Beef & Lamb Roasts
Our unique speciality….
‘The Baron of Beef’
The Baron of Beef is alleged to have originated when Henry VIII was served a spit roasted double sirloin of beef roast and was so taken by the roast that he dubbed it ‘Sir Loin, the Baron of Beef’. Whether this is true or not, this term in Britain has come to refer to a major mass of beef.
We are pioneers in roasting huge joints of beef. We call them our ‘Baron of Beef’ roasts and can be anything from a 10lb sirloin to a 200lb hind quarter – a real Henry Vlll feast!”
The beef roast rare/native breeds that we supply produce the most fantastic flavoured beef. This is due to traditional farming methods, compassionate animal husbandry and the ageing process. They are all rare or traditional breeds, with the majority being Longhorn, Shorthorn, Belted Galloway, Dexter, Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Red Poll.
These breeds take longer to mature, and require extensive farming. However, the marbling this produces in the meat and the flavours on the palate are well worth the effort! They have a grass-based diet, which is what cattle have traditionally consumed for centuries. The beef is dry aged in a purpose built ageing room with Himalayan rock salt, giving excellent texture and depth of flavour.
We are very experienced hog, lamb and beef roasting specialists with a catering and restaurant background staffed by chefs and catering professionals. With over 1800 meat roasts under our belt, we certainly know our business.
