It has a website - you could google it.


But in summary - its on Dulwich village, at the moment the queues are way shorted than William Rose, and yes it does other meats not just pig related. Can't comment on relative quality as I don't eat meat but others in my family have found it good.

If you are prepared to drive 5 minutes then supermarket in Rosendalr Riad - just in parade of shops after Rosendale Pub does all organic Meat - certainly very good quality and the butchers all know alot.


The butcher in village is a coulle of doors down from Hane Newby or roughly whete newsagent used to be - upu can't drive thru village at moment but can park and walk - water probs.

FYI the place on Rosendale is open Sundays, as is The Butchery in Forest hill. Proud Sow do nice things, as do F&H. W.R is fun, local and not particularly expensive. It really depends what you like or buy.


I?m currently waiting for a Heritage grazed Sussex downland Belted Galway, to be hung long enough to get the 3 rib of beef I?m after. I?m about 40 days away, but when it?s ready , it?ll be worth the wait.


Get to know your butcher is my thoughts. Ask what?s coming in, plan some things around that. Or just buy a chop or two when it takes your fancy.


Mail order wise. I use Philip Warrens of Launceston in Cornwall. Moorland grazed Red Devon?s rib of beef, dry aged in a salt chamber for 5 weeks , then popped in the post for a next day delivery. It?s pretty awesome.

F&H & WR have staff with a high level of butchery knowledge, and although they have queues they get through them quickly. Proud Sow?s staff don?t have to deal with a queue, they also don?t have the same level of knowledge.


Today I was on a mission for caul fat (it?s the lacey stomach fat used to wrap meat for faggots, sheftalia, things like that). F&H regretted they didn?t have the right lamb parts in this weekend for that, but often would stock it. WR didnt have any, ordering in advance a possibility. Proud Sow had absolutely no idea what it is, they did offer me some goose fat though. I know it?s not an everyday item, but a professional trained butcher knows this stuff, and Proud Sow?s staff just didn?t.


By the way, TFC in Camberwell stock caul fat on their meat counter as standard, so if anyone else is planning sheftalia for the BBQ that?s where to go :)

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
