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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
