April Butchers' Specials

April Butchers' Specials

As a whole-carcass butcher, we are committed to supplying nose-to-tail produce - not just the prime or popular cuts, but every part of the animal. Achieving balance in the rate at which we sell all parts of the carcass, known as 'carcass balance,' is the holy grail of whole-animal butchery and a delicate craft.

We’re proud to work with restaurants that celebrate fresh, high-quality food and have the skill to prepare a wide variety of dishes. As our community of chefs evolves their menus and introduces exciting new blackboard specials, certain cuts see higher demand. This dynamic calls for flexibility to maintain balance in our whole-carcass butchery.

Welcoming Lighter Days and Brighter Plates

And just like that, we’re already a quarter of the way through the year. It feels like only weeks ago we were clinging to New Year’s resolutions and bracing ourselves for the long tail of winter. Blink - and suddenly, it’s April. Surely one of the highlights of the calendar year: the final frost has likely passed, the clocks have changed, and the first barbecue or beer garden outing is firmly on the cards. Exciting times indeed.

In our kitchens, we find ourselves in the UK’s “hunger gap” - that quiet pause between winter’s final harvest and spring’s full bounty. But fresh inspiration is arriving from the continent: artichokes, courgettes, broad beans, peas - a vibrant reminder of what’s to come.

A great place to start is our gammon steak recipe with leeks and sauce gribiche - a dish that makes the most of one of the few UK-grown vegetables currently in season. It’s a simple, satisfying midweek supper with plenty of flavour.

Looking for something a little more offbeat? Try sautéing pig’s liver in olive oil with garlic and broad beans, then deglaze the pan with fino sherry. Serve with a crisp fried egg and a dusting of smoked paprika - rich, earthy, and delicious.

For a lighter twist on a classic joint, roast a topside rare and serve it thinly sliced with a creamy, punchy tonnato sauce - a nod to Northern Italy, and a brilliant way to reimagine this affordable cut.

And if you're in the mood for lamb: a pair of lamb leg steaks, cooked to a perfect blush, paired with roasted baby artichokes - leaves crisp, hearts tender. Finish with a spoonful of lamb sauce and a generous dollop of wild garlic salsa verde for a proper celebration of spring.
