Connect with us @bracebutchers @braceofbutchers @Brace of Butchers DORSET From the outset the plan for Brace of Butchers was to establish a new standard in butchery, based on specific and clear values associated with procuring the best locally sourced meats. Our meat is sourced directly from trusted local farmers to ensure standards, quality and traceability. 8 Brace of Butchers launches FOOD SERVICE FOR CATERERS Our next phase of expansion is offering caterers in retail and food service a delivery service. Launching in March, the Brace Food Service will be available across Dorset and delivered in our new refrigerated van. Chef Mark Vaughan said this is an exciting new offering for chefs who are passionate about local Dorset produce. He adds: “As a chef myself I know how passionate chefs are about using great local meat but many are too time-pressed to source directly from a farmer. “This is where our new service comes in, allowing local chefs to help us champion our already great produce on our doorstep.” If you’d like to find out more email our Food Service Manager Darren Mescus foodservice@ braceofbutchers.co.uk www.braceofbutchers.co.uk SHOP OPENING HOURS Queen Mother Square, Poundbury, Dorset, DT1 3BW Telephone 01305 260956 Mon & Tues 8.30am - 5pm Weds, Thurs, Fri 8.30am - 6pm Saturday 8.30am - 4pm Sunday (and bank holidays) 10am - 1pm This newspaper was proudly produced by our friends at Bright Daisy Publishing Ltd
