If you have been to the shop lately,  you will have noticed that we are currently stocking a fine selection of wines from St John. Namely Picpoul, Rosé, Macon, Claret and Bien Autre. All fantastic drops and all expertly blended by Victoria Sharples, who is Head of Wine Operations at St John. To celebrate their arrival, we recently held a small wine...

Give us a R. Give us a U Give us a M Give us a P What have you got? *squints* It's rump steak of course and we've hit the ground running with a slightly cheerleader-esque start to this post because in our opinion, this traditional cut should be celebrated a bit more. Ask...

Did Meatopia really finish up just a couple of days ago? After all that anticipation, excitement and lead-up, it feels like the whole weekend went by in a veritable blur. And for some members of Turner & George it did! (*cough* Tom...) But it was definitely a cracker this year. The atmosphere was buzzing, the music was thumping - and...

As if we didn't already have to tell you, the August Bank Holiday weekend is fast approaching. In fact, it all kicks off tomorrow and judging by the weather forecast, we are set for three days of glorious sunshine. Optimum conditions then for grilling and smoking outdoors. Of course, you may be the sort of forward thinking mage who has already...

A couple of weeks ago, we posted a picture of a pig's head on Instagram, as a statement to show our commitment to nose to tail eating. Out of respect for the animal and the environment, at T&G, we believe that nothing should go to waste. We've even got a recipe on this very blog, thanks to Andrew Clarke. The...

When you have a cut or joint of decent meat, apart from applying some unadulterated seasoning, should you really worry about anything else? It's a good question but from our point of view, the easy answer is no. Let the meat do the talking for itself. Especially when it is sourced from UK ex-dairy cattle. In terms of...

In the butcher's lexicon, there is - it has to be said - a whole host of slang, names and terminology that ordinarily would swoop over most of our heads. Largely because they make no sense. Cuts such as the popes-eye, coulotte and the London Broil often get whispered with quiet aplomb behind the counter. And a mention of...

On first glance, you have to admit, this does look like a damn good burger.  The patty itself is a White Label Burger, currently only available via our UK Ex-Dairy 'Taster' Box - made from a secret blend of aged cuts and sourced from happy, retired cows. There is a handsome amount of melted cheese, which could be that really naughty...

Picking a winning BBQ dish isn't easy. It really isn't. Not when faced with so many glorious incarnations of meat, that have been marinated and flavoured, and burnished with fire and smoke. We had over thirty entries for our Thuros competition. All bound together over various  T&G social media channels by the very imaginative hashtag: #TGBBQCOMP. And when I presented them...

Easter is just around the corner now and many of you are no doubt plotting and scheming activities for the extended break. Be it hopping up to the coast for the day or say, nipping off to the countryside for some camping. Before scurrying immediately back home because the heavens have decided to open up and someone forgot to pack the...

The clocks went forward this weekend and despite losing a precious hour of sleep, there is a lot to celebrate. It means that spring is officially here, the days will get progressively longer and there is going to be more opportunity to crank up the BBQ  for grilling steaks, burgers and sausages; or smoking wonderful hulks of meat in the great...

Mother's Day or Mothering Sunday is on the horizon, gang. And of course, the number one question on everyone lips this week is going to be - 'Mum, what do you want for Mother's Day?' Now, depending on your beloved Mum, that could be asking for trouble. Just the other day, word got to us about a Mum in...
