Stephen Hill
Introducing our Master Butcher, Stephen Hill, who discovered his interest in butchery at just 14 years old. His passion for traditional nose-to-tail butchery grew steadily over the years. He studied at Birmingham College of Food, where he deepened his knowledge in artisan curing and smoking techniques.
He has won dozens of regional and national awards for both his meat produce and baked goods. He is also a well-respected judge of livestock at the Staffordshire County Show and the English Winter Fair.
Under Stephen’s leadership, Perrys of Eccleshall was named the Countryside Alliance National Champion Butcher for 2017–2018.
Stephen’s “hearts and minds” approach to teaching is simple. He believes in creating a sustainable supply of high-quality meat with superior flavour and tenderness. All Perrys of Eccleshall beef, lamb, pork, and game birds travel fewer than five food miles.
Stephen’s butchery and knife skills courses are suitable for all levels. He teaches everything from basic butchery to advanced techniques. His courses will change the way you shop, prepare, and cook meat.
