Butchery Class

Blackwell’s Butchery Classes by Head Butcher, Glen Amos

Blackwells Butchery Classes give you the opportunity to learn from our highly skilled head butcher, develop new knife skills, and butcher top-quality meat.

 

Each class begins with an introductory talk, safety guidelines, and a demonstration from head butcher, Glen Amos.
You will then be provided with a Blackwells Apron (which will be yours to take home), chain mail gloves, a butcher’s knife, and some fantastic local meat.

 

At the end of the class, you will get to take home a joint of your choosing from your own butchering or all your butchered joints (depending on which class you attend).

 

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting someone else, our classes are perfect for all meat lovers and cooks who wish to develop their knife skills.
