The History Behind Our Craft Butchery

The steak as we know it, goes back to 15th century Italy, where they were cooked in open fires, and the first UK steakhouse was opened in 1723 in London.

We were born in 1974 from a venture between Aberdeenshire Farmer, William Donald, and Master Butcher, John Stone of Russell Meats, we began serving the hospitality trade both in the UK and abroad, supplying the finest grass-fed beef to discerning hotels and restaurants, all over the world. Before long, we had a dream to deliver that same high-quality beef steak and other fine foods to homes just like yours all over Britain.

 

Our 'Big Four' Steaks

The Big Four Steaks, Ribeye, Fillet, Sirloin and Rump, have always been the most popular steaks in almost all restaurants and shops across the UK and our quality, care, and craftsmanship puts ours a cut above the rest, making them a true Donald Russell staple.

There is no better time to showcase these steaks than our Summer Steak Festival so we have broken down each cut to guide you through which steaks are best for you and how to get the most from them.

Our Expert Team of Butchers

We're passionate about the traditional skills of craft butchery and passing them on to the next generation. Even with all the advances in technology which make the job easier, it's essential to have an expert touch, what we call the 'Butcher's eye', something all our expert Butchers have. We work with all of our apprentices to make sure that this is passed on along with the skills and techniques needed to do the job.

There are a lot of skills a Butcher needs, but if we had to choose the most important, it would be hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and exceptional stamina.
