Our British Beef Topside Roast is a classic choice for a traditional roast dinner. Made from farm-assured British beef, each joint is carefully hand-prepared, trimmed and matured for 14 days for tenderness and flavour.

Naturally lean with a delicate layer of fat, topside is best cooked gently to help retain its succulence. We recommend serving medium for tender, flavoursome slices.

At approximately 500g, it’s the perfect size for a roast for two, whether for Sunday lunch or a special midweek dinner.
