Yorkshire based and proud of it, we’re a family run, whole-carcass butcher, working in partnership with the finest small-scale, sustainable farms on The Dales. Specialising in heritage breeds of cattle, sheep and pigs, wild venison, and native game birds, our meat is slow-grown and free roaming, just as nature intended.

The Swaledale philosophy of whole-carcass butchery, and nose-to-tail eating sets us apart; our meat is nutrient-dense, grass-fed and dry-aged, with immense flavour and a heritage worth protecting. Always Fresh Never Frozen®, our meat is expertly butchered to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.

Good meat is a joy. When I first tried a lesser-known breed of pork reared on a small farm it was a moment of revelation. Whether it be beef, pork or lamb, the breed of animal defines its flavour, texture and character. When married with a good butcher who understands the responsibility of taking these prime animals and continuing the love.
