Why you will love our Grass-Fed Beef Ox Cheek...

  • Cook long, low and slow
  • Rich source of natural gelatine
  • Unusual and specialist cut that's good value 

Ox cheek is a lesser-known cut that's a cook's favourite and is probably the hardest working muscle in the animal. Hard working muscles need a long cook, just as shin of beef or ox tail do. Rich in natural collagen, it's fantastic for slow cooking with a deep flavour and melting texture. Once cooked, this cut is truly delicious, the connective tissue becomes sticky and gelatinous.

These ox cheeks come from our dry-hung, heritage breed Suffolk beef. As we are a whole-carcass butchery we only have two per animal, so they are quite a treat these days. Use them in winter stews and ragus, and cook them for as long as possible to release their wonderful unctuous texture. 

Two cheeks serve four people approximately

Want to know more?

Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, whose ‘Pasture for Life’ certified Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm produces exceptional grass-fed beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
