During Summer – especially a Summer like we’re enjoying this year, it’s a tricky one to have to start thinking about Autumn, but every retail butcher knows, that’s exactly what we have to do. With the barbecue season over, butchers need to turn their thoughts to perhaps being a bit more creative and even adventurous in order to keep customers’ interest.
Since its launch over a decade ago, the Lucas Butchers Classic range of complete sausage and burger mixes has gone from strength to strength. There are a number of reasons for this, but the one that’s paramount is that butchers like using them and people like eating them!
At last, the warmer weather has arrived and we dare to actually think it might be Summer! That means, of course, that it’s time to cover your counter in fabulous foods that are just right for the season. In other words, barbecue, snacking items, sharing platters and picnic foods.
Since their original launch over 10 years ago, the products in the Butchers Classic range of sausage and burger mixes have boomed in popularity. And there’s just one reason for this: butchers and their customers really like them!

They see that there is extra value in buying from someone who is an integral part of the community and that more often than not, they will find competitive prices and plenty of choice.
That’s LESS work for you: MORE delicious meals for your customers!
The development team at Lucas draws upon all the latest food technologies, trends and best practices to produce a huge range of ready-blended, complete mixes that are not only ready to use, they’re easy to use too…
There’s a lot of conversation in the media about eating, or not eating meat and over recent months the noise has got louder.
