Similar to how we categorize wine by its region and method of cultivation, each wagyu brand meets different standards according to the production area, bloodline, breed, grade, and method of rearing.

The 33 man England squad for the 2016 Six Nations was announced today and Tom Hixson is very proud to see two regular customers among the list of the named players; Sam Hill and Elliot Daly. The pair are two of seven uncapped players named in a new look squad. 

This is a lovely Sunday roast recipe. The beer creates a beautifully tangy taste and rounds it off really nicely. We would recommend having it with a nice burger bun and plenty of coleslaw to counter the sweetness of the beef. You can reheat this the next day and it put it in a lunch time sandwich. It tastes absolutely delicious and requires minimal effort.

Boston butt is one of our best sellers. The meat produces such tender and juicy flavour and is best enjoyed as pulled pork on a burger bun. Pulled pork is an all-time party favourite and a great crowd pleaser. The dry rub in this recipe is so versatile and can be used for many other BBQ meats. It is a very well-rounded flavour enhancer and can be slightly altered to taste. The base is always the same and can be spiced up dependent on the individual taste.

]

Ribs are the showstopper of any BBQ. Whether it be winter or summer, there is always a time for ribs. St. Louis style ribs are so juicy and tender. The BBQ sauce in this recipe has a tangy flavour that counteracts the sweetness of the rub and produces a lovely well-rounded aroma. If you don’t want to make your own BBQ sauce or you already have a high-quality BBQ sauce at home, you can use that as well.

With the holiday period just around the corner, many of us are already planning our menu over the Christmas break. This is the time of the year to celebrate with friends and family and as such it is important to get the food choices right.
