We are firmly in National Butchers Week which shines a spotlight on the expertise of butchers and emphasizes the value of buying local.
Putting high-quality, ethically sourced meats on the kitchen table while supporting independent businesses is no doubt at the forefront of people’s minds.
Running from March 2-8, the initiative aims to support, promote and appreciate our local butchers and the essential role they play in maintaining premium food quality and sustainability.
The weather also seems to be behaving. Derby is set to bask in double-digit temperatures, tempting intrepid foodies to explore the very best of al fresco dining at home with a good old barbeque.
There is nothing quite so satisfying as the sizzle of succulent sausages on the hot griddle, and diving into beautiful burgers loaded with tasty condiments.
