117 Lupus Street looks, from the outside at least, just like any other small neighbourhood retail butcher's shop, but in fact it much more than that. Freeman's supplies meat to a vast range of top end restaurants, clubs and institutions.
Their real speciality is aged Scottish beef, it is the equal of any on sale in London without the totally impossible prices charged by the glitzier 'fashionable' establishments, it is superb beyond belief, they know it and take great pride in it often asking if I was satisfied with the last purchase.
Another strength is their plain English traditional pork sausages, these are weep-ably good and come in two sizes.
I don't know where they source their chickens but they are full of flavour, delicious and well worth buying.
Freeman's really care about their products, they are ever keen for feedback from their customers and are always cheerful, respectful and most polite.
There are two points that need to be noted.
Because of the wholesale side of the business the shop closes daily at 12.30pm.
In the summer the retail side of the business closes for the month of August, during this period I tend to become somewhat vegetarian!
A real hidden gem. read more
