Meat Quality of William Rose


Be blessed

Recommended Posts

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..

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.

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.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
