Blog posts of '2025' 'April'

It's Great British Beef Week, and here at The Country Victualler. We're all about celebrating the things that matter: local farmers, proper butchery and delicious, naturally raised British beef.

We have been proudly independent for over 40 years, and we're still here - because we care about doing things the right way. That means knowing where our food comes from, keeping traditions alive and supporting the incredible people who raise the animals we're proud to put on your plates.

Why We Love British Beef

British beef really is something special. It's:

Grass-fed and locally sourced

Free from hormones and antibiotics

Raised with care, right here in the UK

And when animals are raised well, the beef isn't just tastier -  it's better for your health too.  Think natural Omega-3s, iron and vitamin-rich protein that fuels your body the way nature intended.

A Proud Heritage

We're not just a butcher - we're a team of passionate food lovers who believe in craft, flavour and supporting small-scale farming. From our kitchen to yours, we're here to share the very best of British food heritage, one small-batch cut at a time.

Taste the Difference

To mark Great British Beef Week, we're showcasing our NEW Steak Connoisseur's Meatbox - a juicy line-up of proper British steaks.

Try it for yourself:
