The deep history of UK butchers
For centuries, butchers have been a part of the United Kingdom’s history, with records of butchers dating back to the 12th century. During the 16th century, butchers were a staple in British towns and cities, supplying fresh meat to the growing urban population. The introduction of refrigeration during the Victorian era allowed butchers to store and transport larger quantities of meat, allowing them to become more widespread.
In the 20th century, butchers were an integral part of the war effort, providing meat to soldiers in the trenches and civilians on the home front. Even today, butchers remain an important part of British culture, providing quality, locally sourced meat to the nation.
National Butchers week celebrates the important role that butchers have played in British society for centuries. Whether you’re a fan of traditional butchering techniques or looking to try something new, National Butchers Week is the perfect time to visit your local butcher and support the industry.
How can a butcher benefit your catering business?
At the beginning of March, we celebrated National Butchers Week and the amazing work they do to bring us fresh, high-quality meats. Butchers are essential to the catering industry, providing cost savings and the ability to get bulk and custom orders. Moreover, butchers have the knowledge and expertise to help with the selection and preparation of meats for catering businesses.
At the core of what butchers do is providing us with fresh and high-quality meats. Their ability to do so is something we should celebrate, as it allows us to serve the best possible meats to our customers. Butchers also provide cost savings, which can play a big role in making sure our catering businesses are as profitable as possible.
Additionally, butchers offer the convenience of being able to get bulk orders, so you don’t have to go to multiple places to get what you need. Furthermore, they can provide custom orders so you can get the exact cuts of meat that you need for your catering business. Finally, butchers offer the invaluable knowledge and expertise to help with the selection and preparation of meats.
National Butchers Week is the perfect time to recognize the work butchers do, both for the catering industry and for consumers. We should all take the time to appreciate their hard work and thank them for providing us with fresh and high-quality meats.
