Camden Park Wines from Australia

A magnificent Irish Moiled bull, back from the brink of extinction.

If it wasn’t for the relentless hard work of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and other such groups, many British breeds of cattle would have become extinct across our islands.

This would have lead to an impoverishment of our rich farming history and homogenisation of the cattle industry.

Fortunatley though, cattle such as our rarest breed, the Irish Moiled, (which had virtually died out altogether 20 years ago), is making a healthy comeback.

Check out the website, it makes interesting reading.

Very close to the Camden Park office in London we are blessed to have the excellent Wyndham House Butchers.

The really do express the best of the traditional family butcher whilst offering a fine range of more unusual cuts and a range of high quality oils, sauces, pasta and cookery books.

Tony, the master butcher at Wyndham House tells us that they source all their produce from family owned farms. Their chickens are from rare breeds grown in Essex whilst their Lamb comes from Wales and their awesome beef comes from over the border in Scotland. The animals live a long happy life without commercial feeds, antibiotics and hormone growth promoters.

Go visit them. Their address is:

39. Tatchbrook Street
London
SW1
Tel: 0207-821-6341

They also have a sister shop at:

309. Fulham Road

And a specialist poultry butchers in London’s famous Borough Market at:
