Description
We source most of our Beef from a Lincoln Red farmer from near Louth. Lincoln Red is one of the oldest rare breeds in the UK and has a flavour which is famed for being one of the best, if not the best, of all the breeds. The rest of our Beef is selected native breeds from either the West Country or Norfolk and are selected for their size, good covering of fat and grading. We hang all our hindquarter and fore-rib meat on the bone for at least three weeks, to add to the tenderness and flavour these British breeds already have. The result is a meat that will melt in your mouth with a kind of flavour you just don’t get from wet aged beef. Each cut is prepared by our specialist butchers, ensuring care and quality in every cut.
Despite a reputation as a middle of the road joint, Topside has a depth of flavour which makes it by far the most popular of our beef joints. Topside is also one of the leanest cuts and therefore very popular among those on diets. These small Joints make a great Family treat, serving up to four people.
