The fifth National Butchers’ Week takes place between March 25th-31st 2012 and promises to be bigger and better than ever with butchers, schools and consumers nationwide all set to take part.
The annual event – which is organised by leading industry magazine Meat Trades Journal and supported by key industry sponsors – aims to raise support for butchers throughout the UK.
Dozens of special recipes to try out before, during and after National Butchers’ week – all celebrating the UK’s rich heritage as a nation of meat lovers – can already be found at http://www.nationalbutchersweek.co.uk/page/recipes.html.
And shoppers can get into the spirit of the week by popping down to their local butcher, thousands of which will be holding special events throughout the week, from meat masterclasses to special recipe competitions.
More information, including a special ‘Ask the Expert’ section, can be found at www.nationalbutchersweek.co.uk, while meat lovers can find their nearest butcher by logging on to www.findabutcher.co.uk and simply typing in their postcode.
Meanwhile, hundreds of schools are expected to take part in special sausage and burger making lessons (see http://www.nationalbutchersweek.co.uk/page/schools.html for more details).
