Salisbury Scrutineer

Harnham Road, Salisbury, SP2 8JG

I mentioned East Harnham Deli a few posts back on our walk to Odstock. Here’s a little more about it. Neatly perched just beyond Harnham bridge, it retains its original name on the shop hoarding, ‘A. Hand and Sons’. Outside are blackboards advertising the delicious wares of the deli from sweets and cakes (the best lemon drizzle cake we’ve tasted, they use real lemons and lots of them!) to homemade tarts and pasties. It sells a good selection of ‘dry’ deli foods made by decent companies including pasta, rice, cereals, tinned soup and more.

Harrison Bros butchers are the best butchers in town. Hidden away from the main run of shops in the city centre, you will find Harrisons on the corner of College Street and Park Street (where the entrance is). As you jingle through the chain door curtain you are not greeted by a clinical high glass or perspex counter and unsure looks from teenagers doing their first job, but a proper butcher’s block, well hewn from the daily shave it gets to ensure its clean and level for the next day. You are face to face with either of the Harrison brothers and their polite countenance and attentive manner make shopping here a joy. Their meat is well-provenanced and the butchers are knowledgeable about the proper cuts needed for your recipes.
