“Quality Beef on the doorstep, it’d be a shame not to use it.”

I remember saying that, when I first met Clive Bidmead on the Hereford Cattle Society stand at the Royal Norfolk show a few years ago. At that time, Clive and Paula weren’t in a position to sell me any Beef but a bit later, they got in touch and we soon struck up a deal to get some of the Beef into the shop.

Since then, the Herd had grown a little and Clive has invested a lot into an expansion program to be able to send more to us.

We have become quite good friends through this as well, an added extra bonus from a business partnership.

On The Hook
