Collaborations
It was a spontaneous conversation with the chef at The Drapers Arms that led to Swaledale Butchers receiving its first wholesale order. Since then, the business has grown organically, connecting with restaurants that share our farming values. Word-of-mouth recommendations between chefs have allowed Swaledale to build steadily, in step with its expanding relationships across the restaurant community.
Our ethos of heritage breeds and whole-carcass butchery takes many forms on tables around the country. Swaledale meat gives chefs something to work with: depth of flavour, character and the freedom to interpret it in their own way. That is something we take great pride in.
This space brings together our collaborations with chefs and restaurant partners, shaped by shared values, mutual respect and a love of good cooking. Some become products for you to enjoy at home, whilst others mark a moment, a menu or an ongoing creative partnership.
