traditional butchery
The core focus on our traditional butchery counter is quality. We look to source our meat from local farms, whose standards of welfare and attention to detail match our own exacting standards.
We take an active interest in the farming techniques being used, as well as ensuring welfare standards are kept high for all stages of the animals life – from grazing on the lush pastures of grass to the Dry Aged conditioning methods we employ to care for the meat once slaughtered.
Our Beef
We source our grass-fed beef in partnership with Arun Meats, a long-established, highly respected wholesale butcher known for its uncompromising standards and exceptional quality. Our beef is locally sourced, largely from Parsonage Farm in the New Forest, Hampshire, as well as select farms in Berkshire, and our incredible Wagyu comes from Kingsplay Farm in Wiltshire.
Whatever cut you choose, you can have complete confidence in its origin - our team knows exactly where it comes from, because we’re fully committed to responsible sourcing and building strong, long-term relationships with the farms we work with.
We dry-age our beef for up to 35 days.
We firmly believe that one of the most important ways to enhance the quality and flavour of beef is to properly condition and “age” it. Our dry-aging rooms are purpose-built to create the ideal environment for maturation.
Our Free-Range Pork
We source the majority of our pork from Plantation Pigs, based in Sussex on the South Downs. Farmer Paddy runs a truly free-range system, where the pigs roam outdoors and live as pigs should - rooting, exploring, and behaving naturally.
Plantation Pigs breed classic Hampshire/Duroc crosses, prized for their exceptional eating quality. These traditional, slow-growing pigs produce pork that’s beautifully succulent, tender, and full of flavour.
Although free-range pork costs us more, we believe it’s worth it - for both the welfare standards behind it and the outstanding quality on the plate. It also means our handmade sausages are made using largely free-range pork*, too.
our Bacon
Our bacon is cured for us by Wiltshire Bacon in Trowbridge. A fantastic, local, multi-award-winning producer. Their outdoor-reared, 100% British bacon is celebrated for its rich flavour, balanced cure, and exceptional quality. It makes a banging bacon butty!
*Please note: While our sausages are made using largely free-range pork, they are not a completely free-range pork item.
Our Lamb
Our lamb is sourced in partnership with Arun Meats, a long-established and highly respected wholesale butcher known for its uncompromising standards and exceptional quality. Our grass-fed lamb comes from farms across Hampshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire, where the animals graze on downland pasture and roam freely - allowing natural flavours to develop slowly and beautifully.
To enhance tenderness and depth of flavour, our lamb is hung for up to 14 days before being prepared by our butchers.
seasonal lamb available to order
When in season, we also offer Hogget (a 2-year-old lamb) and Mutton (2 years or older, with a richer, stronger flavour), both available to order at our counters.
Our friendly team of butchers are always on hand to help, whether you’d like advice on the best cuts for your recipes, cooking tips, or what seasonal meats are available to order.
Our Poultry
We source our free-range chickens from Creedy Carver in Devon. This family-run farm rears their birds to the highest welfare standards, with flocks enjoying access to large grassy pastures planted with trees for natural shade and shelter. This encourages the birds to roam freely, forage naturally, and live a healthy, happy life.
Alongside our free-range chicken, we also stock a selection of farmed English chicken breasts and whole chickens. These birds are reared to high Freedom Foods welfare standards and, while they are not free-range (something we’re always completely transparent about), we have full confidence in the care and quality behind them. For some families, free-range chicken isn’t always the most affordable option, and these birds offer a brilliant alternative without compromising on quality or responsible farming practices.
Game and Other Meats
When in season, we source most of our game directly from Hazelwood Game in Romsey, Hampshire, including pheasant, partridge and pigeon. Venison is also often available throughout the game season, alongside other seasonal favourites such as grouse.
If you’re looking for something specific, just ask one of the team, we’ll always do our best to source it for you.
