National Butchers Week 2022 at HP Westwood
The 7th-14th March 2022 is national butchers week in the UK. One of the most popular dates in the annual butcher’s calendar; the week celebrates and highlights all things meat wholesale.
The UK is blessed with an incredible range of family run and local wholesale butcher shops up and down the country. As a proud and well established Staffordshire slaughterhouse; we thought this opportunity to showcase why wholesale meat in the UK is illustrious should not be passed up.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at what makes meat wholesale, and butchering more broadly, so special in the UK as well as looking at ways you celebrate this prestigious week.
Locally Sourced Meat Produce
In the UK, quality and authentication are of paramount importance when it comes to any consumer purchase.
This is why so many British butchers smartly source meats locally whilst paying particular attention to quality. Great Britain is also unfortunate enough to have many assurance schemes unpinning the authentication of the nationally and locally sold meat.
One of the fabulous schemes run in the UK is, of course, the Red Tractor quality assurance scheme. We have frequently sung the praises of the Red Tractor scheme.
Exceptional Levels of Animal Welfare
British abattoirs have a clear advantage compared to their competitors. That being the exceptional standards of animal welfare most butcher’s are upheld to.
Animal welfare in the UK has been put on the spotlight in recent years due to a much more general awareness and concern for the welfare of livestock in agriculture. One organisation which helps to shape these incredible aforementioned standards is the RSPCA.
HP Westwood are proudly both RSPCA and Red Tractor assured cementation the fact our wholesale meat is produced in accordance with the most thorough and all encompassing auditing regime.
