What an amazing butchers this is. We needed something great for our Christmas dinner this year so we took the trip from Crystal Palace to Balham to see if Chadwick's could sort us out, as we'd heard good things.

This is a tiny shop (right next door to Balham station) but inside is a warm, friendly place full of mouth watering treats and a really friendly peopel behind the counter. Even at the busy Xmas time they were helpful and gave us some advice on what to order.

The rolled pork loin wasn't cheap (£30 for 2kg) but it's organic and the flavour was amazing...it really made our Xmas dinner and we had so much we were able to cut it in half and freeze some to cook another day.

Chadwick's also have a great selection of sausages, pates and pickles, as well as all the usual meats. And I even picked up a pack of organic mince pies while I was there - very tasty indeed.

If you're in South London and not a vegetarian definitely get yourself down to Chadwicks.
