Mustard Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The owner of Flock and Herd on Bellenden Road is definitely ex Ginger Pig. Don't know about the Butchery.

irg Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I don't know if anyone else has made my mistake and thought that the meat at William Rose is organic, free range or both. A long while ago, I decided to try their meat. I asked if all their meat was organic and was told that only the trays in the display with specific labels were organic or free range. Only one tray had an organic label. However I decided that their meat should be good quality, so I ordered a whole bladebone (featherblade) to collect in a few days time. I was so disappointed with the meat when I cooked it. It's usually meltingly tender when it's braised, with a rich flavour, but the William Rose meat was tough and with very little taste. And, I had a whole bladebone to use up! Not been back since.

snooks Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Afraid I haven't been too lucky in WR, had people over for dinner and bought 8 middlecut fillets - tastelss and tough. I also find them quite rude so I haven't been back either Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65930-william-rose/page/2/#findComment-872842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions of course, but the customer service level really is woeful compared to others, as has been nicely exemplified by an earlier post from someone in the retail industry. It just doesn't compare to places like the US and Australia on the whole.

phobic3000 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The customer service in this shop was poor. But to generalise and say that customer service in this country is woeful compared to US and Oz is wrong IMO. I'm generally very happy with the level of customer service I get in most places I shop in. Apart from Iceland. They're always cold in there. Boom boom.

Saus01 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Used to think this was great. Getting frustrated by poor service and, I suppose, effectively lying by the staff.Few weeks ago went in and asked for 2 kebabs. Changed my mind a minute later and asked if they could make it three. "Yes no problem". Something told me she hadn't bothered so I double checked. Yes she said. Got home - 2 kebabs.Today. Different girl. Can I have skin on, bone out chicken thighs please. Yes. So that's skin on but bone out. Yes. Get home - no skin.Not sure what the problem is but maybe too lazy to do something that's not available to go. I don't know if others have experienced the same but if something is really important to your recipe I would check the bag before you leave the shop.

dbboy Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have been using W.Bunting on Peckham Park Road for about 5 years and have found the meat and service to be really good. Always get looked after and will cut what ever you want.

JimH Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Wow. Never had a problem there at all and think the service and meat at WR is excellent and I really do not think it is pricey ? I can easily walk out with a weeks worth of meat for under ?20 (and I am a big meat eater!). The queue moves very rapidly and I do not think I have ever spent longer than 5 minutes in the queue (I really hate queuing ). I must admit I do not really get the walking into a shop and being silent waiting for 9 people to serve you when there is obviously no one else in the shop. You do not need them to beckon you forward and spoon feed you through the (uncomplicated) process of buying food. Just walk up and speak to them!!! Maybe they thought you were just being awkward and undecided about whether you wanted to buy anything or not. BTW I also second the recommendations for the butcher at the Plough!!

ken78 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 must be cheaper meat for this box as a free range chickens sell for about ?6 per kg a 1.5 kg chicken is about ?9-10 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65930-william-rose/page/2/#findComment-907336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Seems good to me, and a world apart from the supermarket equivalent that would cost about a tenner more!

Dulwich Born And Bred Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ukalec,No, they aren't all organic/free range as I checked .Some of the whole birds are ( it says on it that they are ) but the fillets etc aren't both organic AND free range.
