Last Christmas I was treated like a very unimportant customer by WR. Being Scandy, I wanted to get a particular cut of meat for our Christmas dinner which would require the butcher to step out of his comfort zone. I went in in October to discuss this with the main man there - first off he said he wouldn't do it then he said he would and that he would have to cut it from a whole pig for me but he would do it if I came back two weeks prior to needing it. I did this - he refused to serve me saying he was too busy and I could speak to one of the others before barging past me out of the shop. The person I then spoke to said that he wouldn't do it and there i was without the cut of meat I needed. I ended up going to smithfields where they were able to help me with no attitude and no palming me off with alternative cuts which were already in the back room.


I do like the meat from WR but they can stuff their surly attitude in their 'only for regulars' christmas turkeys butt. I am now an 'irregular' user but wouldn't dream of trying to order a turkey or anything else from there as I am not keen

on being made to feel not in exclusive club!

Unless you can't see too well and require a bit of help. But then I guess you should just be more considerate to the busy butchers and take a helper with you.

We always have Goose, it's far nicer than Turkey. Anyone have any idea of the cost of a Goose at William Rose?

Generally, we buy our Goose on Christmas eve. I remember two years ago in Farnham, Sainsbug's "the best" Geese were all reduced to get rid of them. Bargain! ;-)

Anyway - I don't want to pull this debate into the lounge. So back on track. Anyone who thinks WR is anything other than a great local butcher must be mad as a hatter. There.. I've said it.


That said, my 'favourite' staff member has recently departed.. sniff.

Someone's blabbed ! Mrs ed_pete called to say that while in WR this morning there was a hard copy of this thread on the counter and it was being actively discussed !


In that case:


Large shoulder of lamb, 2 Ch?teaubriand Steaks, free range chicken and 500g chicken livers


Cheers I'll drop by later.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • 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...
