A Week of Celebrations: The Nation’s Love for Pies and Butchers
This week, we’re celebrating two things the UK holds dear—pies and butchers! It’s British Pie Week (3rd–9th March) and National Butchers’ Week, and we couldn’t be more excited to shine a spotlight on these two national treasures.
National Butchers’ Week
Why Celebrate National Butchers’ Week?
National Butchers’ Week was created to highlight the fantastic work that butchers do and to remind customers why shopping at a traditional butcher’s counter is so special. Supermarkets may offer convenience, but the level of expertise, quality, and care found at an independent butcher is unmatched.
What Sets Our Butchery at Cobbs Apart?
At Cobbs, we take great pride in our butchery, ensuring we provide the highest quality meat while supporting local, ethical farming. Here’s what makes us stand out:
Quality First
We source our meat from local farms that meet our exacting standards for welfare and sustainability.
Ethical Farming Practices
We take an active interest in how our meat is farmed, ensuring high welfare standards are upheld at every stage.
Expert Dry-Aging
Our special dry-aging rooms allow us to mature our beef for a minimum of 28 days, enhancing tenderness and flavour.
Free-Range Pork & Sausages
We only source free-range pork, ensuring our handmade sausages are also of the highest ethical and eating quality.
A Passionate Team
Our butchers aren’t just experts; they’re enthusiasts. Whether you need a recipe recommendation or advice on how to cook your meat, our team is always happy to help.
