Anyone who thinks Post Brexit will send the country down the pan has not been paying attention

to the state of the Country over the past 20-30 years.

Why do people continue to moan about..

The Tranport System.. Trains .. Buses.. ?

The NHS.. Doctors.. Appointments ?

Job Loses ... Unemployment... Redundancies... Pay..

Housing.. Shortages.. Affordability.. Homelessness..

ETA.

Schools.. Choices.. Location.. Availablity..

It's already happening without Brexit ..and nothing is being done...

Brexit cannot be worse.. for the majority of people..

It was our vainglorious, patriotic *British* - not EU - government who banned, err, British beef on the bone from around 1992 to 1999.

Any half-decent butcher of course would sell it to you.

has any one tried organic village lordship lane has a meat counter now

[bodsier]

Question everything.....wait for an honest answer. Does the window still advertise free range/ organic? Ask if it is, ask the meats source and how it's reared. Check other products also......

Yes. They have some great stuff in there

We had a shoulder of lamb for Christmas Day and a lovely thick Cote de Bouef for Christmas Eve. Both were really nice. The shoulder was about ?11. We (2 of us) were stuffed on Christmas Day and had enough leftover for lamb curry for 3 today.

I used to live opposite and I'm gutted I don't anymore!

William Rose is a little hit and miss for me. I've had some great stuff from there but occasionally it's not been so good.

Big thumbs up for the Butchery in Forest Hill too.

Some of the stuff is pretty good and some is decidedly average... I think The Butchery is a cut above... keen prices though

I used to work with the Food Technology team at Waitrose. I know how much effort big supermarkets put in to ensure the source of the meat is as claimed. I must say I now have more confidence with the meat quality from supermarkets than any independent butchers.

British farming standard is known to be one of the highest within Europe. I am more than happy to pay more for British produce. However I am not prepared to pay a premium just for European produce to be processed or packed in the UK.

WR is a reasonably priced butcher, no doubt. However, for my family, we do want to support British farmers and British standard, I just don't feel I can blindly accept the verbal guarantee from WR any more.

I don't disagree with everyone's sentiments, however, I'm not convinced WR is misrepresenting its meat based on the experience of the first post (Be blessed). It seems unlikely WR expects to get away with lying about the origin of the meat when it's in its original packaging and clearly labelled. Perhaps the counter person was misinformed/mistaken/a bit lax?

I've been convinced by the integrity, quality and prices of WR over many years. But I'm definitely out of there if I've got this wrong. It will be a major let down if East Dulwich can't rely on them.

WR do tell 'porkies' I haven't been back in a year after soe awful meat, a beef fillet which I returned. The Butchery is far superior
