ken78 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 see the same as any other butchers then, but you think you are getting better as it's from w r Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65930-william-rose/page/3/#findComment-907568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueskye Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 They have a variety of chicken, including free range I think. I bought the family pack, it was awesome and the meat quality is amazing. Had two chicken roasts in a row! Try boiling couple lemons for 12mins, stuff, oil and season...yum! I have only had good friendly customer service and brilliant quality meat from WR butchers. They have tons of young (and lovely mature!)friendly employees, people have off days remember!

Jah Lush Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I bought a family box there yesterday. It's a very good deal. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65930-william-rose/page/3/#findComment-907890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Never had any complaints in WR. Service can be a little rushed on busy weekend days but that's understandable. Meat has almost always been very good, and most things are reasonable value.But we live closer to Flock and Herd these days, so normally use that instead.

davidq100 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'll vouch for the family box: it certainly 'feels' like good value for ?20. They pick the items that make-up the "box" (it's a plastic bag actually) individually from the counter in front of you so it's not some kind of inferior option to what they'd sell separately. It's equivalent in price - or maybe slightly cheaper - than buying the same items at a local supermarket.

DulwichFox Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Was in W.R. recently.. Bought some chicken.. and some bacon.. The person serving me handled the chicken.. (No plastic Gloves but that would not of made any difference.) Then picked up a big pile of bacon rashers and separated what I wanted and put the rest back.. Cross contamination ??? Basic hygiene ?? Not a one off.. Lack of training... Its a joke..

red devil Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Quite often see on TV, chefs handling raw meat and then proceeding to chop up veg, handle serving plates etc without washing their hands. I'm quite fussy about cross-contamination after seeing someone at Uni get rushed to hospital after eating celery he'd chopped up with the same knife he'd used on raw chicken...

Jeremy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah but... handling different types of raw meat with the same gloves. Is that really an issue? It's all going to get cooked (genuine question, I am not particularly clued up about this stuff).

I doubt if had it been ham anything would of been different. And the bacon put back in the window would continue to grow any bacteria which could be transferred by the purchaser when they handled it at home. It's just bad practice and does not inspire confidence. Foxy.

Azira Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes it is, because meat has to be cooked to a certain temperature for a certain period of time to kill the bacteria and not everyone would necessarily cook bacon for instance at 167 degrees for 10 minutes.

These gloves are worn in all such establishments.. Supermarkets.. This is to protect the counter staff from handling with bare hands.. It is usual to use tongs to handle bacon / ham .. Also handling money and then food is another no no.. Most sandwich bars in the city have a separate person to take money.. It's simple basic hygiene ... ..and years ago we were generally unaware of such hygiene problems..

njc97 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Fox, the meat will cross contaminate when sat next to each other in the counter. I can't think of a local butcher who uses tongs to pick up bacon but I nor can I think of one that wouldnt wash their hands (or put on clean gloves) to handle cooked meat after having handled raw meat: that is basic hygiene.Can't vouch for WR but other butchers don't handle raw meat and money with the same hands: they are particular about using one for meat and one for money. After getting both dirty (eg when cutting a large bit of meat) they'll wash their hands before handling money.

Calsug Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 To be honest I have seen plenty of sandwich shops that handle money and food together and yes that is in theory a problem as you are going to eat immediately, but then you handled the money and then get given your sandwich so really what is the difference? I know its not best practice but think I would be more concerned about the general hygiene and food storage of the shop When it comes to raw meat though are you honestly telling me that any germs on the money are going to survive a cooking at 180 degrees??I'm a big fan of WR, I think their meat is well priced, good quality and service is fantastic. Okay judging by the OP maybe a few new staff still need training or you might catch one on an off day but we are all human so you can't always expect the very very bestI have been using them for a number of years now and will continue to do so, you get a far better produce than anything in a supermarket, the animal welfare is almost certainly better and you will get someone in there who will tell you the best way to cook it etc...
