‘I’ve seen how the Herefords are cared for, how they’re bred, how they’re reared. For most of the year they’re out in the open, not in sheds. They’re naturally grass fed. Knowing all this gives me so much confidence walking out to talk to a table. It’s amazing to be able to tell guests where exactly the beef has come from, and how natural and well cared for the product is.’
‘Does Hereford taste differently from others? Absolutely it does. Does it stand up to Wagyu and Angus? 100%. In fact, most of the time it’s better. On a busy night we could serve up to 500 guests, so we need to be 100% confident that our beef is of the best possible quality. Working at such a scale, we just can’t take risks or shortcuts. It has to be perfect every single time.
