Claire Holland, BPEX product marketing manager, said: “We were delighted to see such a great turnout from butchers in the region - 341 entries from 51 butchers is a great result for the East Midlands roadshow.

“And the standards did not disappoint, which made judging incredibly hard. Over a third of the products entered achieved a gold award – scoring 95-100 points out of 100.

“That’s a real testament to the quality of the products being produced by butchers and farm shops in the East Midlands.”
