Spend at day in Etherington's award-winning school.  Perfect for travelling foodies, chefs and those passionate about the provenance of their produce, Etherington's Butchery Academy offers traditional butchery meets a contemporary Cornish experience.

The hands- on courses are held in Etherington's Butchery Classroom in Wheal Rose, Scorrier, Cornwall. The courses offer students the opportunity to get stuck into butchering meat, learning about different and delicious cuts, quality control and the skills of knife handling. Tutors guide students from nose to tail and start to finish as they tackle pork, beef, lamb or game.

There are five different courses to choose from and students can have a half day, whole day or full fours days of teaching. With foodie fans like Thom Hunt, 7th Rise and Fifteen Cornwall the Butchery Academy makes for an exciting and immersive day full of fascinating tips and expert advice. From making your own sausages to cutting the finest fillet of beef, courses are designed to give you a good knowledge of the carcass and the dexterous skills to tackle it at home.

Situated in a bespoke building, the classroom sits adjacent to Etherington's Farm Shop. The classroom is part of a huge investment created in 2012 to innovatively expand the Brian Etherington Meat Co. family business and to future proof the traditional skills of butchery in Cornwall. With a passion for provenance and supporting Cornish producers the development has inspired the Farm Shop, classroom, conference facilities and eco-development by the sea.

Etherington's Butchery Academy is affiliated with Cornwall College teaching up and coming chefs the traditional profession of butchery, and is popular with foodies, independent farmers and professional chefs. All leave the academy with accomplished artistry and confidence which translates into delicious and innovative meals.
