I've had both the ox cheeks and short ribs from Makro, both are good, I particularly like the short ribs.

It's worth having a good look through the short ribs they have on sale as some are definitely more meaty than others, and sometimes the 2 pieces in the packet are substantially different in size and meatiness.

I think their slabs of pork belly are good value too, I generally divide them into 3, make 2 into bacon and roast the other third.

I also like their picanha which is great reverse seared to medium rare.
 
I joined my local Bookers this week, not visited it yet, but looking forward to popping in over the bank holiday weekend to see what the butchers counter is like.
 
Maybe a pot luck thing but the two bookers i visited i was not impressed with them very run down and small butchers departments find makro much better all round
 
Unfortunately my nearest 2 Makro's are 20 miles either side of me, whereas the Bookers is within a mile. Hopefully it will be a decent one, if not nothing lost, as membership was free.
