Vic Hopkins & Son (Local Butchers) - Thai Red Curry & Chicken Kiev

(High Street, website here)

I'm so behind, everyone in Barry orders here and I only did for the first time last week. Embarrassing really! Anyway, I decided to go to their oven ready section and get a few things. I was so happy with the quality of it all and will definitely order again. Seems their loyal customers are so loyal for a reason! To add as well, this is another place with a fully functioning, easy to use website which is always so important to me, makes the process so easy.

This type of curry feels a lot healthier than what you'd get as a takeaway curry, with a light, tasty sauce and two big, juicy chicken breasts. Lots of protein and reassuring to know the meat is top quality. I had it with some green veg and rice. The kiev was really nice too, just as good quality chicken and loved the Southern fried crumb on the outside (though would have preferred a little extra garlic sauce on the inside). Big fan of this place and excited to try more of the oven ready selection.
