Pork Butchery Workshop

Master the Art of Pork Butchery in 2026! Get hands-on with one of the most satisfying culinary skills of all: butchery. Our brand-new Pork Butchery Workshop invites you to roll up your sleeves, learn how to break down a loin of British pork from the rib end to the sirloin, and discover the incredible range of cuts hidden within. Hosted in our purpose-built Smoke School Studio in Bermondsey, this immersive session is part education, part craftsmanship, and part feast - celebrating the beauty of the whole animal and the nose-to-tail ethos that defines great cooking. What You’ll Learn In this guided, hands-on session, you’ll: Master the Breakdown - Learn to identify, separate, and prepare each key cut from a whole pork loin, from the rib end to the sirloin.
