Butchers at Plough to Close

Tomorrow in fact - he's moving the shop to Bromley.


I shall miss nipping in (no queues) for his excellent pork, (and bacon, chipolatas, black pudding and the guilty pleasure of those bags of home-made scratchings!) fine fresh cut Barnsley chops and well-aged rib eye.


Told me the big DIY place is taking over his shop and the one next door. What will replace the DIY shop he didn't know.


Speculation starts here.....

Hope the new arrivals don't get rid of the lovely tiling from when it was a butcher's shop many years ago. It was going to be ripped out and binned by the Chinese medicine owner but wasn't in the end, which was great, given that the next landlord was to be a butcher.

If you're down 'Locksbottom' way in a couple of weeks or so you can check it out. He is going to be opposite the Sainsburys down there.


Foxy - He was closed Mondays and Wednesday afternoons but open otherwise and he never put stuff in the window but had it in his display fridges inside and would also cut steaks and chops to order rather than have a platter of them in the sunlight.


I'd always thought it a shop to ignore - judging a book by its cover etc - until this forum encouraged me to visit and it was one of the best shopping decisions I made.


I shall also miss his own pollen-enriched honey (when you could get it).

Go the other way to Libretto on Wood Vale, another old school butcher without a window display but fantastic product.

This place is really close to me but I never know if it's going to be open or not......

Google doesn't really help either http://www.southlondonguide.co.uk/eastdulwich/klibretto.htm


Shame the newsagent has closed a few doors down. All looks a bit sad now - be great if some new stuff came along to re-energise that stretch.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
