PROVENANCE
Animal welfare and sustainable farming matter to us. Our meat comes predominantly from UK farms run by families we have known and worked with for many years, and they care as much as we do about quality.
Here are the people behind what’s on our counter. Ask us about any of them next time you’re in.
BEEF & LAMB
Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex
Founded in 1966 by master butcher Richard Fowler, Fowler Brothers is a family business that still runs its own abattoir and butcher’s shop in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. Small-scale, hands-on and proud of the quality of every carcass they supply.

PORK & LAMB
South Downs, West Sussex
Free-range English pork and lamb from the South Downs. Since 1987, founder Hugh Norris has reared his pigs outdoors all year round in open fields, with mud wallows to keep cool in summer and deep straw shelters in winter. The result is pork with real depth of flavour.
