Every year we run Butchery Classes at our shop in Maldon. We keep the classes small, hands on and competitively priced to give people an introduction to butchery skills related to each subject. As the class levels increase so does the complexity and difficulty. ​If you would like a bespoke one-to-one class, or to arrange a group lesson please get in touch.
