There are two aims with regards to this latest T&G blog post. The first is to make you aware that Christmas is no less than 22 days away now.  The second is give you some inspiration regarding what you could rustle up for your guests. You know, before the main event that is commonly known as Christmas dinner. However...

One of the greatest joys of walking into a butchers, has to be the time spent simply perusing the counter and working out what you fancy taking away for the night.  Of course, some people do walk in with a solid agenda and a huge lump of rib-eye on their minds. Quite often it's a case of 'Wham, bang, thank...

Leaves are now falling to the ground, the air is now turning crisp and now would be a perfect opportunity to wax lyrical about getting all cosy and comfortable for the rest of the year. Why, it even formed the central focus of our latest T&G newsletter. Hmm, yes, slow cuts - all luscious and melting in the mouth...

How many ways do we love to cook steaks, here at Turner & George? Well, let us count the ways. Direct over wood or charcoal is always a good route. Dirty and straight onto searing coals is even better. But a cast iron pan, on a high heat in the kitchen, is also a decent bet. So long as you flip...

Another Meatopia is now done and dusted. Another fine weekend of meat, drink, fire and music is now a sweet memory. But don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. As some tree-hugging, vegan, hippy must have said. At one time or another. And if you missed the shenanigans, do not fret. There is always next year. For the...

Placing a huge hunk of beef, straight down on some glowing white coals, flickering with flame, does sound counter-intuitive, doesn't it? After all, if you've gone all that way to sourcing something that is proper and ethical, and full of flavour - and costing a pretty penny too - why on earth should you try to burn the bejaysus out of...

Hands up if you love a good Scotch Egg. Of course you do. Everyone loves a Scotch Egg. After reading that first sentence, there will no doubt be a veritable 'swooshing' sound, up and down the land, as arms and hands go flying up. Depending of course, on how many people read this post at any given time! It...

Out of all the sausages we make at Turner & George, the Butcher's Dog is perhaps the best one of all. You have to be careful making such statements, mind. It's a bit like suddenly announcing who your favourite child is, at a family BBQ or wedding anniversary party. The needle can come scratching right off the record with that...

At T&G Towers, we are always keeping our beady eyes on what's cooking out there. On Twitter, Instagram and even Facebook. So much so, that collectively, we spend a large proportion of the day staring at our screens, crossed-eyed, with drool running down our t-shirts. Such is the addictive nature of social meeja. And every now and then, we...

Earlier this month, the carnivorous fiesta that is Meatopia descended upon the green shores of Dublin, and nestled itself at The Open Gate Brewery. For the uninitiated, this is where the mighty Guinness family experiment and play around with brewing a whole host of different beers. It is not always about the black stuff. Formally titled 'Guinness X Meatopia...

Of all the mighty chops available, perhaps the Barnsley Chop is one of the best to eat and enjoy. This chop - which is basically a thick, double-loin of lamb, cut from the saddle - might be regarded as slightly old fashioned by some. Aficionados, all sexy and hip, tend to gravitate towards lamb Tomahawks, or tender and ubiquitous racks of lamb...

For some time now, as many of you will be aware, we have been at the forefront of promoting and selling Spanish beef, both online and in the shop. This gloriously full-flavoured and densely marbled meat, sourced from the hills of Galicia and the cider lands of the Basque country, is rather special; for the simple reason that it comes...
