So much for the BBQ summer, but not for our BBQ Boxes which seem very popular as they provide some great cuts for all members of the family throughout the year. Our spring born lambs are now ready and because of the really grassy summer have grown well and are full of flavour. Our beef has also benefited from the lush summer and sirloin steaks are just the ticket for a treat for dinner. Free range chicken and duckling continue to win praise and are in plentiful supply as is our outdoor reared pork. By the way NIGEL SLATER gives some lovely recipes for pork in his series on BBC 1 at 7.30 on wednesdays. We have lots of BEEF and PORK and our CHICKEN and DUCK are plentiful too.
Much has been said about free range poultry and we are pleased to say ours has been praised by top chefs. But don't take our word for it as the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Excellent cooks need excellent products so do visit our FARM SHOP and enjoy what many consider to be some of the country's finest meat and poultry.
