this is good news for Dulwich village

i will pop in once it opens but i bet they will be a bit pricey for me as the overheads for the village shops will over spill onto us the customer


went into Scotch Meats Independent Fine Foods Rosendale road and was expensive

i think i will be sticking to William rose on lordship lane or the butchers in Nunhead

William Rose isn't organic and its very expensive (imho) .......

And the fact that it says "organic and free range" in large letters outside, despite the fact that much of it isn't organic (don't know if all the rest is free range).

There are alternatives to WR and this new butchers in the Village. Personally I use and can happily recommend W,Buntings on Peckham Park Road, it's on the 78 bus route just off Peckham Hill street close to the junction with the Old Kent Road. I always get well looked after, is a family run business who care about what they do.

Personally I think William Rose is great and some of their basics are very good value, better quality than the biggest local supermarket but a comparable cost. That said, they've been doing what they do for a while and another gourmet butcher in the area will probably inspire them to greater heights.


Bring on the meat war!

These guys are great. It may not look as suave as WR but I?ve been using them both personally and professionally for six years. They supply a surprising number of well known restaurants, including Franklin?s. Chris and Mark really know their stuff.

Can anyone really tell the difference between a chicken from the butchers and an organic free range chicken> Apart from the cost. Because I certainly don;t think I could and I very much many others could either. Usually a nice plump chicken from the butchers comes in at under a tenner. I vary rarely buy pre-packed meat from the supermarket, much prefer the butchers because I know it is fresh.

Just shows you what suckers we are really.


They were selling rib eye at ?28.50 per kg the last time I went in. And of course I bought it as it was the only rib eye they had that particular Saturday.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
