National Butchers' Week takes place every year on the second week of March. This year that falls on Monday 7th to Sunday 13th and perhaps you are wondering why we put this date in our diary?
Well, the idea behind the week originally came from creating an opportunity for butchers to engage with their customers to remind them about the great work that they do and highlight what sets them apart from the competition, and particularly supermarkets.
So, what sets our butchery at Cobbs apart from others?
Firstly, the core focus of our counter is quality. We look to source our meat from local farms, whose standards of welfare and attention to detail match our exacting standards.
We take an active interest in the farming techniques being used, as well as ensuring welfare standards are kept high through all stages of the animals' life. Read more about this in our Eat Better Meat blog post here.
We have the ability at Cobbs to enhance the quality of our beef in our special dry-aging rooms. These rooms have been specifically designed to ensure the best conditions in which to mature the beef, we look to dry-age for a minimum of 28 days.
We source free-range pork only, and although this does cost us more, we believe the cost is justified by the ethical farming and eating quality of the meat. It also means that our handmade sausages are all free-range too!
Lastly, it is our knowledgeable and passionate team of butchers that really sets us apart! The team is always on hand to recommend the best cuts for your recipes and instruct you on how to prepare your meat. They have a genuine passion and belief in what we do at Cobbs and are always eager to share this with our customers.
We are very proud to be able to offer an apprenticeship scheme at Cobbs Butchery too, we currently have four apprentices learning the trade and investing in their future careers.
