Butcher George Payne – an appetite columnist and one of Rick Stein’s Food Heroes – is marking 30 years in business in Gosforth, Newcastle. A butcher man and boy like his late father Harry, George is known for his continuing commitment to rare and native breed meats. George plans to ‘beef up’ the milestone (sorry…) by rolling back his prices to offer Beef Topside at 1987 on the anniversary in June.
