On 30^th June 2025, the first national butchery awards developed by the butchery industry for the butchery industry is set to take place, and it will be an event not to be missed.

The British Butchery Awards, organised by leading trade organisation National Craft Butchers, seek to recognise and celebrate outstanding butchery businesses, individuals and butchery suppliers nationwide.

Taking place at The Belfry, Nottingham, the awards are supported by Scottish Craft Butchers, The Q Guild and the Institute of Meat and as such mark the coming together of an industry with a proud heritage and an exciting future.

Entries open in January when the hunt will be on for the Best Butchery Business in the North, South, Midlands, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The Black Tie Gala Awards Ceremony will also be where the nations’ Best Young Butcher and Best Butchery Supplier are awarded, alongside other awards yet to be disclosed.

The British Butchery Awards not only promise to be a fabulous evening celebrating the craft of butchery, but also an unrivalled opportunity for networking with the ‘best of the best’ in the butchery world.

Eleanor O’Brien, Managing Director of National Craft Butchers said,

‘We are blessed with some of the most talented butchers in the world. The British Butchery Awards offers them the chance to have their moment in the limelight and be recognised by their fellow butchers.

National Craft Butchers are thrilled to be hosting this event, the first to be solely focused on retail butchery, and we’re already excited about receiving entries in the New Year.’
