The Souvlakia & Sausage Sensation: What Customers Love

The heart of the praise for Belmore Meats & Souvlakia undeniably lies in its namesake – the souvlakia – and its sausages. A recurring theme is the exceptional quality and taste of the lamb souvlakia, repeatedly described as “divine” and “the best around." Customers consistently highlight the absence of excess fat, a common complaint with lamb, praising the juiciness and flavour.

Here’s a breakdown of what people are saying regarding their specialties:

• Lamb Souvlakia: Often cited as the highlight of the shop. Customers rave about the lean, juicy, and incredibly tasty meat. Many mention it being their go-to for special occasions and gatherings.
• Sausages (especially Italian): The Italian-flavoured sausages, seasoned with fennel and spices, garner significant praise, suggesting a depth of flavour beyond the standard offering.
• Other Souvlakia: Chicken and pork souvlakia also receive positive mentions, reinforcing the shop's versatility.
• BBQ Meats: The butcher provides a "best selection of all BBQ meat needs" with particular recommendation for the lamb ribs.

Beyond the food itself, reviewers appreciate the freshness and quality. The Easter purchase described the souvlakia as "so soft and fresh!" This reinforces the impression of a business using high-quality ingredients and taking care in their preparation.

Addressing Concerns and Ensuring Quality

While overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews offer valuable insights into maintaining exceptional standards. One customer reported a slight issue with a rack of pork ribs being off upon purchase, emphasising the importance of careful inspection before leaving the shop. This feedback suggests that while rare, quality control incidents can happen, and customers are advised to be vigilant. The response, rather than deterring, highlights the shop’s commitment to transparency and customer awareness.

The shop offers accessibility features, with wheelchair accessible entrance for those who require it. Planning a quick trip is simple too, as it’s described as a place for a “Quick visit”.
