pop up butchers

[carov]

Hi there,

just thought I would mention a lovely pop-up butchers that has opened in Forest Hill opp Sainsbury. They are open for the month of December (and we are hoping it becomes a more permanent fixture), providing beautifully aged meat from old breeds e.g. beef is Dexter. They are in collaboration with Franklins so also have some veggies and condiments, etc available. I have used William Rose who are ok-ish, and love Sparkes, who I thought couldn't be beaten on quality, but 'The Butchery' has really impressed me. We first tried their 45 day aged T-Bone steak which was divine (cut to the thickness that you want), and have returned since for more unusual cuts. The staff are wonderfully friendly, helpful and full of advice on how to cook the various cuts, and properly wrap the meat in brown paper. If you're in the area please drop in and support them.

Also open at the weekend saturday and sunday (limited hours on sunday but I can't remember exactly when). It does get quite busy then though. We had their 'Italian parcels' yesterday - absolutely divine.

I was in yesterday. Just in case someone was thinking of trying their produce (any steak fans, it's well worth the trip in from Dulwich), they are closing on the 24th December (I thought they were open until 31st). They are hoping to open on a permanent basis in Feb.

Nathan & Ruth are fantastic, like Charlie at Flock & Herd Nathan trained with Ginger Pig and is an amazing butcher who is extremely passionate about rarebreeds and good quality produce! Nathan gets his Turkeys & Chickens from Fosse Meadows, there 81 day matured Cotswold Gold Chickens are absolutely amazing, you won't taste another bird like it haha!

The Butchery has reopened today following the successful pop-up shop run in December. They took some time since Christmas to properly equip the shop which is now a permenant fixture on London Road.
