FILL YOUR FREEZER
Our beef box
About 10.7kg of beef: a balance of roasting joints, grilling and frying steaks, braising steak, casserole cuts, diced beef and mince.
Ribble Reward beef from local farms, cut by our own butchers, labelled and packed ready for the freezer, with recipe ideas for every cut. It’s still one of the best-value ways to buy good meat.
FULL CIRCLE
Freezer boxes are where Anderton’s began. In the early 1970s, as home freezers arrived in kitchens across Lancashire, Brendan and Petrina made up deep-freeze meat orders in an outbuilding at Stydd Lee Farmhouse, Ribchester, and delivered them round the villages in their blue minivans. More than fifty years on, we’re packing freezer boxes again, with the same care.

GOOD FOR YOU
Beef and a balanced diet
Naturally rich in protein, and it always tastes great.
- Beef is naturally rich in protein, which helps muscle growth.
- It’s a source of iron, which helps the immune system work and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- It provides eight essential vitamins and minerals that support good health: niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus.
- It’s a rich source of zinc, which supports normal cognitive function, fertility and reproduction.
- Fully trimmed raw lean beef contains on average just 5% fat.
