Farm Fresh Beef
Has anyone ever bought any meat from the place that's in Hertford Heath or Little Amwell? I'm not sure exactly where it is, but there's a sign up for it on the A414 as you come in to town from teh A10.
I know it's not strictly Hertford, I just wondered if anyone could recommend it and let me know what it's like? I always mean to stop off there but never seem to pass at the right time, and when I do pass it, can never be bothered to go down to the roundabout and come back.

Yes I brought 2 fillet steaks from there and they were not a patch on Eddies at Sele Farm. They came vacum packed out of a cold display, served by a very unintrested young lady. But I was recomended to go there, so........

I may give the Sele farm butchers a whirl then. They must be better than the bloke who turns up in his truck in town on a Saturday!

we bought some steak from the bloke in town on saturday - have never tasted beef quite like it - totally tasteless and gristly. A real shame :(

I bought a rack of lamb chops from him and they turned out to be all bone. Never been back since.

butchers on Sele farm is superb. If you cant see what you want ask and if they have it in the back they will get it.

We tried to get some meat from the Hertford Heath one on the run up to last Crimble and were told we should have ordered well in advance. I assumed this to be an indication that they were good. Ended up going to Bengeo in the end. Kingshill will get you anything in and cut joints exactly as you want them. The summer they do ready marinated barbie stuff thats good.

A sign of a great butchers (Sele Farm guy) is that he'd run out of most stuff by early Saturday afternoon. Will get there earlier next time. Any other good butchers around? I know of the Foxholes Farm and van in the market)

You can't beat the butchers at Sele Farm, ordered beef from there a few days before Chrismas as unexpected guests were coming boxing day and John was as usual helpful as ever.
