With over thirty years of experience Gerard is a third-generation butcher who started out in Hackney as a packing boy in his family shop. There he slowly learnt his butchery craft, cutting and preparing meat for a cosmopolitan and discerning mix of customers, which gave him a valuable understanding of different food cultures and cooking techniques. Focussing on traditional-breed, seasonal and pasture-fed organic and free-range meat, Salter and King aims to provide the link between local farmers and their appreciative customers, bringing expertise and natural, wonderful meat to the town and surrounding villages.
