If you love cooking, you’ll know how important it is to talk to your butcher when buying the perfect cut of meat. A real butcher knows everything there is to know about his meat and can recommend the best cuts for your recipe.

Our vision now is to create a modern brand, in-tune with our customers and their busy lives.

We plan to keep you up-to-date with our latest news, ideas, recipes and anything else for that matter!
