Easter Sunday is a time for family, friends, and delicious food. Whether you’re hosting a large gathering or having an intimate dinner for two, choosing the perfect cut of meat can make all the difference. We’ve been supplying our clients with some of the UK’s best and most trusted butchers equipment for more than 30 years, so we’ve spent a lot of time learning about the subtle art of meat preparation, and the way it’s used to celebrate days like Easter.

So, here are some of the best cuts that you can supply to your customers this Easter to ensure they have the perfect Easter Sunday dinner.

Leg of lamb

Leg of lamb is a traditional Easter favourite and is a great centrepiece for any holiday meal. It’s a tender and flavourful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways, from roasting to grilling. The leg of lamb can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, carrots, or asparagus. For a traditional roast lamb - massage the leg with some olive oil, and garnish with fresh rosemary and a few cloves of garlic. It’s also great to give your customers this advice, as it means their lamb will be full of flavour.

Ham joint

Ham is another traditional Easter dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. A spiral-cut ham is easy to prepare and can be served hot or cold. It can be glazed with honey, mustard, or maple syrup to add some extra sweetness to the dish. Ham is also a great meat to consume as a leftover and can be enjoyed as a cold meat option on a sandwich. So, if your customers are looking for the ideal Easter Sunday cut to enjoy throughout the week, then point them towards your delicious selection of ham!

Beef tenderloin

Beef tenderloin is a luxurious cut of meat that is perfect for a special occasion like Easter Sunday. It’s a lean and tender cut that can be grilled or roasted to perfection, and what’s more the beef tenderloin pairs exceptionally well with roasted vegetables, mash and a good old Yorkshire pudding. Your average tenderloin will comfortably serve around four people, so if you have a customer looking for the perfect Easter alternative to the traditional leg of lamb, beef is always a safe bet.

Pork loin

Crackling. Need we say more? Pork loin is a flavourful and juicy cut of meat that’s perfect for Easter dinner. Delicious when roasted or grilled, a pork loin is a great option when served with a variety of sides like roasted root vegetables, sprouts, and apple sauce. If your customers ask how best to prepare their pork, recommend them to stuff it with herbs, cheese, or bacon to add some extra flavour. And of course, you can’t forget the sage and onion stuffing on the side!

In our opinion, these are some of the best alternative cuts of meat that you can offer your customers for the ideal Easter Sunday dinner. Whether they prefer the more traditional lamb, the succulent ham, the bold flavour of beef, or juicy pork, you’ll need to ensure that each option is cut and prepared to the highest standard, using the very best equipment. That’s where we come in.
