What we do

Whether you want a a joint of beef, pork, lamb, poultry or game, we have you covered. We buy whole carcasses and hang all our meat ourselves which means we can do pretty much any joint or cut you wish.

How to Order

Please note all orders are for collection only. When you place your order you will be given an order reference number. Please keep this very safe as you will need it when you come to collect your order. If you are ordering a turkey, goose, cockerel, rooster, or some of the fantastic French birds you will need to pay a deposit in store.
What you need to know before you order:
- What day you would like to collect (see our Christmas Opening Hours section below)
- What you would like
- How many people you are feeding
- Our Christmas and Easter order terms and conditions - available to view online here

There are TWO ways to place your Christmas order:

1. IN PERSON - at our shop in Heaton (the preferred method, especially if you want a turkey, goose, cockerel, rooster or French bird as you need to pay a deposit)
