Meats
Sandys now has its own in-store butcher, who selects and prepares Beef, Lamb, Pork and Game into various popular cuts.
Only the best lean meats are selected, prepared and packed into read-to-buy packs, they are often in demand for their quality, price and presentation.
Sandys Beef has been hung for a minimum of 20 days by traditional methods, sometimes referred to as "Dry-Ageing" where the beef is hung on-the-bone in a temperature controlled environment. This process has the effect of removing excess moisture, drying slightly and giving a full beef flavour to ensure the meat is tender. Shrinkage during cooking is also minimized.
In addition to the large selection of meat cuts, Sandys has commissioned a selection of specially made Speciality Sausages.
With the minimum amount of additives, some of our sausages are Gluten Free and No Pork used too.
Varieties often found on display include:
Algerian Merguez, Beef & Black Pudding, Beef Steak, Boerewors, Chorizo, Classic Cumberland, Creole, East Indian, Game, Lamb & Fresh Mint, London Breakfast, London Breakfast Chipolata, London Breakfast Cocktail, Gloucester "Old Spot", Pork & Leek, Pork Apple & Cider, Pork Honey & Mustard, Premium Cumberland, Spanish, Spicy Italian, Traditional Toulouse, Venison & Red Wine, Wild Boar & Apple.
We also stock MacSweens Haggis for "Burns Night" and New Year celebrations or for any other occasion.

Poultry
At Sandys we have selected a range of splendid poultry products. Our Premium Fully Free-Range chickens are farm reared on Temple Farm, Harlow, Essex.Label Anglais Chicken was introduced in the 1990’s and is acclaimed by many experts as the finest chicken produced in the UK, it is served in many top restaurants.
There are no short cuts or modern methods in the way Label Anglais raise their chickens. They start off with a special breed based on two old British breeds, Red Cornish and White Rock. Because of their heritage, they are suited to our climate, and thrive in their free range pastures. Their breeding also means they are much slower growing than modern chicken, which gives the meat longer to develop a good texture. And, unlike most other chicken, they are grown to full maturity – all those extra weeks scratching around the fields and hedgerows helps bring out a fuller, more satisfying flavour in the meat.
* A special slow-growing breed * Fully free range from five weeks old
* Grown to full maturity * Fed a high cereal diet, including 20% maize
* Fed no antibiotics * No artificial additive or colourings.
Special Reserve Chicken, A combination of the best of the old with the best of the new. The breed is developed from the same female line as Label Anglais, but carries more breast meat, of a paler colour, than Label Anglais.
Raised fully free-range from five weeks, fed a natural diet, and grown slowly to full maturity.
The meat has a more delicate flavour and excellent texture.
Banham Chickens are raised on farms in Norfolk by a traditional family run, self contained business in Norfolk, which farms Barn Reared English Chickens (the company began in the village of “Banham” in 1959).
No added water or growth hormones are used.
We offer these birds in whole oven ready form and portions, legs, thighs and drum sticks.
Poulet Noir, A French black footed and feathered breed of chicken is renowned for its fabulous flavour. are France’s finest. Specially bred, these free-range birds are farmed using traditional methods and fed on natural diets.
A favourite of top chefs, Black Leg Chickens are renowned for their fabulous flavour
