❤️ A little post I was strictly forbidden from putting up until now… ❤️

Today we said a proper goodbye to our lovely Janice.

Janice has been part of Cooper Butchers — and really, part of our family — for over 20 years. Janice decided to retire a while back, but luckily for us she wasn’t quite ready to leave us completely and stayed on for one day a week. Today, though, was officially her last day with us. 🥹❤️

I would have loved the banners, balloons and a big send-off, but anyone who knows Janice will know that was absolutely NOT happening! 😂 I was under strict instructions: no fuss. So I behaved myself… until she had safely left the building! 🤣

It’s hard to sum up what Janice has meant to us over all those years. She is one of the hardest-working people you could ever meet, always willing to go above and beyond, and someone you could rely on completely.

She knew our customers — and our customers knew and loved her. She had time for everyone, knew all the chat, and was simply part of the place. ❤️

And it wasn’t just the customers. Every member of staff who has worked alongside Janice has loved her too. She has been a colleague, a friend and a huge part of Cooper’s for more than two decades.

On a personal level, I absolutely adore her and will miss having her around more than she probably realises. ❤️

So, now that she can’t stop me…

Thank you, Janice. For more than 20 years of hard work, loyalty, laughs, friendship and for everything you have done for me, my family, our staff and our customers.

You really are one of a kind. ❤️

Enjoy putting your feet up properly now — although knowing Janice, I’m not convinced she actually knows how! 😂

We’ll all miss you. Happy retirement, Janice! 🥂❤️

And I’m sure plenty of our customers will want to join us in wishing her well too. ❤️

🥩 FROM FARM TO FORK 🚜

Every cut of meat on a butcher's counter has a story that began long before it reached the shop.

🐄 It starts on the farm.
🔨 Continues through careful livestock selection.
🥩 Takes time, maturation and skilled whole-carcass butchery.
🔎 And throughout the journey, traceability tells us where our food has come from.

This week in The Cooper Kitchen, we're following that journey and looking at the people, knowledge and craftsmanship behind every great cut.

You might be surprised by just how much happens before your Sunday roast ever reaches the table!

What does it actually take to become a butcher? 🔪

For many people, it's someone serving behind the counter.

In reality, it's years of learning, mastering traditional skills, understanding every cut, developing your own techniques and taking real pride in producing food that families trust.

In this week's The Cooper Kitchen, we're taking you behind the scenes to explore the craft of traditional butchery, why these skills matter more than ever, and how they're being passed on to the next generation.

Congratulations once again to Andrew on completing his apprenticeship – a fantastic achievement and a great example of how traditional skills continue to be passed from one generation to the next. 👏
