This will sound ridiculous and like I have too much time on my hands but the chicken from Co-op is amazing, tastes so much better than anything I have tasted from other supermarkets or even the organic butcher - highly recommend and they quite often have good offers on making it pretty reasonable! Thought I would share :)


Perhaps we could also get a recipe suggestion chain going...

Think "really good" might be pushing it, I find the meat, especially, is poor quality and overpriced. On one occasion I bought meat that went off in the fridge prior to the use-by date so my experience is polar to what you guys n gals are suggesting. I wuld rather eat my socks than buy seafood from the co-op and have not tried the chicken but perhaps it is worth considering in an emergency. The fruit and veggies not only need improvement, they actually need stocking.


The local greengrocers and the meat from North Cross Road or Billy Rose are all fantastic and not really that different in price to any of the supermarkets, the co-op included.


Does anyone actually choose to shop in the co-op? wonders never cease.

Their Fairtrade Bananas, Chocolate etc are good value, the bread selection is getting better and two bottles of Spitfire for ?3 is okay with me.


Fruit & Veg - variable depending on when you go.


Pork, seafood/fish, definitely not.


@Foxy - try a 'Label Anglais' chicken from Sparkes on NorthX Rd market - they taste the way a chicken should.

I have had one of those from Borough Market.


They do not have much meat on them for ?14.00


Could not tell the diff. if blindfolded.


Fox..

I have to say that I have found the Co op (coop!) chicken 'truly irresitable' range to be quite horrid, and I never ate the breast I had cooked, and threw the 2nd breast away. Its William Rose for me - solely for the taste - not pretentions at using the shop like so many others.

Co op have their own farms and so do Morrisons. Waitrose have a farm in Herefordshire. It could be that these Supermarkets have greater control on their product quality.


Personally, I wouldn't dismiss Co-op food just because the brand isn't fashionable on this forum. All supermarket do some good food. The fun is discovering where they are.

Are you being Ironic or just ignorant ?

Twat.


Your mind reading powers are truly sensational that you, and you alone, know which of William Rose's customers use his shop for their tasty produce and which use the shop because they are pretentious. Can you spot them in the queue just by looking at them? Do they have a uniform? Hemp bags perhaps?

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
