Shin of Herefordshire Beef

Shin of beef is the cut that serious cooks seek out. One of the hardest-working muscles on the animal, it's packed with collagen and connective tissue that, given enough time and gentle heat, melts into the richest, most gelatinous sauce you'll ever taste. This is slow-cook cooking at its very best.

Our shin comes from locally reared Staffordshire cattle, hand-prepared by our butchers and cut fresh to order. It's a cut with real depth — the kind that makes a simple pot of braised beef taste like something from a proper restaurant kitchen.

• Slow Cooker Shin — set it low and slow all day for incredible results
