A new butcher has registered with Richmond Council at 189 Castelnau, the parade running north from Barnes towards Hammersmith Bridge. Greenfield Artisan Butcher appears on the national food hygiene register as a new registration awaiting its first inspection. No rating has been issued yet, so the shop is at the beginning of the process rather than the end of it.
Castelnau is a long shopping parade, and an independent butcher is the kind of trade that gives residents a reason to stop on the way home rather than drive to Mortlake or the High Street. The question is whether it lasts: the test will be the first inspection result and whether the shutters are up on a Tuesday morning in December.
- Greenfield Artisan Butcher is registered as a food business at 189 Castelnau, Barnes.
- The business is listed as a new registration awaiting its first hygiene inspection, with no rating yet issued.
