Great British Beef Week

The nationwide campaign Great British Beef Week (GBBW) will be back next year 23 – 30 April 2027. Created by farmer group Ladies in Beef and supported by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, GBBW champions the local supply chain behind British beef – from the farmers who produce it, to the butchers, farm shops, retailers, pubs and restaurants who supply it.

Working together to showcase British beef

In 20206 Simply Beef & Lamb partnered with The Farmer’s Dog Pub to showcase its naturally delicious British beef, sourced from local farmers, including TV celebrity Kaleb Cooper.

The campaign was brought to life through social media content featuring TV personalities, farmer Kaleb, and consultant Charlie Ireland, as well as the pub venue’s Operations Manager, Annie Gray, Head Chef, Max D’Amario, Head Chef at The Farmer’s Puppy, Jason Hall, and Head Butcher at Hops & Chops butcher shop, Charlotte Kingham, highlighting their dedication to locally sourced beef.

“Great British Beef Week is a fantastic opportunity to showcase British farmers and the local supply chains that bring their produce to our counters.” Charlotte Kingham, Head Butcher

Your local supply chain

This year, GBBW will shine a light on the vital role of farm shops and local butchers in bringing naturally delicious British beef to tables across the UK.

Jilly Greed, Devon beef farmer and co-founder of the Ladies in Beef group adds:

“It’s all about championing our trusted local supply chains, the family farms, farm shops and butchers that work together to deliver top-quality British beef to communities.”
