According to local, David Bertram:
“I was in Armstrongs butchers this morning and the proprietor confirmed that they have signed to take the former Frisby shop and hope to open from early August. He said they’d had some run ins with the ‘elf-n-safety’ goons who had wanted all the old tiles taken down(!) but that they hoped to be able to retain most of the interior as-is.
Great news and hope that everyone will support them, though the quality of their products speaks for itself and I don’t think they should have too many problems round here.”
Good news if it happens… now for the bakery….
Armstrongs of Richmond is an excellent butchers on 205 Lower Mortlake Rd, Richmond, TW9 2LP

I have heard from a number of different people that the Kobler's site is to become a cheese shop.
Maddie Racionzer on 2007-05-10 15:51:58 +0000Looking forward to a butcher's - and I heard rumour of a cheese shop coming to St Margarets too. A baker's would be great- then we would have high street heaven, and this time I'd use it.
debbie on 2007-05-10 16:05:14 +0000Great news about Frisby's old shop. Looking forward to shopping there again along with my neighbours. We thought the picture tiles had to be kept because of their age. Now when is a baker cum cake shop taking over Koblers.
McCreddie M (Mac) on 2007-05-10 17:53:15 +0000From what I understood no baker is coming to St Margarets instead we are getting a cheese shop.
Maddie Racionzer on 2007-05-10 19:11:39 +0000The guys planning to open the cheese shop are due to take over the lease on the old 'near and far' shop at number 6 Crown Road not the old bakers which I hear is now back on the market.
simon chapman on 2007-05-10 22:15:21 +0000What excellent news. And cheese, too, at Near & Far! Lots of rubbish has disappeared from Kobler's window, I notice, so it looks as if SOMETHING'S happening.
Rog on 2007-05-13 23:54:28 +0000Yes - it is true! - a specialist cheese shop could be opening soon (subject to the legal boring stuff!) - and seeing as there is no baker at present we will sell bread too - as you can't eat cheese without bread, can you??!
Looking forward to meeting you all on the opening night....and obviously afterwards....
Now then, although I know what kind of cheese to stock, if anybody has an urge for a particular cheese that you find difficult to obtain, or just want it supplied locally - let me know! David :)
DAVID on 2007-05-25 15:33:31 +0000Great news about both the cheese shop and the butcher's. I had heard there was going to be yet another estate agents!
emer on 2007-06-13 11:19:01 +0000Latest from Armstrongs is they plan to open on 6 August.
Wish they hadn't removed the old Popes Grove telephone number from the cashier's booth, though.
