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!
With the BBQ season almost upon us (if indeed, it isn’t here already) it’s time to start planning and making those all-important decisions about which products you’ll feature in your barbecue displays.
We live in an increasingly fast-moving world and the demand for “new” from customers is relentless. Sometimes, that need can be satisfied by a clever tweak to an existing product, but now and again, it’s vital to bring in a flavour that really is something different.
We all know the importance of keeping a strong core in our bodies for our health and wellbeing. A strong core gives better balance, good posture and promotes stability. Essentially, a strong, flexible core underpins almost every activity a person undertakes. That means it’s pretty important!
It’s well known that people began to shop locally during the Pandemic and it’s reported that the trend looks set to continue as customers recognise the benefits of dealing with smaller, often friendlier and more knowledgeable retailers.

That’s LESS work for you: MORE delicious meals for your customers!

Well the sun’s been out for a week and we’ve all started moaning that it’s too hot! So, in order to cool things down a bit, we thought we’d turn our attention to guess what?
You guessed it… Autumn!
We know that during this year there’s been a huge increase in the sale of garden furniture, picnic baskets, barbecues and all manner of outdoor eating equipment.
