Community first

The Great British Meat Run

Band together at your local pub, community centre, or café. Get your butcher or farm shop to agree a tray deal once the list is full — start with ten, push for twenty, go for thirty. Fresher, local meat — better prices — money kept in the town.

For locals

Better meat, better price

Fresh, local cuts without supermarket markups or long-haul supply chains. You know who raised it and how.

For pubs & cafés

Guaranteed footfall

Ten committed buyers means ten people through the door on pickup day. Drinks and food follow. Community buzz grows.

For butchers & farms

Clear stock, keep cash local

Move fresh stock quickly, set fair bundle prices, and build loyal, nearby customers instead of chasing supermarket buyers.

Print the poster, pin it up, fill in this week's deal, and get your first ten names — or keep going for twenty and thirty. Everybody wins.

Why this matters

Better meat without supermarket games

The problem

Supermarket meat travelled too far, tastes like nothing, and keeps getting pricier.

The gap

Farm shop and butcher quality is better, but the single-buyer price can sting.

The move

Band together for 10, 20, 30 trays. Unlock the local price, keep money with your traders and farmers.

Do it

Print the poster, fill this week's deal, and sign the names. Everyone wins — no waiting on government fixes.

Simple playbook

Run a Meat Run in 4 steps

No apps, no hassle. A poster, a promise, and your local network.

Print the poster

Download the A3/A4 PDF and put it up in your pub, café, community board, or workplace.

Agree the deal

Ask your local butcher or farm shop for a tray price if 10 people commit — and a sweeter one if 20 or 30 do. Write it on the poster.

Fill the list

Pubs and regulars rally round. Ten names locks it in. Twenty or thirty can unlock bigger packs or sharper prices.

Pickup day

Everyone collects from the pub or shop on the agreed day. The venue sees traffic, the shop clears stock, locals save.

Pubs & landlords

Guarantee a Friday crowd picking up their packs. Pint sales pay for the ink.

Butchers & farm shops

Fill a tray deal, clear stock before the weekend, and win repeat locals.

Residents & organisers

Be the one who rallies the street or the club. Ten signatures starts it; twenty or thirty turn it into a village habit.
