The AHDB is hosting an on-farm event Great British Beef Re-imagined, demonstrating the ‘farm to fork’ journey at Deersbrook Farm in Essex.

Overview

Mark your calendars! This year’s Great British Beef Week (GBBW) launches on St George's Day - Tuesday, 23 April 2024. 

Now in its 14th year, the seven-day campaign will celebrate the iconic flavours and versatility of British beef and the sustainable practices of beef farmers.

What is this GBBW? 

GBBW, founded by Ladies in Beef (LiB), is a campaign uniting all sectors of the beef industry – farmers, retailers, butchers, farm shops, pubs, and restaurants – to celebrate the naturally delicious taste of British beef. It is an opportunity to showcase creativity and delight customers with unique beef dishes. 


Why should I take part?

This inspirational day will include butchery and cookery demonstrations, highlight current trends, and share menu development ideas. Guests will be taken on a farm walk that will highlight some of the environmentally friendly practices of British beef farmers.


How will it help me?

During the event you will...
be encouraged to get involved by re-imagining British beef and creating your own unique menus for the week of the celebration. You can also share your recipes on your social channels using #GBBW24 and #NaturallyDeliciousBeef.

About Ladies in Beef

Ladies in Beef supports the Red Tractor mark, promoting farm assured quality meat. All beef carrying the Red Tractor logo can be traced back to the farms the livestock came from, and you can be assured that the farmers and suppliers meet comprehensive standards covering hygiene, safety and animal welfare at every stage, from farm to fork. Compliance with these strict standards is regularly checked by independent auditors.

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Who can use the training with TUCO Academy?

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.

    Yes – the person making the booking doesn’t have to attend.
