Read some of our customers' comments Favourite beef recipes ![]() Here are some recipes that we like, that have been recommended or that we just like the look of. Why not give one or two a try? Fancy sharing a favourite? We'd love to include yours here - let us know. Norma Vogt-Carney’s Pot Roast - We are grateful to Vicki Chappell-Apling, now of Cardington for passing on her step mother's recipe for chuck or brisket, which sounds fantastic. Boiled beef and carrots - we know a song about that (well not really, but you know what I mean). Something very traditional to do with salt beef. Spiced beef - another salt beef recipe which must be in the running for the longest cooking award (assuming there is one?) Spiced beef rolls in tomato ragu - apparently a very traditional Sunday lunch in southern Italy; absolutely fantastic! Sylvia's Westmoreland steak - a simple slow cook recipe using stewing steak, with a great-looking cheese crust Margaret's burgers - easy to make and lovely to eat Bresaola - a 'classic Italian salt-cure' that makes something extremely special from a silverside joint. Quite a lengthy process but definitely worth it. Winter warming casserole - recommended by our daughter who copied it from a library book Slow cooked silverside with bacon and Guinness - a simple, hearty pot roast of beef in Guinness that is a great no-fuss dish for larger gatherings of friends and family. |

| Our
System In our extensive system, steers are ready for killing at 24-28 months, compared to more intensive practice where animals can be killed as young as 18 months. Our single suckler herd allows calves to suckle milk to the age of 8-10 months and grow quickly in the most natural way possible. The herd grazes beautiful riverside meadows that are in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme, for most of the year, eating fresh grass and a wide range of herbage in the summer months and our own hay and a little bought-in feed over the winter. All of which adds up to contented cattle. |

Point of sale If you would like to know when our beef will next be available and to be added to our customer list, have a look at the top of this page or contact us. We are currently a very small producer - we killed only four animals in 2010, so don't always have fresh beef available. Our production will expand with the herd over the coming years. Please note that due to high demand locally, we have not needed to deliver meat to customers outside a range of 2 miles. This will change in the future, so please don't be put off contacting us. |
