Butcher Royalty...

The 2022 team proved their level of talent in their final display - an ode to their monarch Queen Elizabeth II and a highlight on the arena floor. The Brits also produced the World’s Best Pork Product in the form of their Pork Pineapple Corset, brainchild of team member Ben Tindale. What really sets this team apart however, is the mentorship and support network which has been set in motion by its members and only continues to grow - which is what this World Butchers’ Challenge global community is all about. The team competing in 2025 has a few familiar faces and lots of new talent, we can’t wait to see what they bring to the table in Paris!
