The heat continues to beat down at Spratsbourne, with these long, dry sunny days scorching the fields. On the drive down to Block you’ll see our Sussex cattle taking summer in their stride.

Sussex cattle are a hardy native breed, well suited to life outdoors through the changing seasons. On the hottest days they naturally slow down, seeking shade and grazing more in the cooler mornings and evenings, we’re keeping plenty of fresh water available across the farm. Believe it or not, an adult cow can drink at around 14 litres a minute when at the trough.

That slower pace is part of life on the estate right now. If you’re visiting the counter, why not take a gentle stroll through the beautiful shaded woodland to escape the sun.

Summer is in full swing at the estate, the fields have been cut, and you’ll see the hay bales are being brought into the sheds for the season ahead.

This is where everything starts for us. Our beef comes from pedigree Sussex cattle reared here on our fields, with whole animals prepared by our expert butchers. Our beef is then dry-aged to develop real depth, tenderness and flavour.

New Product Spotlight – We have two new specials at Block, ready for the grill. Our new burgers and sausages start with our Sussex cattle, reared here at Spratsbourne. Slow grown, well looked after, and butchered whole on site, giving us full control over what ends up on the counter.

Beef & Jalapeño Burgers

A blend of our Sussex beef with fresh jalapeño, smoked paprika, onion and garlic. Perfect on the grill, but just as good in a pan if you’re keeping it simple.

Beef Hot Links

80% beef from our Sussex cattle, 20% naturally smoked bacon for added fat and depth, with scotch bonnet and cayenne bringing a more direct heat.

Both available at the counter as we reopen for the week tomorrow.

We hope you’ve had a great Easter.

We’re back at the counter Tuesday to Saturday, 8 AM – 5 PM.

In the sheds, lambing is well underway, with Andrew and Clem working around the clock to bring new life safely into the world.

As you make your way down the drive, you’ll see them starting to move out into the fields. Newborn lambs staying close to their mothers and the flock, testing their legs and beginning to explore their surroundings. One of the true markers of spring in full swing, and something we look forward to sharing with you.
