There are bad days in business… and then there are days where you wonder what on earth you’ve got yourself into. 😂

For Joe, his worst came right back in the early days of The Village Butchers.

Thankfully, more than 10 years later, it’s become one of those stories you can look back on and laugh about.

Although judging by his answer, having a camera shoved in his face for Story Time with Joe is rapidly climbing the rankings. 🎥😂

What’s the worst day you’ve ever had at work?

🥩 Know Your Cut: Picanha

If you’re looking to branch out from the usual steak cuts, picanha is well worth knowing about.

Also known as the beef rump cap, it combines tender beef with a distinctive fat cap that renders and crisps as it cooks, adding to its rich, juicy flavour.

🔥 Cook it whole on the BBQ
🥩 Slice it into thick steaks
🔥 Reverse sear it
🧂 Season simply with salt and pepper

For a juicy, tender finish, The Village Butchers recommends medium-rare before resting and carving thinly against the grain.

Our Picanha Beef Rump Cap comes as a 1.2–1.6kg whole joint for £35.99.

💷 What can a butcher buy for a £50 BBQ budget?

We gave Joe £50 and told him to put together his BBQ spread from The Village Butchers.

The rules were simple: pick what you want and try to stay within budget. 🔥

Watch to see what makes Joe’s £50 BBQ… and whether he actually manages to stick to £50. 👀

What would be the first thing in your basket?

🥩 Know Your Cut: Lamb Rump

We’re kicking off our new Know Your Cut series with a cut that might not get as much attention as leg, shoulder or chops.

Lamb rump is tender, full of flavour and incredibly versatile.

As a smaller, boneless cut, it’s a great option when you fancy lamb without committing to one of the larger traditional joints.

🔥 Pan-sear it for a quick dinner
🔥 Get it on the grill
🔥 Roast it
🌿 Pair it with your favourite herbs and seasoning

Our Boneless Lamb Rumps, 1kg Pack are £27.95.

If this has tempted you to try a different cut of lamb, you can find them here:

💬 We showed Jerri some of your comments…

Jerri spends a lot of her time speaking directly to our customers, answering questions and making sure everyone is looked after.

This time, we turned the tables.

We picked out a few of the lovely comments you’ve left on our posts and sat Jerri down to see what she made of them.

There were some very happy reactions, a shared appreciation for the pork and, most importantly, confirmation that L U V L Y is apparently a perfectly acceptable spelling. 😂

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to leave us a comment. We genuinely love reading them.

Keep them coming. You might make the next video. 👀

You know that feeling when you can finally sit back and think: “Job done.” 👏

It could be finishing something you’ve spent months working on, getting through the busiest week of your year or finally achieving something that felt miles away when you started.

For Joe, there’s one particular day at The Village Butchers that gives him that feeling more than any other.

And after hearing his reasoning, we can understand why.

What’s your ultimate “job done” moment? 👇

🌧️ Right then… how did everyone’s Bank Holiday BBQ actually go? 😂

The British weather certainly did its best to interfere with the plans today.

So, did you:

🔥 Brave it and BBQ anyway?
☂️ Find somewhere covered and carry on?
🍳 Admit defeat and move the whole operation indoors?
🍖 Give up on the BBQ completely and go for a roast?

Whatever happened, hopefully you still ended the Bank Holiday with something good on the table.

Tell us what you ended up cooking below. 👇

We sat down with Jerri for the first instalment of our Meet The Team series.

Her official role is looking after Customer Care, but anyone who was at our summer BBQ will know that apparently also means making sure everyone is fed, the tables are sorted and everything is running as it should. 😂

There’s a reason she’s such an important part of The Village Butchers.

We’ll let Jerri tell you the rest herself.
