Sadly Peter the butcher passed away suddenly a few months ago. So far as I know the shop hasn’t reopened since his demise.

Peter Sargent is a decent hardworking man – his meat is top notch. He is the last butchers down Bethnal Green….I miss the old BG Road…..keep up the good work Peter…Tesco’s food is processed rubbish!!

Now that’s a proper butcher! Sawdust on the chop’s floor happily takes me back more years than I care to count, back to the first time a butcher reached over the counter to hand me a wiener while my mother shopped.

Why would anybody buy meat from a supermarket? 9 times out of 10 it’s inedible tough tasteless rubbish that I’d think twice about before serving to my dog. I drive past 4 large supermarkets and 9 kms to my butcher and it’s worth every mouthful

I must admit I do love a good sausage and this blokes sausages look like they would be to die for; thank you or another delightful post. I shall now go raid my refrigerator.

You go Peter!

As someone who hasn’t bought from a supermarket in 20 years as I like to support the small independent/local shops/farmers markets, I salute you!

One of the most frustrating factors for me is that the British consumer still hasn’t realised that buying food produce from trusted outlets (that would exclude a number of supermarket chains) you get better produce at better value, support the economy of small retailers AND stand a better chance to look after your health. (you can monitor where produce comes from) I call this a Win-Win-Win situation.

Surely that’s a no-brainer?

Peter, keep on making yourself heard, something the British are not so good at. And as for Tesco, the bullies, rather pathetic and small-minded behaviour! That, to me, sums them up in one!

Proper meat from a proper butchers shop.The you know what you are buying & where it comes from.Our butcher has a list each week saying which farm the meat is from& in a lot of cases its cheaper than supermarket meat.

Great news! Now I know where I’m off to get my meat in future.

Well-done, Mr Peter Sargent! Telling the people what is better for them — I would have done it the same way.

Should I happen to be in London Town, I would like to visit your shop!

Love & Peace

My dad worked as a teenager in Gunner’s butchers in the 1930s. He learned the rudiments of back-slang there and taught me various phrases when I was quite young. Mum was from Yorkshire and wasn’t too happy about that but she feigned amusement. I can still remember some of it but it’s about as much use as knowing Manx or Cornish where we live.
