called JOAO?

We loved the sausages and sirloin we got from him and cost the same as we are paying from our local butcher at home.
This was last June so maybe things changed.
