Turnoar Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Cawdrons or Gowers or Massinghams albeit not been to them for a while so hopefully someone in the localities will confirm open etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Butchers in Ludham is excellent. Always visit when on the northern rivers. They close at 13:00 on Saturdays though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulu Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Can’t fault Ludham butchers. Wonderful non foaming bacon is always purchased at the very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Me too. I've always found the bacon from Ludham the best. Their other meat is excellent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maysailor Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I know not on the list but just a recommendation for Hewitt & Grant in Coltishall. A little walk from the moorings or a bit closer if you can get up to the lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 yes the one at coltishall is excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Cooking a nice Beef & Veg Casserole with Dumplings on the Boat that takes Three to four Hours i believe to Cook on the Hob or in the Oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Ludham has the thumbs up for me, love the range of their shop made sausages. The wife can go to the butshers while I can order a pint and a gin and tonic at the Kings Arms almost opposite to save time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesa Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Chapmans of Martham is excellent imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 You need to drive there but I can really recommend Causeway Farm Butchers on the Palling Road between Sea Palling and Ingham. Their beer and treacle bacon is absolutely gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speleologist Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm another fan of Ludham Butchers. Great fresh meat and great pies. Many a Three Rivers Race has seen our crew fuelled by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi as the Big convenience stores are going to a bit of problem supplying prepacked Meat it looks like turn the clocks back to when a load of Butcher shops was a round as I used to work in a Family butcher shop years ago but I'm glad a few very good one's are still around for for us public to get Fresh Meat from the counter as to prepack in the convenience store.

The shortage of lorry drivers could just as easily impact deliveries to the independent butchers shops as well as to the supermarkets. The pandemic and Brexit, not to mention a minor incident in the Suez Canal, have all combined to impact production and delivery of many commodities, compounded by a shortage of labour. Only yesterday, I was talking to a someone in Norfolk, who is aware of a shortage of pickers working in the fields to gather crops, causing them to remain unpicked and rot in the ground. Apparently, us Brits don’t want that sort of employment. It involves poorly paid manual labour and doesn’t involve the use of a desk and computer.

BroadAmbition Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Apparently, us Brits don’t want that sort of employment. It involves poorly paid manual labour and doesn’t involve the use of a desk and computer. I don't geddit, now over 1 x million claiming unemployment benefit, is that correct? If so, of those 1 x million that are physically able to work why doesn't the employment / Job seekers office put two and two together and tell the benefit receivers - 'There's a job there for you, if you turn it down / refuse to work, we will refuse to pay you your tax payers benefits' Is that over simplifying it? I know one thing for sure, if my tiling work dried up, I would happily go work for £10 an hour rather than sit at home on benefits. £10 an hour is still £400 a week, £1'600 a month with the personal tax allowance - gotta be better than receiving benefits Griff 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
