The Marvellous Meat Co: Sussex beef, delivered to your door

Launched on 1st September, The Marvellous Meat Co. provides delicious grass-fed, slow-grown beef from traditionally farmed Sussex Cattle, sold at supermarket prices and delivered free to customers’ doors. The company is the brainchild of Paul Ross, former head of the Guinness family office, who realised that cattle left to graze the long-established pastures around his East Sussex home could be sold for the same price as the intensively farmed beef supplied to supermarkets. Furthermore, without the expense of hormone injections, dietary supplements and the need to send cows to specialist farms around the UK for forced fattening, he could even afford to deliver at no extra charge.

It was a proposition too tasty to ignore, and the Marvellous Meat Co. was born. Now offering delicious, environmentally sustainable beef, The Marvellous Meat Co. believes that when it comes to rearing healthy, happy beef herds it’s time to take our cues from a simpler age and 'go back to better'. All its beef is farmed from Sussex Cattle, one of Britain's oldest breeds, raised in their native fields within the Kent and Sussex Weald. Renowned for its superior texture and flavour, this meat is further improved by dry hanging on the bone for 28 days before being expertly butchered onsite by the Marvellous Meat Co's master butcher, Dave Rook.

For families and foodies alike, this is an economical and convenient way to buy quality beef. Customers order online, choosing anything from burgers made with 100% minced steak, to 10% of a cow as a one-off delivery. And since the average family of hungry carnivores consumes one head of cattle per year, there's even the option to buy a whole cow delivered in portions over 12 months with the 'Beef For A Year’ deal. It’s the perfect way to enjoy family-friendly, nose-to-tail eating, and explore every cut, from succulent steaks and roasting joints to slow-cooking favourites such as brisket, cheek and shin. 

Its produce may be traditionally farmed, but the Marvellous Meat Co. service is thoroughly 21st century. Ordering online is easy, and meat boxes are delivered fresh to the door, and packaged in eco-friendly Woolcool, an innovative natural insulation that ensures every order stays at refrigeration temperature for 48 hours after packing. The website itself will also provide support for customers, with detailed information about the breed, history and traceability, as well as inspirational recipes, advice on how to cook each different cut, and even information on the health benefits grass-fed beef provides as part of a balanced diet.
