There are Londoners and then there are Londoners. William Rose Butchers is one of the former having set up shop in 1862 in inner city Vauxhall. Since 2005 however home has been East Dulwich, where locals pay loyal patronage to this family-run business. With a reputation for exceptional meat, William Rose works with similarly minded organic and free range producers like Foose Meadow Farm (this celebrated happy chicken has adorned many a London table), Rory MacDuff (for traditional Scottish beef matured on the bone) and rare breed beef farmer, Christmas Farm. Seasonality is promoted and at this time of year you’ll find the call of the wild from partridges, pheasants and grouse. There’s a carnivore club for those inclined as well as their range of dinner-to-go solutions. However the real selling point has always been the produce and exceptional service. Local’s agree. On any given Saturday, you need to only look for the queue outside to find your way to this culinary landmark. You wouldn’t accept anything less from a butcher that has been around for 152 years. 126 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich SE22 8HD. Tel: 020 8693 9191 Go local in SE22
