At the Counter

Made in-house, the old way.

Beyond the case of fresh cuts, the real love shows up in what we make ourselves — savoury pies, fat sausages, BBQ boxes, and eggs straight from the farm.

Homemade savoury pies Steak & kidney and proper Cornish pasties, baked from scratch on a rotating bake. $ ? owner to confirm
House sausages Coarse-ground links made on-site — a handful of recipes, no fillers, no shortcuts. $ ? owner to confirm
BBQ boxes Counter-built grill kits for the weekend — cuts portioned and ready to throw on the coals. $ ? owner to confirm
Farm eggs Fresh eggs from small farms, in the case beside the meat. Ask what came in this week. $ ? owner to confirm
The Sourcing Promise

Short supply lines, honest meat.

Fresh cuts of meat fresh cuts — photo

Small family farms

We buy from small farms we can name — not anonymous industrial lots. Closer to the source means we know how the animal was raised.

No cloned or GMO meat

Nothing cloned, nothing genetically modified — a line we hold at the counter so you don't have to wonder what you're cooking.
