December Butchers' Specials

December 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.

Starting with beef shin, trimmed into our signature ‘Thor’s Hammer’ cut, this is a real showstopper. Often barbecued or slow smoked, it’s equally impressive cooked low and slow in the oven. Try it bourguignon style, or with a British slant, braised in stout and served over crushed root veg with a hit of horseradish.

If a whole shin feels like too much, our diced shin is a superb alternative, especially in a fragrant, fiery rendang.

December is also the perfect time to be eating venison. Lean, deeply flavourful and versatile, it fits into all kinds of cuisines. Val Warner’s Pad Krapow uses our venison mince to great effect, while the diced venison is ideal in a traditional pasty. A brilliant ingredient at both ends of the spectrum.

Finally, for something rich and restorative, try our Toulouse sausage in a proper cassoulet. It’s the quintessential winter dish, deeply comforting and a one-pot wonder for cold days.
