Services
Beef
Our beef comes from British and Irish grass-fed cattle reared on lush pastures. We age all our beef for at least 21 days to develop tender, flavourful cuts. The hanging process allows natural enzymes to break down connective tissues while concentrating the meat's rich, beefy taste. Customers can choose from traditional cuts like ribeye and sirloin or request modern preparations including dry-aged steaks.
Chicken
We source free-range chickens raised to traditional farming standards with high welfare practices. Our birds grow at natural rates, developing succulent white and dark meat with deep flavour. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our chickens are allowed to mature fully, ensuring the texture and taste reminiscent of traditional poultry farming methods.
Pork
Our pork selection comes from ethically-reared hogs given proper maturation time before processing. This careful approach develops the meat's signature creaminess while maintaining its nutritional value. We offer both traditional cuts like belly and shoulder alongside modern preparations, with particular expertise in producing specialty sausages that showcase pork's natural qualities.
Lamb
Sourced from flocks grazing Northern Ireland's diverse landscapes, our lamb features distinctive flavour profiles influenced by wild grasses and heather. Each carcass is prepared using traditional butchery techniques on wooden blocks, preserving the meat's natural succulence. The result is tender cuts that highlight regional breeds renowned for exceptional quality.
Family Meat Packs
Our ready-to-cook meat packs cater to family meal planning needs. Each pack contains carefully selected cuts with cooking instructions and pairing suggestions. Options include balanced combinations of traditional and modern preparations, with choices for different dietary requirements including gluten-free options and portion-controlled cuts.

Took my order and payment and cancelled at 10pm, received a generic cancellation email, order taken and confirmed at 1pm, therefore I did not have the opportunity to place an order with another provider. If this order could not be completedit should not have been taken and I could have had the opportunity to use some other butchers. Don't advertise if you can't deliver
