this is good news for Dulwich village

i will pop in once it opens but i bet they will be a bit pricey for me as the overheads for the village shops will over spill onto us the customer


went into Scotch Meats Independent Fine Foods Rosendale road and was expensive

i think i will be sticking to William rose on lordship lane or the butchers in Nunhead

William Rose isn't organic and its very expensive (imho) .......

And the fact that it says "organic and free range" in large letters outside, despite the fact that much of it isn't organic (don't know if all the rest is free range).

There are alternatives to WR and this new butchers in the Village. Personally I use and can happily recommend W,Buntings on Peckham Park Road, it's on the 78 bus route just off Peckham Hill street close to the junction with the Old Kent Road. I always get well looked after, is a family run business who care about what they do.

Personally I think William Rose is great and some of their basics are very good value, better quality than the biggest local supermarket but a comparable cost. That said, they've been doing what they do for a while and another gourmet butcher in the area will probably inspire them to greater heights.


Bring on the meat war!

These guys are great. It may not look as suave as WR but I?ve been using them both personally and professionally for six years. They supply a surprising number of well known restaurants, including Franklin?s. Chris and Mark really know their stuff.

Can anyone really tell the difference between a chicken from the butchers and an organic free range chicken> Apart from the cost. Because I certainly don;t think I could and I very much many others could either. Usually a nice plump chicken from the butchers comes in at under a tenner. I vary rarely buy pre-packed meat from the supermarket, much prefer the butchers because I know it is fresh.

Just shows you what suckers we are really.


They were selling rib eye at ?28.50 per kg the last time I went in. And of course I bought it as it was the only rib eye they had that particular Saturday.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
