When it comes to buying meat for our shop, we leave nothing to chance
Good quality meat starts with a healthy animal reared in good circumstances on the farm.
Jerry visits the farms and chooses the animals for the shop.
He then brings them to be slaughtered ensuring humane handling of the animals at all stages.
You can be confident that the meat you buy from us, is prime meat reared and processed in the best circumstances.
