Meat from Lidgates of London, prices vary

But you can also pop into their famous store in Holland Park to experience their five generations of knowledge first-hand. Richard Branson is a huge fan of their produce, which has received countless Great Taste awards.
Some of our favourites to sizzle on your BBQ include the Wagyu burgers from England’s only producer of purebred Wagyu, plus, the Highgrove Burgers made from the grass-fed beef from HRH Prince of Wales’ Highgrove Estate. The family are very selective about the sourcing of their meat, choosing only the finest, organic farms. Lidgates has also achieved the Q Guild of Butchers stamp of approval, which recognises only the very best independent UK butchers.
