Craft beef, chicken, pork, and lamb available in Coleraine

It’s not just about selling meat; it’s about the craft. For years, we’ve honed our skills right here, serving Coleraine and the wider community with the best quality produce. You’ll find our shelves stocked with what I believe is simply the finest locally sourced beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. We’re passionate about full-animal and traceability, meaning you know exactly where your food comes from. We champion the small-batch farmers who share our ethos. It’s a difference you can taste, and frankly, it’s the only way to do it.

Our approach to sourcing quality meats

We deal directly with farmers we know, often within a few miles of the shop. This isn’t some abstract concept; it’s about knowing the person who raises the animal, understanding their practices. For our beef, we focus on grass-fed herds; for pork, heritage breeds that roam and forage. This matters.

It influences flavour, texture, and the eating experience. You won’t find industrial feedlot products here. We had one client whose phone rang three times in the first week after trying our aged ribeye – a to the quality.

We think a lot of places overemphasise cuts that are easy to move. For us, it’s about using the whole animal. This supports our farmers better and is frankly, more responsible. You’ll see things like offal, oxtail, and lesser-known but delicious cuts featured regularly. It’s the kind of butchery that respects the animal and the land.

Comparing our craft sausages

Sausages. Everyone has an opinion. Ours are based on what we’ve learned working with hundreds of customers over the years. We don’t cut corners. We use the cuts that give the best flavour and texture, mixed with spices that complement, not overpower.

Our Sausage	Common Supermarket Sausage	Hypothetical ‘Gourmet’ Sausage
75-85% prime pork shoulder and belly	Variable, often high rusk content	Maybe 60% meat, 40% filler/fat
Natural casings; good ‘snap’	Plastic casings; often mushy	Could be natural or plastic
Whole herbs and spices, hand-mixed	Pre-mixed spice blends, often artificial flavourings	Variable, but often mass-produced blends
Traceable local pork	Unknown origin, industrial farms	Might be better, but often not specified
Our signature blend of black pepper, nutmeg, and sage	Generic peppery taste	Could be anything from chilli to exotic spices

It’s the little things that make the difference.

The difference isn’t subtle. It’s noticeable in the cooking and on the plate. You get a richer flavour and a better texture. We’ve seen people in areas like Gunn come back specifically for our Cumberland. And it’s not just sausages; this philosophy applies to everything we offer, from the beef we aged ourselves to the chicken from a farm near Bovey.

Common questions about craft beef chicken pork lamb sausage in Coleraine

Do you offer custom cuts?

Absolutely. If you have a specific cut in mind that isn’t listed, just ask. We’re happy to tailor cuts to your needs. Our experience means we can usually accommodate most requests.

How is the meat kept fresh during shipping?

We use insulated boxes with professional-grade ice packs. The parcels are sent via express refrigerated courier to maintain the cold chain from our shop to your door.

What makes your beef ‘craft beef’?

It’s about the sourcing and the aging process. We select grass-fed, heritage breeds and dry-age the beef for at least 21 days to develop maximum flavour and tenderness. That’s the craft element.

Can I order specific breeds of pork?

We focus on heritage breeds known for their flavour and marbling, but specific breed requests aren’t typically something we stock directly. However, if you have particular needs, please get in touch.

Do you sell game meats?

Seasonally, yes. We work with local estates when game is available, offering venison, pheasant, and other game birds when in season. It’s a limited run, so best to enquire.

What’s the best way to store my meat?

Keep fresh meat refrigerated below 5°C and use within 1-2 days, or freeze immediately for longer storage. Cured meats have a longer shelf life.
