BERNARD Kelly Butchers of Urmston serves up top quality produce says one impressed customer.

Mr Kelly's market stall has been established in Urmston Market food hall for more than 25 years.

And a reader thinks that the butcher's service is well worth our Counter Action 'roll of honour'.

Bernard thinks the reason why his stall is so successful is because people like the personal touch.

He recalls that he was once asked how many customers he had, to which he replied: "I haven't got one customer, but I've got a lot of friends that I serve meat to."

He said: "A lot of people oddly enough over the past 12-18 months have started coming to me because they are sick of supermarkets, some have never even seen meat displayed in such a way before."

He advises people that if they want proper meat, to go to a butcher's, as there are plenty of good butchers around.

Bernard said of his nomination: "I feel very privileged, something like this is a nice surprise and it proves that we're doing something right."

A reader who nominated the butcher's said: "The service is very good, the staff are friendly and the produce is excellent, altogether this is a very good example of a local business."
