Hen and Boar Family Butchers — Local services in Bristol

I finally got to the Hen and Boar, on my visit to Bristol. I was helped by a lovely young man, who went out of his way to give me what I wanted. He took the time to portion everything perfectly, and we also engaged in some wonderful conversation about eating carnivore.
