We love it both hot and cold — it’s delicious thinly sliced in roast beef sandwiches! The rolled brisket is making a come back with recent increases in popularity and we can definitely see why.

Yorkshire Beef

Our beef rolled brisket comes from the very best British beef, sourced from Yorkshire farms local to our base in Sheffield. We only use grass fed, heritage breeds of cattle to ensure the very finest texture and taste. The beef is dry aged on the bone for a minimum of 21 days so you get what we believe to be the best rolled brisket in the country.
