This is a one day course which will provide the novice or less experienced stalker with a sound foundation of knowledge. Safety and basic hygiene legislation will be dealt with in a classroom situation moving on to the larder carcass preparation area for the practical aspects which will deal with  basic butchery techniques.

Plaudits

“I would like to say a few words about this excellent course. The class size was ideal and the contents great. It was a pleasant surprise to have half a carcass to take home. What was not anticipated was some excellent culinary advice from the trainer. He had plenty of time for us and some of us chatted with him for quite a while when the class had finished and he seemed to be in no rush to end it all. In 2 words the trainer went the ‘extra mile’ with his course and is clearly a great enthusiast for his subject”

“Excellent course. Very knowledgeable trainer who explained things well”
