Agreed - had great sheet of pork ribs from him this week - cooked as bodice (with cabbage and mash).

I used to get the Clonakilty black and white puds from Guy Sparkes in NthX rd but they no longer do the market.

What is the bacon like at the butcher by the Plough?

The smoked streaky is pretty damn wonderful.

[Mustard]

Good to know, smoked streaky is my favourite type. Will check him out.

And they sell Rabbit

I got steak there for first time last week and it was really good too!

[Bluelagoon]

Tavern Snacks - now that is a proper salt and vinegar crisp - I've only ever seen them at The Blue Posts on Berwick Street.

I do think it's sad - gentrification is a big and complex debate, and I'm definitely a latter day ED emigre drawn to some extent by nice shops and places to drink but I also like an area to be authentic and there is also definitely a case that despite all of these 'independent' cafes and provisions shops London's high streets in certain areas are all beginning to look the same.

I only went in there once with a Irish friend, but otherwise I'd agree that the shutters always made it look closed.It is still a shame to loose a local business.

I'm not Irish, so I suppose I should shush.

Shame that one can only comment on matters pertaining to a group/nation/issue if they belong to it.

Ivy House do Tavern snack crisps.

[grace3]

Buy a cheaper house and you could have steak every week.

No way - I swear they were some fancy kettle Chips type thing the one time we had crisps there.

The butcher at the plough is very good.Excellent beef n bacon n rabbit. Believe a lot of his stuff comes from his dad's farm near Halstead

[Earl Aelfheah]

I don't get why that butchers has never invested in a shop sign. Seems like a false economy.

[mikeb]

You can go in that butchers on a Saturday afternoon and it's like a morgue - he really doesn't seem to enjoy his job. Does anyone know what rents are like at that end of the Lane?

[Earl Aelfheah]

....Butchers kind of are

I'm all about the cheese & onion. I get them in Fox's on Kirkdale (Sydenham). Proppa booza innit!

[giggirl]

Sad loss. The Donny Osmond poster was a step back in time.

[Guest]

Rarely went there but a loss.

[Alan Medic]

I suspect the shutters being left up was because the woman in the shop wasn't physically capable of taking them down. I think it was a case of either you knew of the shop or you didn't. If you did it wasn't offputting in the least.

[Peckhamrye]

I have had confirmation from the Ivy House that they sell Tavern Snack crisps. Yay.

[Mustard]

Bacon lovers - Can confirm that streaky bacon at the near the Plough butcher is delicious. Bought some sausages also yesterday, but haven't tried them yet. He does long chipolata style ones as well as the ordinary size.
