The Cheese Shop and adjoining Health Shop Lordship Lane

Has anyone else found the man in the Cheese shop really surly and rude. He can't even muster a smile - and at those high prices I'd be positively beaming.

And while we're on the topic, the young guy with whacky hair in the Health Shop is also downright rude whenever I go in. I wish the shops had some competition as maybe this would force them to improve their service!

Can't say I have no. Not exactly bubbly but his wife and daughter are always extremely helpful.


As for the high prices....show me the same cheese in London at lower prices and I'll eat a truckle.


Sorry Spangles, think you might have caught him on an off day.


Never been in the Health Shop....purveyors of snake oil and all that.

Ooooh....go on, do tell. Jam-man on Northcross Rd? Furniture man on Northcross Rd? Oh, wait, you said LL. I give up.

I'm all for competition. Were you thinking of starting a smiling competition? Best retail smile on LL? I've always found the Cheese Block guys to be really good humoured and Health Matters staff have always been helpful too. Perhaps they're saddened by your imminent departure.

Wacky-hair guy in SMBS is a great laugh - as are all of the people in SMBS I find


The don't look like they take any nonsense mind - if someone ventured in with an attitude of "my good man bring me some tamarind" (and I'm not saying that was you spangles) they probably wouldn't get the full smile, no


Cheese shop I frequent less (not being a cheese guy, nothing to do with the shop) but I have picked up some ham and preserves from time to time - seem fine to me

I'm sure this was discussed before but am unable to find the thread...vaguely seem to remember mixed views on the topic and someone suggested he may have been having an off-day and another suggested that he was mourning the death of his wife...(apologies if my memory doesn't serve me too well)

Somewhat new to EDF but is it a place where recommendations are genuinely made? or is it an area where you can let off some steam/have a whinge? if Im on the site looking for a good cheese shop then am i right in assuming this is a shop selling good quality cheese?

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
