a cut above Butcher Lance Perry says the demand for quality meat has seen his sales double following the horse meat scandal.
A range of low-cost food products, including burgers and lasagnas, sold in some supermarkets, have been found to contain traces of horse meat since last month.
But Mr Perry, who has been at the Carmarthenshire store for nearly seven years, said people had already started to comment on the quality of the meat they sold there.

"They come in and they are saying that the meat is different, they can taste the difference in it when they're buying it from the butcher," said Mr Perry, who added that the store bought all its produce from local slaughterhouses.
"In the past few weeks sales have increased, beef sales have nearly trebled and mince sales have also gone up."
