🥩 SMALL BREED… BIG FLAVOUR! 🥩

On the block at A Willsher & Son this week — Dexter beef! 🐂

Originally from Ireland, Dexter is the smallest native cattle breed in the British Isles. But what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for on the dinner plate! 😋

Prized for its rich, beefy flavour and lovely marbling, it’s a proper treat for anyone who loves a good bit of beef. Their smaller size also means more manageable joints — perfect for a cracking roast without needing to invite the whole street round! 😉

Whether it’s steak night, Sunday lunch or a slow-cooked dinner, pop in and have a chat with us about which cut to try.
