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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
