The Good Stuff
Seafood Range
Beyond meat, the shop carries fresh seafood, including king crab legs and caviar.
Helpful Advice
Several shoppers found the counter team knowledgeable when choosing specific beef parts or getting cut recommendations.
Brisket Favourite
Brisket has been a long-standing favourite for one customer, who has used the shop for more than 10 years.
Sausage Selection
The sausages receive strong praise, while burgers and Japanese Wagyu mince are also mentioned as worthwhile buys.
Specialty Pantry
Shoppers have found useful extras such as herbs, spices, cheeses, truffle products and grill accessories alongside the meat.
Tips for a Better Visit
Choose In-Store. For steaks, visit the shop and select the pieces yourself rather than relying fully on delivery or app orders.
Check Freshness. If ordering delivery, unpack the meat immediately and check its smell and surface before cooking.
Allow Time. Avoid tight meal schedules when using delivery apps; one order was still waiting after an hour and was cancelled.
Confirm Thickness. State the desired steak thickness clearly and inspect the cut before leaving, especially for special-occasion steaks.
Check Discounts. If you use the EPC discount, confirm the current policy before paying so the benefit and eligibility are clear.

The Bottom Line
Prime Gourmet is a Halal-certified butcher shop and gourmet food store built around premium meat and seafood. The useful draw is the choice: shoppers mention Wagyu, Angus and dry-aged beef, while the counter can help with specific cuts. It is also a place to pick up seafood such as king crab legs and caviar, rather than a meat-only stop.
The shop has a strong history with steaks, burgers, sausages and brisket. One customer has bought briskets there for more than 10 years, and another says the Japanese Wagyu mince is worth the drive when it goes on offer. The range also extends to herbs, spices, cheeses, truffle products and grill accessories, which is handy when planning a barbecue or special meal.
There is an important distinction between shopping at the counter and ordering online. Several customers say cuts selected in person are more reliable; delivered steaks have arrived too thin, incorrectly cut or below the requested thickness. Delivery timing has also been uneven, with reports of long waits and missed items.
Check meat immediately on arrival, and confirm any EPC discount before paying. Prices are described as higher than cheaper butchers, so this suits shoppers prioritising premium cuts over bargains.
