1. It starts with Butchering & Selection
We source beef from across the UK and Ireland, choosing cuts based on marbling and fat coverage. Marbling is crucial as it is one of the key indicators of the quality of the beef, and good fat coverage protects the meat during the dry ageing process and prevents the meat from drying out.

2. The Dry Ageing
Our specially designed dry ageing rooms keep the beef at 1 – 2 °C with a humidity control of 75 – 80%. We also have ultra-violet lighting that eliminate any unwanted bacteria.
Tender and Tasty. Our Process allows an improvement in tenderness and quality.
The Breakdown. The proteins are made up of complex sugars, the dry ageing breaks down the sugars creating a variety of different nutty and unique flavours.
Bespoke Ageing. Our unique ageing room allows enzymic breakdown of the meat proteins.
