This Year We Awarded
⭐️⭐️ 2 Stars – Bavette Steak
The judges said; This neatly prepared cut has good fat distribution and a fabulously rich depth of aroma. This was echoed in the beef flavour – rich, umami. You get a grassiness to the flavour also. Tender but with some bite. Wow what a steak!
⭐️ 1 Star – Ribeye Steak
The judges said; This is a really lovely looking steak with a beautiful level of fat. The texture is lovely and tastes, as one judge put it, “like good old-fashioned meat”. The palate has forgotten what beef should taste like and this was a lovely reminder.
Over the last few years we have entered several products and have been lucky enough to receive stars each time. Our total star count is really starting to add up.
⭐️⭐️ Tomahawk Steak – 2 Stars
⭐️⭐️ Free Range Goose – 2 Stars
⭐️⭐️ Free Range Turkey – 2 Stars
⭐️⭐️ Sirloin Steak – 2 Stars
⭐️ Fillet Steak – 1 Star
⭐️ Peppercorn Sauce Beef Bombs – 1 Star
As you can see we are still chasing the much illusive 3 Stars!!
