butcher

[pattherat]

there are 16 butchers on peckham high street. Most are great particularly for chicken

[pablogrande]

There?s fifty-two stations on the northern line

None of them is yours, one of them is mine

I think you mean Rye Lane. Peckham High Street is where they soak them in batter to be deep fried ;-)

Yes I've noticed a shortage of pigeons in Peckham over the last few years.

I'm thinking of going on a chicken butcher crawl- anyone interested? Left leg in the first, breast in the second, etc

Now Now

The butcher fraternity of Peckham offer other products too

For example:

• Nevin's has the most devine Black Pudding I have had in years

• Al Sibitans* the best sausages and meatiest this side of Rye Lane Station (all Halal so no fatty pork in them)

• Dennis (on the High Street) offers a high quality cut of beef that is second to none in my opinion

• Pak (the Aylesham Centre) offers a good range of quality meats

Others offer just as many good products and I am looking forward to Spring when Half Lambs are on sale again down Rye Lane.

In these times of Credit Crunch and Penny Pinching, the butchers of Peckham offer some quality products at a bargin price, and I wouldn't dismiss them out of hand without trying the products from a few of them first. I will be the first to agree that they don't look as prestine as William Rose, however they also don't charge the same prices as William Rose.::o

They also offer other products like bags of Onions (5KG) for around ?1 (depending on which business you shop at) and I tend to go through a bag a month (with little or no spoilage at the end of the month) - Peckham is a good choice for fruit, veg and other food shopping if you want to save quite a few ?'s every week and the Chilli Peppers are to Die for (at least that is what it sometimes feels like the next morning when you are doing your 'Daily Business' :-$)

Also Lobo Seafood Superstore (this end of Rye Lane) is used by a large number of Fish Mongers in the South of London to supply them with Frozen Fish, so again a good choice if you want to buy good fish at a good price.

One thing all of them offer every customer is a good level of Customer Service, and it still pleases me to see how much advice they offer if asked. My advice to everyone here is to try what is on offer in Peckham rather then just dismissing it out of hand.

So Yes, I will join your so called 'Chicken Crawl' just to do my normal weekly shopping down the Lane.

*I still am never sure how to spell this businesses name, but I am sure you can find it if you look.

Can anyone give me the low down on the Butchers on Nunhead Lane. Went passed today, no queue (guess where I normally go....). Is it worth a wander?

[Jimbob]

can you still get smoked monkey heads down the rye

[Michael Palaeologus]

and, when in season, giant edible snails.

[jaybee82]

Mmm...cant get enough of those monkey heads.

LOL

So called Bush meat hasn't been on offer in Peckham for many many years, there was one isolated shop (now closed) that did have some on offer, and was soon closed down by the Councils trading Standards team and sadly for the area got negative media publicty at the same time.

African Land Snails are still available and are imported legally by a number of shops (Stella's, BIMS and so on) and they sell really well when they are in stock (normally the warmer months as they tend to perish quickly in the cold)

One mans meat isn't necessarily another mans poison and again don't knock them until you try them. (Lolak resturant serves them in various ways if you are interested in trying them)
