As you’d expect, the UK’s top celebrity chefs are passionate about meat. Over the years, they’ve come to value and rely on the gorgeous cuts and friendly, reliable service they get from Fairfax Meadow. So, naturally, when we launched Broad Stripe, they were really excited about bringing the public the same fantastic-quality meat in their own homes. Here are just a few of the lovely things they’ve had to say about us:
Brian Turner can’t get enough of our British meat: “I’ve worked with the team behind Broad Stripe Butchers for many years, as top quality meat is fundamental to my business and professional reputation.” “To produce the best British food, you need the very best British ingredients – the better the meat, the better the dish.”
For Angela Hartnett, it’s the personal touch that makes the difference: “I’ve been using Fairfax Meadow for four years, and the service is, I can safely say, second to none. From day one, they’ve offered the two criteria that a chef looks for in a supplier – quality and reliability – and added to that, a personal touch that one doesn’t expect from a large company. “It’s great to know they’re branching out into a different area, to give everyone a chance to order such great quality meat instead of just us in the industry. “Having worked so closely with their sister company Fairfax Meadow, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Broad Stripe Butchers.”
Paul Gayler agrees: “I’ve worked with the team at Fairfax Meadow for five years, and they’ve never failed to produce top-quality products which we can proudly pass on to our customers. “The relationships we hold with our suppliers must be steadfast and strong. Fairfax Meadow have always supported us and been consistent with quality, timing, deliveries and pricing – I’m sure Broad Stripe will be just as dedicated.”
Michel Roux thinks our beef’s the best: “Broad Stripe Butchers’ sister company Fairfax Meadow has been an official supporter of The Roux Scholarship for some years. At the 2007 finals we asked our contestants to cook a classic Escoffier dish – Tournedos Rachel – and serve it with a classic Roux Bordelaise Sauce. As I told the audience (of some 350 top names in the UK catering industry), this beef was some of the finest I’ve ever tasted.
“It was Casterbridge Beef from Fairfax Meadow – the same beef which is supplied to customers ordering steak from Broad Stripe.”
Henri Brosi really values his relationship with Fairfax Meadow: “Quality, reliability and trust are essential to a chef. I’ve worked with Fairfax Meadow for 12 years, and during this time our relationship has grown to an equal awareness of each other’s movements and growth within the industry.
“Their knowledge, expertise and skills are fundamental to my business and also to others that use their services, so I’m more than happy to endorse their sister company Broad Stripe Butchers.”
David Nicholls says: “I’ve worked with Fairfax Meadow for many years and have always felt a real sense of pride in their product. “The diversity of meat is excellent, always consistent in quality, packaging and deliveries are always on time. “Having been a loyal and satisfied customer of Fairfax Meadow for over 15 years, it doesn’t surprise me that they are now about to venture into the domestic market, at last delivering quality meat, well packed and acceptably priced ,to people in their homes.”
With endorsements like this, who could resist a nice, juicy Casterbridge steak for tea this week? Or how about some lovely tender lamb chops? If it’s good enough for the professionals, it’s got to be good enough for your kitchen. So don’t forget to visit our online shop before you leave.
