Cheshire Reared 21 Day Matured Beef
– Slow Cooking –
Because it is locally reared we can be certain of its provenance, so important today when food is flown around the world by most of the major supermarkets. You can be sure that the beef you buy has had the shortest possible journey from Ian’s pastures to your plate. Ian rears it, we prepare it, you cook it and your family eats it. They deserve the best.
