WAGYU meat from cattle reared in the Yorkshire Wolds is proving to be a favourite with customers at a Dorset burger restaurant.

Driffield’s The Yorkshire Wagyu Company is now the sole meat supplier to independent burger restaurant Hao Cow, based in Pan-Asian café bar Ayya in the centre of Weymouth.

Jonathan Shepherd, farmer and co-founder of The Yorkshire Wagyu Company, said it was great to create a buzz about its products in the Dorset seaside town. He said: “We’d eventually like to supply outlets like Hao Cow nationwide and the fact that an eatery in Weymouth is serving our Wagyu is definitely a step in the right direction. We’re pleased to work with a progressive business that is dedicated to serving the best quality Wagyu meat.”

Wagyu beef is known for its intense fat marbling through the meat which gives the beef a deep flavour. Hao Cow is the only outlet in Dorset where Yorkshire Wagyu is available.
