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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
