From Farm to Fork – It’s Great British Beef Week

From 23rd to 30th April, kitchens across the UK are celebrating Great British Beef Week. This annual campaign isn’t just about quality cuts—it’s about supporting British farmers, promoting sustainable sourcing, and recognising the skill behind professional butchery.

The initiative launched in 2011, led by the Ladies in Beef, a group of female beef farmers. Since then, it has grown into a nationwide celebration of British beef and the full supply chain behind it. For commercial kitchens, restaurants, pubs, butchers, and food retailers, it’s a prime chance to build menus around local meat, highlight seasonal dishes, and show off butchery skills.

This week, we’re spotlighting our top prep and processing picks. These are our most recommended tools—trusted by professionals and built for performance. If you’re breaking down joints or grinding your own mince, this is the kit that keeps your kitchen sharp.

Butchery Begins Here: ACE Butcher’s Blocks & Stands

Before the sirloins sizzle or the briskets braise, everything starts on the butcher’s block. We highly recommend the ACE range. Available in a variety of sizes, these blocks pair with matching stands (sold separately) to suit any setup. Built for serious prep work, they’re ideal for boning, portioning, and trimming. The hardwood surfaces are durable, and the compact footprints fit perfectly into busy commercial kitchens.

Cut with Confidence: Our Top Bone Saws & Grinders

When you’re processing joints in-house, reliable kit makes all the difference. One of our top recommendations is the Sammic SH-155 Bone Saw—designed for high-volume butchery, it takes the strain off your staff while boosting speed and precision. Tough cuts, frozen blocks? No problem. Plus, Sammic process key components in-house, so you’re getting solid engineering, built to last.

And when it’s time to turn beef into burgers, sausages, or signature mince, the Infernus Electric Meat Grinder/Mincer gets it done. Compact, powerful, and easy to clean, it gives you full control over texture, fat content, and freshness.

Show It Off: Present British Beef at Its Best

Once your prep is spot on, it’s time to put the results on display—and we’ve got just the kit for that too. The Blizzard Sigma range of fresh meat serve-over counters keeps your beef beautifully chilled and perfectly presented, ideal for butcheries, farm shops, and front-of-house deli displays. For chilled storage with precision control, the Williams MJ2-SA Meat Cabinet is a firm favourite—built for serious butchery with powerful, reliable performance.

Looking for value without compromise? Our Graded Amalia counter, complete with pans, and the Graded Zeta100 both offer sleek presentation, efficient refrigeration, and savings that make sense. Whether you’re showcasing steaks, mince, or marinated cuts, these counters help your British beef look as good as it tastes.
