Surely we can all compromise and meat in the middle
Better still, have a poll and show the results on a pie chart. Pick the bones out of that one!

Silly old bat
Why would someone on a limited income use petrol/diesel to go from Haywards Heath to Portslade or Shoreham just for meat?

A bit out of town, but Hutchins in Partridge Green is amazing.

Southwick is primarily in West Sussex, but regardless, BG means the one in Shoreham.
Somebody should move the West Sussex sign on the Old Shoreham Road at the Kingston Lane lights then. There was me thinking all these years that the riff-raff were all that side of KL

Yeah it’s always been a bit of mystery as to the placings of some of those signs...
I’m sure some bright spark will enlighten us.

It’s all worth pointing out that half of Shoreham separates Malpass from Portslade too.
It’s hardly close to the border

If anyone gets to Malpass pick up their Big Daddy steak. Massiiiiiiiiiiive
As I've never heard of Wicklendens I've never been but since Malpass closed in Brighton I'll give them a try next time.

Was there a couple of weeks ago and the person there told me that they’ve decided to keep it open now.

Malpass is okay. Won a few things from there in the Waterside meat raffle. Passable. Good for bbq’s but not for fine dining imo. Just across the road is Lidl which I’ve found to be excellent quality for most of their meat.

I believe the twittern up to the Downs is the border between us and them (and, if I remember rightly, down to fishersgate halt)

Malpas Is still open in Brighton, went there on Saturday,
They have a butcher on site now who will cut steaks etc.. rather than being pre-packed.

WHAT? You think that Southwick is an area of Shoreham-by-Sea? Or vice versa? I've called you out on some of your shite in your time, but THAT
Anyway, to answer your question, I'd say Wickenden Meats is the better of the two

Not in Surrey
Malpass in Brighton has remained open. They are re-vamping store and having an onsite butchers.
As for the original question, I shop at both regularly. Wickenden win hands down on Steaks, burgers etc. Malpass works out great value buying the larger packs of things such as cheese / bacon. We also buy trays of chicken breast / thigh and freeze. Malpass sausages are good and much more reasonable if you are having a BBQ but flavors are more limited than Wickenden offer.

Am the opposite... Wickendens is across the road for me so easy to use. Good quality, good value. Generally impressed. Tend to use for those special occasion buys... big BBQ, Xmas, etc.
