The famous products of Whitchurch Village
extend far beyond Gareth Bale, Sam Warburton, Rhodri Morgan, Mrs G and Geraint
Thomas.
Well, a little bit beyond.
Last weekend I visited Whitchurch to eat some high-profile beef.
Firstly I lunched at Deli a Go Go, where I ordered
their signature salt beef sandwich (£6.50).
Packed with yielding, flavour-packed meat
and a good smear of mustard, the salt beef was unquestionably the star of the
show. In comparison, the white sliced, Mrs Elswood-alike gherkin and
overly-mayonnaised coleslaw were just fine; rye bread & some superior
pickles would have elevated it from very good to outstanding.
Having eaten half a cow’s worth of beef for
lunch, I then visited Martin Player Butchers to purchase the second half for my
dinner.
Martin Player’s beef burgers (95p) recently
claimed the accolade of “best burger in the UK” at the Q Guild National BBQ
awards 2013 - Q Guild is a collective of 120 Independent British Butchers.
They’re made using 21-day aged Welsh beef and
this contributes to a seriously tasty burger.
Cooked a juicy medium, I served them in authentic
Golden Arches style with an oozing layer of processed cheese, ketchup, American
mustard, pickles, caramelised diced onions and a toasted pappy roll.
