A word to the wise. The bloke at the Plough in the shop with no sign, not only sells good meat, he has his own farm in Kent.


So all you Dulwich foodies, you're missing a trick standing in the queue down the Lane. He's selling his own stuff - well the lamb, beef and pork anyway.


If you ask him, he'll show you photos of his happy looking herd

When the Chinese doctor was in situ at the butcher's you mention, she wanted to get rid of the tiles that featured cattle etc from when the shop was originally a butcher's shop. She was astounded when I asked her to keep them as they were historical as well as attractive; she thought them ugly and old-fashioned. I'm glad she kept them, now that the shop is back to being a butcher's.

We should just be grateful that we have 4 butchers to choose from - W Rose, Flock & Herd, the bloke by the Plough and the bloke on Northcross Road. All excellent - when I moved here we had just one to use on Liberrtto's on WoodVale - which remains and is also still good value and good quality - if a tad eccentric.


Also when I moved here (reflecting now I'm leaving) there was no fishmonger, The Bishop & Actress were awful pubs, the Plough little better. There was no Green & Blue, no pizza or pasta options (thanks Sim Mangia, Il Mirto and latest incarnation vice Indian Mischief). BoHo, Adventure, The Tippler had yet to arrive.


I find, in practice, that LL and its surroundings are, in effect a large rather geographically diverse supermarket offering higher quality, better value for money and the chance to establish a relationship with the shopkeepers. I will miss this once in Cornwall - but hope my local town & village will offer other compensations.

There's another good butchers in Forest Hill - The Butchery - opposite Sainburys. Has a wholesale business in Bermondsey and then the shop (open Weds to Sun) in Forest Hill. Specialises in small breed cattle. They held a BBQ evening a few weeks ago showing off their wares and v tasty it all was too - a gorgeous flatiron steak and ribs amongst other delicacies. His pork and kim chi sausages are gorgeous too - and they do Scottish black pudding which I love.

The Uplands was an improvement, but was pretty awful nonetheless. Actress best incarnation since I got here.

It was defeinitely good riddance to the goose and granite(?)

Forresters was pretty awful, though I've never really liked the Bishop.


I do miss the Lord Palmerston though, and the Mag has never found the right recipe and I was very fond of the old mag.

Was "interesting" on Saturday night to say the least. Had to leave with older family before ordering dinner!


Butchers by the Plough is great.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
