Discover underrated but delicious cuts of meat from Lakings of Louth. Learn how to cook beef brisket, pork shoulder, and silverside with flavour and confidence.
Sure, we all love a good steak – but there’s a whole world of flavour in the less familiar cuts of meat. At Lakings of Louth, we’re passionate about helping you make the most of every part of the animal. This October, we’re shining a spotlight on our favourite underrated cuts.
Beef Brisket
Rich, full-flavoured, and perfect for slow cooking, our beef brisket joint is a must-have this season. Try it smoked, braised in ale, or roasted low and slow for tender perfection.
Pork Shoulder
Ideal for pulled pork, stews, or Sunday roasts, our pork shoulder offers depth and succulence. It’s budget-friendly and incredibly versatile – especially with a spice rub or herby marinade.
Silverside of Beef
This lean joint is great for pot roasts and corned beef-style dishes. Serve it cold in sandwiches or hot with gravy and seasonal veg. A traditional favourite, silverside is making a well-earned comeback.
Why these cuts matter
Cooking with underrated cuts isn’t just delicious – it’s sustainable. These joints are often more affordable and have lower demand, helping to reduce waste and support full-animal use. And making the most of the stunning cuts produced right here in Lincolnshire is exactly what Lakings is all about.
For more than a century, Lakings itself has been handed down from generation to generation, each new custodian subtly making their own mark, all the while preserving everything that Lakings has stood for since 1908 – quality, traditional food, served every day. Our founding values have always been upheld, age-old traditions and skills passed down. And, along with tradition, there too has come innovation. A way of working with local farmers to rear quality, ethical meat, which has seen the Lakings legacy continued.
Lakings has always been the beating heart of a community which is, predominantly, a farming one. It stands proud in a town where people still shop at the butcher, the baker and the greengrocer. Provenance and accountability matter to us, which is why we know they matter to you.
