The nights are drawing in…
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!
Lucas News
Take a look at some of the latest developments happening at Lucas. In this, our News & Events section you will find a collection of recent news articles and a list of up and coming events.
We’ve Got Summer Summed Up!
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. Whilst we’ve been stuck at home, we must all have been dreaming about being outside and now’s the time that the dreaming can at last, become a reality.
Staycation Food for the Nation!
This Summer, “Staycation” will mean different things to different people. For some it will involve actually getting away somewhere in the UK, but for many it will mean making the most of being at home and spending time with the family and friends. It’s expected that local parks and beauty spots will continue to be incredibly popular, with people choosing a lovely relaxing picnic, or al fresco home-prepared meal, rather than a potentially stressful overseas trip.
Get Ready NOW – The Barbecues Are Coming Out!
Following the recent announcement of a planned relaxing of COVID restrictions, garden centres are, apparently, running out of furniture, pots, plants, firepits and barbecues. There’s been a run on fence paint and sales of outdoor picnic ware has rocketed.
Katsu – It’s NEW!
If you haven’t come across “Katsu” yet, you certainly will before too long. This savoury crunchy crispy coating has featured in Japanese cuisine for generations. It’s similar in form to what is perhaps a bit more familiar – the German schnitzel.
New For 2021!
In January 2021, we’ve launched two exciting new Easicoat Coaters along with a Butchers Classic Sausage Mix and a Smokehouse Sausage Mix. Even better, they’re all available to our customers right now!
Eat at Home Continues. Time to get creative with Lucas brands…
As the lockdown goes on, so must we all – and more than ever, customers are relying on their local butcher to help them through these difficult times.
95 Years for Queen and Lucas!
It’s so important these days to find something positive to talk about and choose how you look at it, it has to be something to celebrate that the Queen will reach her 95th birthday this year. We’re certainly celebrating, as Lucas will also be 95 this year!
With thanks from the team at Lucas…
It’s certainly been a very tough year for everyone, but we wanted to take this opportunity to say a special thanks to all our customers in the butchery trade, who have made an amazing contribution throughout 2020.
Make Christmas 2020 a Cracker with Lucas
This year, more than ever before, it will be important for butchers to stand out from the high street crowd and to come up with some cracking creative ideas that will make a stay-at-home Christmas much more interesting and enjoyable for your customers.
