At Edge & Son, we are passionate about quality, sustainability, and traditional butchery skills. Our Masterclasses offer unique, hands-on experiences that take you through the full journey of meat production and preparation.
Traditional skills. Exceptional produce. A day you won’t forget.
Join us in our New Ferry shop for a rare chance to step fully into the world of traditional butchery. These masterclasses are immersive, hands-on and unapologetically real. You won’t be watching from the sidelines. You’ll be sharpening knives, handling whole animals and learning skills that very few people ever get the opportunity to learn. Expect generous hospitality, honest conversation, and a deep respect for the animals and farmers behind the food.
Food included, and you’ll leave with meat you’ve prepared yourself and knowledge that will stay with you for life.

Spend the day behind the counter at Edge & Son, learning traditional butchery across poultry, lamb and pork, with demonstrations of beef breakdown and curing methods.
This is a hands-on, small-group day designed for serious home cooks and anyone who wants to understand meat properly.
Spend the day learning how to break down a whole side of lamb properly, working step by step through carcass preparation, boning and finishing cuts with guidance throughout.
This is a practical, small-group masterclass built around how you cook and how you want your lamb prepared.
The ultimate nose-to-tail butchery experience.
This is a truly special day and one we offer to very small groups only. You’ll spend a full day working on a whole side of beef, learning how every cut is formed, how to maximise quality and value, and how to prepare beef exactly to your own preferences.
From steak thickness to joint size, this is your beef, your way.
