Meat N16 - Stoke Newington

Here in London, we had some pretty amazing weather over the weekend, so we decided to have a BBQ on Saturday night. We went to the new butchers in Stokey, Meat N16, to pick up some meat. It's a really nice little shop with very friendly and helpful staff. They obviously sell lots of meat but also have a good selection of cheeses, pies and sauces and most importantly (to me anyway!) it's not ridiculously overpriced.

We opted for free range chicken legs which had been marinated in Indian seasoning and a peppered beef skewer, which came to less than a fiver. Both were absolutely delicious, I'd forgotten how much better meat tastes when cooked on a BBQ. The weather was so lovely that I completely forgot that it's actually October and the sun sets before 7pm, so we ended up cooking in the dark. We ate in the garden with the aid of some huge candles, so it felt like we were on holiday, nice : )
