10th August @ Exeter Castle
Love Local Food Festival
We’re super-excited to announce the first ever Greendale Love Local Food Festival! Bringing a taste of the countryside to Exeter city centre, this family-friendly event takes place on August 10th at historic Exeter Castle from 10am until 7pm.
We’ll be hosting plenty of foodie experiences, street food, live music, a traditional bar, al fresco cocktails, children’s activities and more. Take a deep dive into the local food scene with ice cream and cheese making demos, gin and chocolate tasting experiences and more. We’ll be setting up stalls in the castle itself and in the courtyard, seconds away from the High Street – we’d love for you to join us! The event is completely free – no tickets required!

The Ultimate Cheeseburger
We may be biased, but we believe our hand-made burgers are a cut above the competition – for a quick and easy meal or a reliably tasty BBQ, it’s hard to go wrong with a Greendale burger. That said, adding a slice or two of your favourite cheese during cooking will take any burger to the next level; for research purposes (obviously!) we decided to try out a few different cheese-pairing choices for our burgers, with the result that several beautiful new partnerships have now been born!
Balsamic BBQ Pork Baguette
Quick, easy and properly tasty – serve with grilled veg of your choice for a brilliant BBQ meal (we like asparagus spears and garlicky sweetcorn cobs). Serves 4.
BBQ Diaries; Spatchcock Chicken
The rich and spicy flavours of the BBQ chicken balance well with the smoky, creamy butternut mash, for a dish that’s full of flavour and summer vibes, and good for the soul.

Greendale Butchers
Award-Winning Butchers
Greendale's butchers prepare all our meat on-site at the farm shop using meat from our own farm. With years of experience, they are always on hand to help customers with expert advice about choosing the right cut of meat and the best way to cook or prepare it. If you’re buying online, rest assured that this same expertise has been put to good use to ensure your purchase is exactly right; you’ll find all of our meat is available in a wide range of cuts and portions, ready-packed for fast delivery.
Why Greendale Beef is best
Pastured at our family farm on East Devon’s Jurassic coast, the Greendale beef herd comprises a mix of Limousin, Charolais, Red Devon Cross, Belgian Blue and Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle. We place great importance on animal welfare, such as the guidelines set out by the Red Tractor Food Assurance Scheme. Good herd management and a grass- and maize-based diet ensure our animals lead healthy, stress-free lives, and in turn produce superb quality meat. Our beef is hung on the bone for a minimum of three weeks, giving it time to develop wonderful tenderness and flavour, then the skilled butchers at Greendale Farm Shop finish the process, preparing the delicious, high-quality beef products we’re renowned for.
From Farm to Plate:
Part 1 The Cattle
Greendale Farm Shop's 'From Farm to Plate’ film series tells the story of Greendale beef. Starting with the cattle grazing above the Jurassic coast, it moves on to visit the double award-winning butchers at Greendale Farm Shop in Exeter, and ends with Chef Tom Williams-Hawkes cooking a finished beef dish at the Salutation Inn. The first film, Part 1, features Sam, our Farm Manager, as he checks the Greendale herd.

BBQ Diaries BBQ Steak With Chimichurri
We asked Exeter-based grill guru, Simon Osmond (catch him on Instagram @bbqdiariesuk) to come up with some tasty BBQ recipe suggestions for our produce, and he didn’t disappoint! Here's the first of his contributions: a tasty Greendale Sirloin steak, cooked using the reverse-searing technique and served up with a tasty chimichurri sauce.
Greek-Style Meatball Salad
Don’t let the long list of ingredients put you off – this hearty salad is actually pretty quick to make, once you have everything assembled, and it’s a great way to enjoy a little taste of the sun without the air fare! Serves 4.
Scrumpy BBQ Pork Skewers
Pork and apples definitely have an affinity, and cider-marinated barbecued pork is a lovely (if not particularly traditional) way to enjoy this tasty pairing. The skewers take moments to put together and to cook, but please be aware that you’ll need to leave at least one hour’s marinating time for this recipe.
