Did you know that the mince meat you buy from supermarkets and the burgers, bolognese or any mince beef based dish you eat in most commercial  settings – fast food, pubs etc – could easily be made from the meat of up to 400 different cows. 400!! So if you’ve ever wondered why companies recommend that such meat is not served pink, now you know.

We make our burgers from a single cut of beef from one cow, as a consequence our burgers can be served pink and are therefore packed full of flavour and you know they are free of any nasty additives and preservatives.

The scandal of the British fishing industry!

Please think about this for a minute. We were talking to a fisherman last week about the decline of the British fishing industry and we learnt a startling fact. This man (we’re not going to name him) is a third generation fisherman in East Anglia. He spends the winter long lining for herring -  a hard and dangerous job, but what happens when back at the quay. At the morning auction he receives on average 38 pence per KILO for his herring. 38 Pence from the fish wholesalers on the dockside.

Within a matter of hours (minutes in some cases) those same fish are on sale at the market for £5.80 per kilo. £5.80!!! That’s 1526% mark up for doing little more than driving the fish to the customer market.

We also heard of the furry of many wholesalers when the quay price is pushed up.

So the next time you hear or read about Britain’s fishermen having a hard time, think on, would you do such a hard and dangerous job for pennys? Because that’s what they get.

Maybe worth thinking about when you’re tucking into your kippers.

How to cook the perfect steak.

Everyone has a view on this subject.
Well here’s ours.

1. Only choose well hung steak, don’t touch that bright red stuff the supermarkets will have you believe is prime steak – it’s not. Beef needs to hang on the bone to ensure you get that succulent flavour. See our meat boxes for some of the best examples.

2. Season your steaks on both sides with plenty of salt and black pepper.

3. Heat your frying pan over a medium high heat (don’t even think about using one those silly lean, mean machines, we’re after taste here).

4. Crush a clove of garlic and throw this in the pan along with a good knob of butter and a small splash of olive oil – the oil is only there to lower the flash point of your butter.

5. In go your steaks, and you should get a nice sizzle straight away, if not your pan is not hot enough.

6. Follow these loose timings – 4 minutes each side for rare or 5 minutes each side medium naturally this assumes a certain thickness of meat. Judge it best by touching the meat with a pair of tongs to ensure you keep that softness in the meat while it’s cooking and you won’t go far wrong.

7. Out comes your steaks and they should be oozing jucies and tasting great, don’t be afraid to pour over some of the remaining juice in the pan – mmmmmmmmmm

Let us know how you get on and remember you can order some great steaks by visiting our meat boxes section on this site.

Funny Chateaubriand Story

Can’t resist telling this. Approching Christmas about 1992 I was taken to Ketners in Mayfair for lunch. It was my first time there and my client suggested we have the Chateaubriand. It was fabulous and I’ve been a massive fan of both Ketners and Chateaubriand ever since. On my return to the office a colleague (who shall remain nameless) was in a flap because he needed to arrange a Christmas lunch for 10 clients – he came over and asked my advice – without hesitation I said “go to Ketners, it’s great, oh and have the chateaubriand”. My colleague went away very pleased his actual words were “thats exeactly the kind of recommendation I need”.  Some days later my colleague took his clients to Ketners but at about 5pm his assistant returned to the office laughing uncontrolabily (as, it turned out, she had been doing for the subsequent 4 hours). My colleague had impressed his clients with his choice of venue for sure, but when presented with the wine list he promptly closed it shut stating ”oh we don’t need that, we’ll just have two bottles of the Chateaubriand” – Priceless!
