A richly flavoured, slow-cooking delicacy, our Whole Oxtail is jointed for convenience and sourced from select British farms. When cooked low and slow, it delivers deeply satisfying flavour and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Whole Oxtail is a traditional favourite prized for its rich, unctuous character and unrivalled depth of flavour. This cut rewards slow cooking with fall-apart tenderness, making it perfect for hearty stews, braises, and classic oxtail soup.

Carefully jointed for ease of preparation, each oxtail is exclusively sourced from trusted British farms and matured slowly to enhance flavour and succulence. Whether you're cooking for comfort or creating a special dish, this is beef at its most satisfying.
