Taken from the forequarter, the chuck is carefully prepared by our master butchers to reveal the chuck eye before being rolled and tied with butchers twine, a joint which is a favourite in the USA for barbecuing & smoking. Sourced from heritage breed grass-fed beef, and dry aged to relax the muscles for absolute tenderness, this cut is perfect paired with one of our dry rubs or glazes, and cooked long & slow until tender. This impressive cut is sure to wow your guests at your next BBQ with it's rich, beefy and smoky flavour.
The ultimate chuck eye roll can be cooked in 2 ways - slow roasting the meat or indirectly on the BBQ. To slow roast the beef, unpack it and let it come down to room temperature. Pre heat the oven and place the meat on the oven tray uncovered for 5 hours. Once done, wrap it in a foil and let it roast for another 3 hours. Check if the meat is tender, then remove from the oven and let it cool for about an hour before shredding it.
To cook it on the BBQ, pre heat the grill and place a water filled drip pan on it. Place the meat directly on the drip and let it smoke for about 5 hours. Cover the meat with foil and cook for another 3 hours. Check if the meat has cooked and then get it off the grill. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before cutting.

About the breed
we'll choose from our selection of available breeds
It's good to eat and enjoy heritage breed meat from British breeds, showing farmers that there is a market for their herds and flocks and encourage them to rear them. Without a demand for their meat, many breeds would die out altogether. When intensive farming reigned unchallenged in the second half of the last century, many of our traditional breeds all but disappeared because they don't take kindly to factory farming. We want to change this and help more people realise that we need to safeguard the natural biodiversity of our farm animals and to demand meat with intrinsic flavour that comes from higher welfare systems. All of our meat fits that bill perfectly.
