- BEST BRITISH MEATSAll our British Meats are sourced from our local suppliers and local markets
- Beef
Our finest British beef is all sourced from one local supplier, whom we have grown to trust over time, and who supplies us consistently with the best local beef. It is matured for a minimum of three weeks, so that we can guarantee the best flavour and most tender meat. We stock a wide range of beef cuts that we expertly prepare on the premises. We can also provide you with bespoke cuts if you require them.
- Lamb
We take particular care to ensure that our customers receive the best possible quality, which we can guarantee from our local supplier and local markets. We ensure that we are supplying spring lambs as soon as they are available, which is usually at the beginning of March.
- Pork
All our pork is traditionally reared free-range Pakington Pork, supplied to us from Pakington's own farm, based in rural Staffordshire. Our pigs are fed a natural diet and reared outdoors to the highest welfare standards. We feel that buying local meat makes all the difference, and don’t believe there are any better than our local farms.
- Free Range Turkeys and Geese
For the seasonal occasion, we also feel that we have found the best in award winning free range kelly bronze turkeys and geese, produced by G.B.Geese, whose farm is based in the Leicestershire countryside.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
Our classic Chicken Cordon Bleu is the ultimate comfort food. The Gruyère cheese pairs perfectly with the smoky ham flavour and creates a fantastic soft, gooey centre to contrast the wonderfully crisp crumb coating.Serves 4Prep time : 20 minutesCooking time : 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
8 thin slices Gruyère cheese
8 thin slices smoked ham
125g plain flour
salt and pepper
1 large free range egg, beaten
250g breadcrumbs
Method
1. Take each chicken fillet and slice a pocket into the side, being careful not to cut so deep that you slice right through to the other side.
2. Roll two slices of cheese and two slices of ham together and place into the pocket in the chicken. Rolling the cheese inside the ham will prevent it from leaking out during cooking. Secure with a cocktail stick if necessary.
3. Place the flour into a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs, being sure to coat the chicken completely on both sides.
4. Place the chicken fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet and spray with a little cooking oil. Bake in the oven at 200°C/180°C fan/Gas 6 for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Our Top Tip
Try experimenting with different cheeses, like perhaps a melty Mozzarella, or a smoked cheddar to compliment the smoked ham. Or for a twist, try replacing the smoked ham with an unsmoked variety and use a blue cheese, like Gorgonzola, or Roquefort if you like a more pungent flavour.
