On Christmas Eve, Monday 24th December, Aberdeen butcher Andrew Gordon will host Aberdeen’s first ever luxury meat auction. It’s in aid of VSA, which is the UK’s largest city social care charity, supporting more than 2,500 people in Aberdeen each year.
The event, at Andrew Gordon Butchery and Fine Foods on Chattan Place will see all remaining festive stock in the counters up for grabs. VSA will benefit from 20 percent of each final auction price.
Andrew said:
“Anyone who wants to stock up their freezer, create a last minute Christmas banquet or make up a last minute gift should come down to see what’s on offer. We’ve got free range turkey, Aberdeen Angus beef roasts and lots of other surprises.
“My auction is all about festive cheer, Christmas, goodwill and giving back to a very worthy cause. I want to celebrate a fantastic year of food and drink innovation in Aberdeen by giving something back to the community. VSA is a hardworking charity that transforms lives of young and old people, as well as supporting people with learning difficulties, mental health issues or people who are carers.
“I always try and keep some Christmas stock in reserve and this gives us the chance to completely clear our shelves as we make room for more fresh meat deliveries in the New Year. Hopefully I can save a roast for myself and my family but also present a welcome donation to VSA.”
The Christmas luxury meat charity auction will take place on 24th December between 5 and 5.30 p.m. at Andrew Gordon Butchery and Fine Foods, 35-37 Chattan Place, Aberdeen, AB10 6RB.
