Having decided to install a Josper

Grill our aim was to nd the best meat

supplier we could. Not only was the

quality important but we also wanted the

farming methods used to be ethical and

for the cattle to be organically reared.

The North Highlands is a part of

Scotland that has a long history of

quality livestock production. The Castleof Mey brand was created by the North

Highland farmers, which is inspired

and supported by His Royal Highness,

Prince Charles.

All cattle are pure breed Aberdeen

Angus and are fully traceable to

individual family farms. They are solely

grass fed for their whole duration until

reaching full maturity.

The beef is given extra avour through

the skillful processing techniques of dryageing, slow chilling and fully maturing

on the bone. All our steaks on the menu

have been dry-aged for at last 35 days.

Dry-ageing beef is what gives it a

wonderful chewy, buttery, nutty taste.

This is because the beefs natural enzyme

shelp break down largely avourless

proteins, fats and sugars into smaller

products which are full ofavour. Also

during this process the meat becomes

more tender and succulent.

THE ORIGIN OF STEAKThe word steak is derived from the Old Norseterm steikjo; to roast on a spit which hasbeen around for as long as there used to

cook it.

All domestic cattle are descended from

a single ancestor, the aurochs. These

were large long horn beasts, that can be

seen depicted in many cave paintings.By 55BC Romans had recorded the

existence of red cattle in south-western

England. Which are almost certainly

the Red Devon cattle which can still be

found there today. This only goes to

show the longevity of eating beef.

THE JOSPERHAS LANDED!

Cooking on re is as old as the hills.

Looking at different cultures around the

world today we can see that it is still verywell-practised. Be it burning charcoal

in India to fuel the tandoor ovens or in

Japan for the robata grills.

Once wed located our fantastic produce

we wanted to serve it in the best way

we know how. So we have invested in a

specialized indoor barbecue grill called

a Josper (imported from Spain), which

is fuelled by charcoal alone.

The meat and sh are grilled directly

over burning charcoal and the oven can

generate heats of up to 500 Celsius. The

intensity of the heat and the taste from

the burning charcoal is the perfect way

to cook our carefully sourced produce,

to keep the meat and sh succulent and

full ofavour.

THE ROOMTEMPERATURE MYTH

Here at The Coal Shed we take wine very

seriously; and like our food we want to

serve it to you in the best way possible. Ingeneral red wines are served far too warm

these days, particularly in restaurants

where the room temperature can get

fairly high. The room temperature rule

for red wines was derived hundreds of

years ago long before wall insulation

and central heating were even invented!

We believe red wines really benet when

served just below room temperature

as it improves the silkiness of the fruit

and also keeps the alcohol in check.With this in mind we have invested in a

red wine fridge that will moderate the

temperature of our wines to around

20C or just below depending on the

weight of the wine. Unfortunately we

will only be able to do this for red wines

bought by the bottle so if youre thirsty,

happy days!
