Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two or a Galentine’s gathering, our premium cuts and pre-prepared dishes take your Valentine’s feast to the next level.

From perfectly prepared individual beef Wellingtons to indulgent sharing chateaubriand and impressive côte de boeuf, we’ve got standout centrepieces ready for your table. And these are just a few of the exceptional cuts and creations on offer that are guaranteed to get your pulses soaring.

Individual Beef Wellington – Ready-to-Cook Elegance

Our individual beef Wellingtons are freshly made in store using tender beef fillet, rich mushroom duxelles and golden, buttery puff pastry. They’re perfectly portioned for a romantic dinner and deliver that high-end restaurant feel without the hard work. Crisp on the outside and juicy and flavourful inside – they’re a Valentine’s classic for a reason.

Cooking Tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking for an even, crisp finish.
• Bake on a lined tray until the pastry is deep golden and flaky.
• Rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the meat tender and juicy.

Pro Tip: Brush the pastry lightly with egg wash or milk before cooking for extra shine and colour.

Chateaubriand – The Ultimate Sharing Cut

Cut from the thickest part of the fillet, chateaubriand is renowned for its tenderness and delicate, buttery texture. It’s a beautiful sharing cut that slices effortlessly and makes a stunning table centrepiece for two. Lean, refined and packed with flavour, it pairs perfectly with indulgent sauces and classic sides.

Cooking Tips:

• Bring to room temperature before cooking for consistent results.
• Season simply with salt and pepper, then sear before roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to achieve your preferred doneness (medium-rare is ideal).

Pro Tip: Finish with a knob of garlic and herb butter while resting for added richness and aroma.

Côte de Boeuf – Bold, Bone-In Showstopper

Our côte de boeuf is a thick-cut, bone-in ribeye known for its deep marbling and exceptional flavour. Big, bold and built to impress, it’s ideal for sharing and perfect for anyone wanting a steakhouse-style experience at home. The bone enhances flavour while helping the meat stay succulent during cooking.

Cooking Tips:

• Sear over high heat first to build a rich crust, then finish in the oven.
• Allow a longer resting time than smaller cuts to keep it tender.
• Slice against the grain when serving for maximum tenderness.

Pro Tip: Add fresh thyme, rosemary and crushed garlic to the pan while basting for steakhouse-level flavour.
