We rear our own cattle on our land at Brentor, pictured above, which are available to purchase periodically throughout the year. Contact us for details of breed availability. We are happy to reserve the required cuts for our customers.
Please see our Cattle section for more photographs.

The remainder of our meat is sourced from local farms and we strive to maintain the highest welfare of the animal at all times. If you require anything you can't see advertised, please contact us and we will do our utmost to help you.

To ensure your meat stays in top condition, we recommend keeping it refrigerated and using it within 2 days. Alternatively, simply freeze. Unlike some pre-packaged meat, we don't use any form of preservatives so you receive it as nature intended.

If you have your own livestock, we can arrange to have them slaughtered and butchered to your requirements and can also use them to make your own sausages and burgers. Please contact us for further details.
