“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!”
The meat is unreal. Great farm shop. Butchers happy to cut unusual cuts, I asked for picanha and they had no issues. Well worth a visit. Take away sandwiches are amazing too.
– Adam Silver
“FABULOUS FARM SHOP!”
Simply the best steaks!
Have enjoyed these a number of times, they are consistently excellent. The kitchen is a great place for coffee too, the food is excellent value! Beautiful views and the whole place is simply a breathe of fresh air.

“LOVELY!”
Lovely, local visit to Forage! Brilliant place, really impressed with the welfare standards of the chickens, definitely getting my eggs from here in the future!

“FAVOURITE PLACE TO GO!”
I’m obsessed with Forage. I often come for a coffee and a pastry and stay for a few hours while my little boy plays in the park. I can’t recommend it enough.

The Forage Butchery
Situated at the back of the farm shop, our Butchery counter supplies high quality meat with the majority of our product reared here on Penllyn Estate.
BEEF
Our native breed of Aberdeen Angus beef, renowned for its high quality, intense marbling and flavour, is reared for 18-22 months at Penllyn Estate Farm to supply Forage Farm Shop and Kitchen.
The cows are grass fed throughout the summer months and supplemented with home produced forage throughout the winter. Regular and prime cuts are hung for a minimum of 28 days to enhance flavour and tenderness.
LAMB
Penllyn Estate Farm supplies Forage Farm Shop and Kitchen with its flock of Romney ewes. The ewes have a staggered lambing period to take advantage of new season grass growth throughout the year. The flock is grass fed all year round and supplemented with root crops and clover leys where necessary.
PORK
Our Penllyn Estate Farm supplied pork, sold at Forage, derives from a traditional Welsh breed; curiously named the Welsh Pig. This hardy pig can be traced back to an indigenous, white lop-eared breed, kept in Wales for as long as records exist. The home reared pigs are kept on dedicated grass paddocks, with shelters for inclement weather.
POULTRY AND GAME
Forage Farm Shop and Kitchen offer free-range chickens, ducks and seasonal fowl. A range of game is available from our butchery counter according to the season and availability, so be sure to look out for duck, pheasant and other game during the autumn and winter months.
EGGS
Our eggs come from our very own free-range brood of Lohmann Brown chickens, who enjoy pottering about over 50 acres of grass pasture and newly planted woodland all year round. The eggs are produced to RSPCA Freedom Foods standards which ensures we meet strict welfare standards through regular inspection.
The Estate adheres to the Farm Assured Welsh Livestock scheme, demonstrating a commitment to maintain high standards of animal welfare and husbandry and the farm is regularly inspected by an independent body which ensures we meet the requisite standards for welfare.
Visit the counter for your next mealtime inspiration and ask our friendly and knowledgeable staff any questions. Our butchers work closely with our head chef to create flavoursome deli goods.
