🔪🐷 What’s on the Block 🐷🔪

We’re a little late with last week’s What’s on the Block, so this week we’ve got 3 chapters for you to make up for it!

Chapter 1: Craig breaks down a side of pork, showcasing the skill, precision and craftsmanship that goes into preparing the quality cuts you see in our shop every day.

From the whole side to the individual cuts, it’s a great look behind the scenes at the work our butchers do.

👇 Check out the comments to see if you can identify all the cuts from our piggy!

A full range of traditional beef cuts, ready for both the counter and the block.
Neck, shin, clod, blade, flank and LMC are ideal for slow braising, mincing and dicing – full of flavour and perfect for pies, stews and long cooks.

From the same side we’ve also prepared chuck, brisket and fore-rib: chuck and brisket for rich slow roasts or low‑and‑slow smokers, and fore‑rib for a premium roasting joint with excellent marbling and tenderness.

All cut in-house by our own butchers, trimmed and prepared for maximum flavour and value across the whole carcass.

Today we’re celebrating our very own Colin ❤️

After ringing the cancer bell to mark the end of his treatment, we couldn’t be prouder of him. Colin has been part of the Willsher’s family for 25 years, and throughout everything he has faced, he has shown incredible strength, determination and positivity.

You’ve been amazing through your whole treatment, Colin, and we are all so proud of you. Now it’s time to rest up, recover, and we’ll be ready to welcome you back to work when you’re feeling up to it.

The whole Willsher’s family is behind you 💪
