There’s a point every year when you realise summer is starting to slip away.
The evenings are getting shorter, the mornings have a little more of a chill and, before you know it, you’re reaching for a jumper rather than a T-shirt. I must admit I am not really ready for the change in temperature however I am 100% ready for the change in eating habits. I really can not remember a time when we have been blessed with so much consistent warmth and BBQ weather but then again I am really young. I am sooooo ready for a roast!!

Summer is all about keeping things light, fresh and simple. Salads, barbecues, steaks cooked outside, juicy tomatoes, fresh herbs and food that doesn't need much messing about with.
Then autumn arrives — and suddenly we want something completely different.
We want comfort, a cuddle from the plate..... you must be feeling it?
The seasonal switch is upon us.

The barbecue gets used less, the oven slowly emerges from its hibernation
Roasting tins become a regular fixture.
And suddenly the thought of a big, bubbling casserole or a proper Sunday roast sounds far more appealing than another salad.
Autumn is when more flavourful cuts of meat really come into their own and the less BBQ experts among us start to fall back in to our comfort zones.
And that's one of the things we love about this time of year at Block & Butcher.
It's not necessarily about buying more meat, It's about buying the right meat for the way you want to cook. A beautiful steak still has its place, of course. But autumn gives us an excuse to explore the cuts that perhaps don't get as much attention during the summer, lets face it we would feel like idiots cooking an ox cheek when its 33 degrees.

As butchers this seems obvious but maybe as customers it does not however come the Autumn a carcass of meat becomes far more tasty and efficient, we finally get to start stringing roasting joints again and dicing up stewing meat, selling cheeks and tails. Animals have had a chance to chow down on some summer grass (I know, I know) and lay down some all important fat.
Autumn is a very exciting time indeed for our bellies and we can not wait to get our counter displays Autumn ready.

We've been working on something special...

At Block & Butcher, we've created our own signature Mother Sauce.
The goal wasn't to make another sweet, sticky BBQ sauce. We wanted to create the meatiest sauce imaginable.
Rich. Smoky. Deeply savoury. Packed with layers of umami that perfectly complement great meat without overpowering it.
It's the kind of sauce that lingers long after the last bite.
Bold. Beefy. Unforgettable.
