AI Roberts is a butcher's shop on The Crescent in West Kirby, run day to day by butcher Dean Harris. The shop prepares fresh meat to order at the counter alongside a range of house-made pies, sausage rolls and stuffed joints such as bacon-wrapped chicken breast, plus a selection of chutneys and preserves from independent suppliers. Harris and his staff take telephone orders for local delivery around West Kirby and the surrounding villages, and the shop posts weekly meal suggestions and pie specials to its Facebook and Instagram followers. Trading under the Roberts name for many years, the shop is part of West Kirby's small parade of independent food shops on The Crescent, close to the town's railway station. It opens six days a week and closes on Sundays. As a single-site, family-run butcher without its own website, most of its trade and customer communication happens in person or through social media rather than online ordering.
