Demonstration of breaking a whole pig or lamb followed by instruction and hands on butchering. You’ll take home the meat you cut and a head full of inspiration and knowledge.

We take the whole body of an animal, discuss where it came from, how it lived and how that informs the quality and structure of the carcass. Our butcher will demonstrate the whole carcass break and show you how it’s formed (very similar to our bodies) and then get to the detail of individual cuts. You'll then be given your own section to bone out, trim and finesse. You’ll learn a lot about provenance, texture and anatomy and practical knife skills. We end each class with a sampling of barbecued meats and a jar of locally-brewed beer.

Some of the things our customers said about a recent whole pig class (the whole lamb class is exactly the same format)...

'Fabulous whole pig butchery class yesterday. Professional and helpful and dealt superbly with the range of skill levels in the class. Great to learn from people who are passionate about their business and the meat they sell. Will definitely be back to buy from them and to learn more! We cooked our pork last night and I don't think I've ever had better. Thanks Feather and Bone!'

'Did something different this weekend - a butchery course @featherandboneprovidore ... Learnt a great deal about sustainable farming, animal anatomy and, of course, butchery. Came home with a self-butchered pork shoulder, which was just delicious after a 5-hour roast.'

Feather and Bone reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class or offer a refund in the event that postponement is not suitable. If this happens, we’ll notify you as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before the scheduled class date.
