Supplier / Weobley Ash
Aiden from Weobley Ash Meats giving Dorian + Mike the tour.
At the start of February 2022, we took a drive out into the Herefordshire countryside to visit our farmer and butcher at Weobley Ash Meats.
They farm at Nash & Presteigne, on an all-grass system. Their sheep are made up of Herdwick, Dartmoor & Ryeland sheep, giving just the right amount of fat cover to allow them to hang Mutton for up to 10 weeks.
They also breed the very rare Welsh pig, a lop-eared large pink pig that has excellent maternal traits and large litters. They also breed the Oxford Sandy & Black, the very recognisable ginger/red hair with black spots. Both pigs produce succulent tasty pork with fabulous crackling.
Their fantastic beef is from grass-fed Hereford cattle, in our opinion the best cattle for slow finished great tasting beef. From time to time they also have Longhorn, Angus and Welsh Black.
We had a lovely time being shown the process of mincing and making up the patties for our Burger Shop restaurants, as well as seeing and selecting steak cuts and sausage making for the menu at The Bookshop.
You can buy produce directly from Weobley Ash from their farm shop and you can sample the cooked and finished product in our restaurants!
