Butcher - where did the one by The Plough go?

Recommended Posts

We used to use the butcher based at the top of Lordship Lane by the library and The Plough pub and got our Xmas turkey from him. I know it's a while since he shut up shop but I haven't needed a turkey for the last couple of years. Now I do need one and I wondered if anyone knew where he'd gone.

The word was he'd moved to Bromley when he shut but he did such a sudden flit I never got the chance to ask him where he was moving etc.

Any help gratefully received.


(I know William Rose does turkeys and I used to get mine there when I lived down that end of town, I was a regular at WR and the rule was you had to be a regular to get on his list for turkeys. I liked this rule because it worked for me. Now I'm not a regular so it seems a bit rich to pitch up looking for a turkey!)

He left because the lease was up on the shop and the DIY shop wanted it back (they owned it) - he went to the village of Locksbottom down Bromley way - said he had a premises opposite the Sainsburys down there but I've never been down so don't know if he made it.

He did open up at Locksbottom as we dropped by to pick up a big order for a school camping trip just after he moved but last summer he had gone so not sure what the deal was, I know his dad who worked on the farm with him was quiet elderly so maybe he had to concentrate on that.

    • To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!
    • I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....
    • Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.    
    • We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
