We like to make it easy for you to get good quality English Meat. At times we are approached to see if we sell rarer meats from around the world such as Water Buffalo etc

The video link below is one reason we stick to what we know…..

Beef Chart (Cuts Available to buy)

Rob — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:26:03 +0000

The attached is intended to give customers more information on how to choose their Cut of Beef. The symbols indicate how the particular cuts should be cooked, some can be slow roasted to ensure the moist tender ‘fall off the bone tenderness’. Others can be ‘shown’ to a griddle, chefs pan or hot basted barbeque to ensure a seared medium / rare tender steak etc

(Click through to link if no image is shown)

The images also go some way as to explain where the individual cuts originate from the Animal. All our Beef can be traced back to the original stock and Farm it was sourced from and is hung to a minimum of 21 days to ensure it’s full free range texture and flavour

South Park Gardens Event Great Success

Rob — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:34:06 +0000

Our English Meat catering was a great success at the South Park Gardens music festival. With over 1000 people joining in the festival on a glorious summer day, we were swamped with customers from midday through to closing time at 8.30. For us it was the perfect event – (largely) sober customers, great weather and we sold out of all stock at 8.25pm exactly.

If anyone would like more details from us on our external catering services please call us on 0845 500 5440 or email contact@englishmeat.co.uk.

English Meat Twitters

Rob — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:28:21 +0000

What is the point/purpose of Twitter? We’re still trying to work out the value to us as a business – is it in the way we communicate with drivers who are out on the road? Is it in using the service as a way to communicate with our customers? Is it to announce the release of new organic meat boxes?

There is certainly purpose in the community and news aspect and to this end we have simply integrated all blog postings to appear on Twitter as we release them.

If you go to our Twitter site and become a follower you can be notified of all of our blog postings as they are released. Just go to twitter.com/englishmeat and become a follower. We know we’re not quite at the cutting edge of use of Twitter but you won’t find another butcher who has gone this far.

If you have any questions visit our main website – www.englishmeat.co.uk – or call 0845 500 5440.
