Our specialised courses are created for those within the food industry, from entry to chef level, who all have a passion for creating beautiful meals and learning more about their trade and how to get the best from it. A London Butchery Academy course will give an attendee everything they need to know about the fascinating world of butchery and how to treat the meat they are working with.

Choose from entry-level butchery to nose-to-tail product development and immerse yourself in the world of meat. IMS of Smithfield are renowned for its expertise within the meat industry, and learning the butchery trade by their side will give you access to a wide variety of skills and understanding.
What can you expect to learn whilst training?
No matter what workshop you attend at the London Butchery Academy, you will come away with various experiences and new techniques. Whether you want to learn about carcass optimisation, muscle formation or basic knife handling, you are sure to get what you booked for and more! Our acclaimed butchery academy offers one-day courses to get you in line with the basic skills you need to become a chef or butcher, plus a more in-depth understanding of continuing in your chosen chef career and handling meat like a master craftsman.
Our courses are designed to be bespoke to the attendees, and that’s why you will never see more than 8-10 people at a workshop at any time.
