🦌the first deer of the season is in the shop and ready to go 🦌

Fresh venison is now available again! Which means we've kicked off the season with a batch of our famous venison and chorizo sausages!
These go insanely well on a BBQ or smoker, or just to spice up your usual sausage meals!

Never tried venison? Give these ago and you'll never go back!

Stuck for ideas for dinner this weekend?

Boneless, minted shoulders of lamb. Pop them in the oven on a slightly lower heat with some tin foil over the top and job done! Serve with anything from a fresh, new potato salad to roasted vegetables!

Hot weather update! .. It's hot! Very hot! 🔥

As a result we will not have our front window display filled up, rest assured we've still got everything it's just being kept nice and cold in the fridges. This does mean we may be working a little slower as we go back n forth to get items so please bare with us.

If you walk into the shop and dont see any of us pottering around don't be afraid to shout... We're probably sitting round the corner in front of a fan whilst enjoying our 57th Cornetto... 🍦🍨

Some beautiful pork chops going in the window this week!

Pork is often misunderstood when planning the week's dinners, everyone's had that experience of a dry as old boots pork chop that's enough to put you off then for life. The reason? Your pork chops don't look like this. Fry these off in a pan just like you would a steak and job done!

In the window for this weekend!
Fresh, pasture fed organic mutton. This really is as good as it gets!
Absolutely packed with flavour from a long life grazing open fields no less than 4 miles from the doors of our shop!
For those that are unsure on the difference, mutton is older than lamb. Atleast 2 years old. This girl in particular was 4, meaning that it has had plenty of time to develop that rich flavour that comes with mutton!

Mutton is often kept by the farmers so it doesn't often make its way into sale! If you're a fan of mutton then be sure to stock up the freezer because we're not sure when/if we'll be able to get some more!
