Due to the current lockdown my partner and I were very limited on how we could make our anniversary evening special. We decided we would make ourselves a nice meal. Having looked at local butchers Jim Oliver’s looked very promising and having read all the positive reviews we wanted to give it a try!
We were served by an older lady who made us feel extremely unwelcome and rushed. Having never been there before and having a rough idea of what we wanted we asked for her recommendation, she was extremely dismissive. She continued to bag up meat that we had not confidently chosen yet without asking us if we wanted it. We then felt pressured to buy it. My partner even felt the need to apologise when asking for additional cuts as she seemed in such a rush to get us out. (There was only one other customer waiting).
We are very disheartened as the previous reviews are right, the quality of the meat was great and so were the prices. However you have lost two customers due to the fact that we felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome.
