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...

If you are a fan of rugby, you are probably chomping at the bit with the prospect of this weekend. For the Guinness Six Nations Championship will be heading towards its thrilling end, with 3 games to watch, in one day. Otherwise known as Super Saturday. And despite a resurgent Welsh team smashing their way through and winning all their games...

Instagram is responsible for a lot of unsavoury things.  Take the proliferation of avocado on toast, shakshuka and beetroot brownies, covered in gold dust, on there. What's that all about? Why are there so many accounts devoted to these three dishes? Sure, given that they are all commonly vegetarian, or vegan, you might be able to appreciate our ire . But really, what...

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and for those out there who are romantically inclined, no doubt you are frantically working out what to do right now. Do you go to the local bistro and pay over the odds to share an overdone chateaubriand and overpriced bottle of plonk - with every other Tom, Dick and Harry? Do you try and...

All of our pork comes from native-breed pigs, that have been reared outdoors, on British farms; and it should come as no surprise that we are supremely confident of the quality and flavour of the meat. But there is always room to push things up a notch or two. Which is why we also offer something extra special in our...

It may now be 2019 - Happy New Year everyone btw! - but the dust has barely yet to settle over at T&G headquarters.  This is in part due to mania of Christmas and New Year. Butchers up and down the land, never really get to rest over the festive period.  As soon as December edges into sight, it is...
