Butchery

Our butcher’s shop

All beef, lamb and pork products sold in our butcher’s shop are from our farm, and the meat is prepared for sale here. We specialise in home-reared native breeds and focus on sustainable farming methods and the highest standards of animal welfare.

 

From us, you can buy quality free-range meat – from our farm to our butcher and directly to your home. We have several types of fresh meat for sale, including grass-fed lamb and dry-aged beef from our farm, free-range bacon dry cured on our premises, as well as homemade sausage rolls and burgers. Explore our butcher section below or come and visit us: we’re always happy to give advice on the best cut for a particular recipe or share some cooking tips.

Beef - the cuts

Some of our favourite cuts:

Shoulder (or chuck) – delicious in stews or casseroles (lobby); we also use this cut for mince

Brisket –extremely tasty when braised, or roasted very slowly

Shank – makes a fabulous chilli

Lamb - the cuts

Some of our favourite cuts:

Shoulder – fantastic when slow-roasted

Rib – rib chops are lovely fried or barbecued, just a few minutes on each side

Leg – great roasted whole, this cut is full of flavour and very lean

We also love mutton and hogget. Hogget is a juvenile sheep aged one to two years, while mutton is over two years of age. When slow-cooked, this meat is incredibly flavoursome and tender, melting in your mouth. Why not try out this mutton curry recipe and see for yourself?

Pork - the cuts

Some of our favourite cuts:

Tenderloin (or back fat) – very lean and best when quickly pan-fried or roasted

Pork chops (loin) – tender and lean, excellent in stir-fries

Ham hock – there are various ways of cooking this cheap cut of meat, we love it best when slow-roasted
