Sat down for a light lunch and ordered a Ploughman's. Expected usual. Got exceptional. The cheese was freshly cut Lincolnshire Poacher. Ham was freshly sliced and full of flavour. Came with a little salad. Perfect dressing. Home made chutney was right up my alley. Bread was fresh and crusty. Simple, quality ingredients worked really well to make this the best ploughman I have had since camping as a young man. Sat down for a light lunch and ordered a Ploughman's. Expected usual.

You really do see me here every week..

It's a small (ok, tiny) shop right next to Balham tube, but manages to fit in more than you'd think. The obvious is the meat - organic/free range, and great home-made sausages and pies. But they also sell some delicatessen like cheeses and cured meat etc..

If this doesn't convince you to buy your meat here, then perhaps the fact that one of the guys working here played a butcher in Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd will! :-)You really do see me here every week..

If you've got a slow cooker and like to turn big bits of touch cheap meat into delicious soft stews then this is the place to come.

The things I like most are:

Whole oxtails, all in one piece
Lamb shanks
Goat
Neck of lamb
Blade of beef
Shin of beef

They also sell all the normal meat but it's the stuff above that gets me excited.

If you're not alarmed by a place with goats heads, circular saws, questionable hygene and hardly anyone in it then give these guys a try. They beat the hell out of Sainsburys!If you've got a slow cooker and like to turn big bits of touch cheap meat into delicious soft stews then this is the place to come.
