1. Despite Louth having a population of just 17,000, there are 6 specialist butchers in town (not including deli counters and market stalls). That means that there is 1 buthcer per 2800 people, a ratio that I would imagine is hard to beat.
Lakings - General Meridian - General Sandy - Poultry Jacksons - Pork Pocklingtons - General - pies and pasties Robinsons - General |
