Wagyu Christmas Roasting Joints | Rolled Ribeye and Sirloin, Dry-Aged
Make this Christmas truly unforgettable with our Golden Herd Wagyu Christmas Roasting Joints – an exclusive selection of rolled ribeye and sirloin cuts, each chosen for their exceptional marbling, tenderness and flavour. Sourced from our partnership with the very best British Isles Wagyu herds raised on lush pastures, these roasting joints deliver a dining experience that's both luxurious and memorable.
Both joints are boned, rolled and tied by hand in our butchery, ready for your big day. The rolled ribeye is the richer of the two, with marbling running right through the eye. The rolled sirloin is leaner and firmer, with a cleaner beef flavour and a fat cap that crisps beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ribeye or sirloin — which should I choose?
The ribeye is richer, with marbling running right through it and a softer texture. The sirloin is leaner and firmer with a cleaner beef flavour and a proper fat cap. Choose the ribeye for indulgence, the sirloin if you want something a little less rich on the plate alongside all the trimmings.
How do I cook a Wagyu roasting joint?
Take it out of the fridge at least two hours ahead. Sear hard on all sides, then roast at 160°C — lower and slower than you would a standard joint, so the marbling renders rather than runs. Pull it at 50°C for rare or 55°C for medium rare, and rest for at least 30 minutes. A meat thermometer is essential on a joint this valuable.
What makes Golden Herd Wagyu different?
Golden Herd is our partnership with British Isles Wagyu farms, where the cattle are pasture-raised and grown slowly rather than intensively finished. That gives you the marbling Wagyu is known for alongside the depth of flavour that only comes from grass and time.
Do I need to do anything to the joint before roasting?
No — it arrives boned, rolled and tied, ready for the oven. Keep the string on while it cooks and rests, and remove it just before carving. Season generously with salt only; there's enough flavour in the beef that anything else gets in the way.

Shipping & Storage Information
Shipping
We offer standard delivery services Wednesday - Saturday, the cut off point for next day delivery is 11am. Orders placed after this time can be scheduled for the day after, onwards.
Our boxes are designed to keep the chilled products at the right temperature for up to 72 hours from the time they leave our cold store. Boxes leave us at approximately 4pm each day and are then out for delivery between 8am to 6/7pm so are generally in transit for around 24 hours.
We strongly advise customers to download the DPD app for updates and to organise your "Safe Place" for where the delivery driver can leave your parcel in the event that you are not at your address.
Our deliveries are made on a "no signature required" basis. In the event that nobody is available to take delivery of your order at your delivery address or you ask us to leave your goods unattended at a secure place, Thomas joseph Butchery rejects all liability that may arise in consequence of the delivery being left unattended, including, without limitation, theft, tampering or contamination, however caused. It is your responsibility to be in on the day of delivery and have put in place arrangements for the delivery if you are not going to be at the address. To avoid any unforeseen issues, customers must add "delivery instructions" for where to leave the parcel, at the checkout stage.
The boxes do not need to be signed for but if there is nowhere to leave them, they will be taken back to the depot and you may need to collect the following day or accept delivery on the second day. If delivery is attempted and you are not there on day one we assume no liability after this first initial delivery attempt.
Delivery addresses must be put in correctly by the customer at the checkout. We do not assume any responsibility for goods sent to addresses that are not put in correctly and we do not alter any addresses unless asked specifically to do so by the customer in question either by email or over the phone, this must be done 24 hours before delivery. We hold no responsibility or liability for any goods sent to incorrect addresses that have been organised with our courier by the customer during transit, again it is the customer’s full responsibility to put in an address that is correct.
One hour delivery slots will be sent on the delivery date but no exact time can be given. While our courier does its best to deliver within the timeslot, delays may occasionally occur and claims cannot be made for deliveries received within 48 hours. We recommend choosing a delivery date at least one day ahead of when your order is required to avoid any potential disappointment.

Storage
90% of our products are cut fresh and vacuum packed to give you as long a shelf life as possible, you will have 7 days from the packing date within which to use the meat. All vacuum packed products are issued with a use-by date and must be kept at 4 degrees or below once received. If you would like your products wrapped in paper, please just let us know during checkout.
The use-by-dates for paper wrapped products are as follows:
Beef, Lamb and Pork cuts: 3 days
Chicken, sausages, burgers and mince: 2 days
Our aim is for you to have the best meat products, delivered directly to your door. With that in mind, we’ve put together a simple go-to guide on what to do once you hear the doorbell ring.
-
Unpack. We recommend placing your products on a baking rack in your fridge. Allowing the air to get to your meat will keep them from sweating and discourage bacteria growth. If vacuum packed, take your meat out the day before you want to use it.
-
Store. Keep your meat away from other food, if you can, treat yourself to a whole shelf.
-
Freeze. Freeze on the day of purchase and if vacuum packed, keep them that way. If not, place them in a bag with as little air as possible, try a zip-loc bag and squeeze out the air as you fasten it. Use within 6 months.
-
Defrost. Defrosting in the fridge is the optimum way to go. Allow 24 hours and use within 24 hours of being defrosted.
-
Enjoy. Go fourth and enjoy your wonderful meat! Don’t forget to take a snap and post it on insta or facebook and if you’re really happy, go tell your friends and leave us a review on google :).
