A standalone butcher’s block with a European oak base and 10cm-thick worktop of seasoned endgrain maple. Made in Kent as part of an exclusive collaboration with Borough Kitchen and Rencraft.

—DETAILS—

Meet the Borough Kitchen x Rencraft Butcher’s Block, a standalone island featuring a 100m-thick endgrain wooden surface made of light maple (also available in dark walnut). The exposed fibres of endgrain wood make it resistant to knife cuts and any scars level out with time. The size and thickness of the worktop make a stable surface for cutting meat, as well as an excellent surface for kneading dough or general food prep. The European oak base features one drawer in the small (65 x 45cm) and medium (87.5 x 55cm) sized butcher blocks; and two drawers in the large sized (110 x 60cm) butcher’s block. All blocks feature two shelves, extending your kitchen storage, and have locking wheels for easy mobility that does not detract from the blocks’ stability.

Handcrafted in Sevenoaks, free delivery is available within Kent and the M25 area; quotes for other areas will be decided upon request.This item requires an 8-week lead time.

—BENEFITS—

‘You can just tell this piece is handcrafted with care based on how every aspect feels and is so durable, to say nothing of its gorgeous looks. It adds a work surface and extra storage to the kitchen, which makes it easier for more than one person to be in at once, and is gentle on my knives. I especially like the wheels, which let me carve roasts, add final touches to any dish, or even make cocktails tableside when entertaining.’
