Grass-Fed Beef
Our grass-fed British White beef is sourced from local farms, hung for 4-5 weeks to develop deep flavour. Available as traditional cuts like sirloin steaks and topside roasts, or custom-prepared to your specifications. The slow maturation process ensures tender, intensely flavoured meat perfect for roasting or slow cooking.
Game Meat
Seasonal game including pheasant, partridge, and wild boar sourced from local estates. Available hung and dressed, with specialist cuts like breast fillets. Our wild boar sausages combine lean meat with apple for a distinctive taste. Hare is available during season, while rabbit can be jointed to order.
