Our mission is to supply you with the finest beef available. To do this George uses his wealth of experience in cattle farming to source only the finest animals. These are all produced on local family run farms, slaughtered as close to the farm as possible and then hung on the bone in our own chillers at our butchery, bringing you the very best eating experience possible.
Use the links to navigate to our offerings of joints, steaks, other (mince etc) and offal.
All our prices are guide ONLY, final price dependant on delivery weight. Some items are marked as pre-order, this is because we are either out of stock, the item is made to order or we do not stock it.
If we don't list it it doesn't mean we can not get it! Please ask one of our team who will be able to help.
Red Oak Farm
Grazing the water meadows along the Great
River Ouse, outstanding quality beef.
Born, raised and finished at Red Oak Farm, a state of the art beef farm in the village of Westbury
on the borders of Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are our own herds of
cattle. These consist of pedigree Simmenal and Red Aberdeen Angus along with a commercial
herd made up by mixing both these breeds. These animals are either owned by George or Owen
Farms with George managing everything day to day. Numbers run at around 160 breeding cows
with everything being fully raised and finished on farm; total numbers on farm at any one time are
usually around 400.
The Mellow Moos of Red Oak Farm spend the spring, summer and part of autunm grazing the
water meadows along the Great River Ouse. The winter months are spent housed at Red Oak
Farm. Even through the winter they are fed on crops (grass, maize silage, barley, beans and oats)
grown on the farm with only essential mineral supplements brought in. The majority of the
herds also calve over the housed period, this way they recieve the best possible care whilst looking
after their babies. Red Oak cattle are also members of a health scheme, classed as Elite
status meaning they are free of BVD, Lepto, IBR and Johne's disease. As well as supplying Mellow
Meats, Red Oak farm beef is also sold to some high-end customers including Harrods, Marks &
Spencer andAscot Racecourse for Royal Ascot week to name a few.
Hyde Farm
Very special beef raised on the finest
wildflower meadows in Northamptonshire
The Dunkley family have been rearing and finishing rare and native breed cattle at Hyde Farm,
Roade in Northamptonshire since 2001. In that time the breeding herd has mainly consisted of
Dexters with many other breeds (White Park, Shorthorn, Longhorn, Red Poll, Highland and Irish
Moll) being sourced locally for finishing. During this time the majority of the beef has been sold to
rare breed butchers in London. We are very excited to say that this is now available through
Mellow Meats.
Stuart is now phasing out the various rare and native breeds in favour of a relative newcomer, the
Speckled Park. Originating in Canada, the Speckled Park is a mix of White Park, Beef Shorthorn
and Aberdeen Angus and is therefore a perfect mix of some of our greatest and well loved native
breeds. They are naturally polled, very docile and fatten beautifully off grass and are finished on
40 acres of wildflower meadows which were sown with Rothschild's Aston Wold seeds in 2002.
Since then these meadows have received no fertilisers or sprays. The cattle are finished as close to
30 months of age as possible, having a small amount of barley fed to them as well as the grass to
maximise marbling and flavour, ensuring the best possible eating experience.
Upper Spernal Farm
From the home of Purity Beer, beef raised in the
beautiful countryside in the heart of Warwickshire.
The cattle at Upper Spernal Farm are a mix of Pedigree Longhorn and Longhorn crossed with Red
Aberdeen Angus. The Longhorn breed dates back to the 1700's, being very popular in the Craven district of
Yorkshire. In 1760 a farmer in Leicestershire took on improving the breed, by 1810 the majority of beef
cattle in the Midlands were of improved Longhorn type. Fast forward to 1970 and the
Longhorn breed was classed as a rare breed when the Rare Breeds
Survial Trust was formed. Since then the breed has steadily grown and is no longer classed
as a rare breed with over 12,000 registered females in the UK. One of these breeders is
Granville at Upper Spernal Farm. Mellow Meats' connection with Granville started when he brought
a Pedigree Red Angus bull from George for his breeding program, hence we have the connection
and are very proud to offer this amazing beef to our customers.
