Let’s just take a moment to recognise and celebrate the unrivalled flavour, distinctive aroma and unparalleled satisfaction that comes with cooking over hot coals!

We guarantee the best BBQ Meat Boxes you will find are from Swaledale Butchers.

The cuts chosen for The BBQ Meat Box are perfectly suited to cooking over open coals and offer a range of textures, and flavours, so there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

Chef George Ryle inspires:
“Marinating the chicken drumsticks in the Spanish-style with smoked paprika, dried oregano, lots of garlic and a little lemon. A few padrón peppers on the bbq at the same time whilst potatoes roasted with olive oil and salt wait patiently in the wings. And probably a bowl of aïoli too.
The North African-style Kofta Kebabs need a flatbread gently warmed on top of them whilst they cook, some garlic yoghurt, and a salad of red onion, gherkin, tomato and cucumber.
Pork chops, slow cooked over the embers and smoke until a perfect pink, and then rested with a couple of slices of rosemary and anchovy butter on top. Some fresh borlotti beans and a little chard on the side would make for a stunning centrepiece.
Or, indeed, the ribeye steaks cooked with just the right amount of char, served with a tomato salad spiked with fresh horseradish and green peppercorns.

It all started with a conversation…
It’s fair to say Jorge comes from a food obsessed family. He grew up in the wilds of the Brecon Beacons, the rugged landscape was his playground, yet there was always the sensation of homecoming, to the kitchen, the buzz of preparation, and cookery at the heart of it all. In his youth Jorge worked at The Walnut Tree, a Michelin starred Italian restaurant in Monmouthshire, and it was here that his love of food became a love of fine food.
Founders Jorge and Charlie
Years later whilst studying at Leeds University Jorge enjoyed exploring the Yorkshire Dales, and sourcing quality ingredients and specialist food items from local artisan producers. On a whim Jorge wandered into The Drapers Arms in London and told the chef about the fantastic produce he’d discovered in the Yorkshire Dales. Much to Jorge’s surprise and delight, the chef (Karl Goward) put in an order on the spot; Swaledale was born, and that fortuitous conversation in 2009 led to our very first delivery.
Jorge was a one man band with a refrigerated van, working directly with the farmers in Yorkshire to source heritage breed meat, and organically growing his network of chefs in some of the best kitchens in London. Jorge and his trusty van were the link between two very different worlds, and it was by knowing the farmers first hand that Jorge was able to deliver more than just high welfare meat, he also guaranteed provenance.
What Swaledale stands for
Jorge was soon joined by his brother-in-law Charlie, and together they formalised Swaledale’s commitment to support small scale farmers, promote heritage and native livestock breeds, and supply customers across the UK with sustainable, traceable meat that’s Always Fresh Never Frozen®.
“Swaledale is based in Skipton, and proud of it; we’ve become synonymous with whole-carcass, nose-to-tail butchery in Yorkshire, and for supplying the finest produce farmed on The Dales.”
