Seven Wells Farm Foods - History

Three farming families, Knight, Paske and Reynolds joined together to supply their finest home grown produce direct from their farms to you their consumers. The name Seven Wells is derived from Seven Wells farm at Stoke Doyle just outside Oundle where many of the cattle and sheep are raised.

The purchase K Johnson & Son butchers shop, which has been trading in Oundle since 1905, provided chill facilities for hanging the meat and the skilled butchers to continue the delicate work of realising the quality and flavour of the meat you have grown.

To complete the chain the Benefield Wheatsheaf Country Inn and Restaurant were purchased in 2005 providing the ultimate food direct from the farm to your plate experience. Nick Benson, the head chef, was so impressed with the Seven Wells beef and lamb that he agreed to join the team. Nick and his wife Caroline now run the Benefield Wheatsheaf delighting all the customers with the delicious food using home grown beef and lamb and as many fresh local ingredients they can obtain.

The Mission

Seven Wells Families produce quality beef cattle and lamb for that 'full of flavour' eating quality. All animals are born and bred on family farms, locally slaughtered, traditionally hung and prepared by a first class team of butchers at our Seven Wells Family Butchers shop in Oundle.

• From local farms surrounding Oundle


• Traditionally raised to the highest industry welfare standards


• Fully traceable back to the day the animal was born


• Hung sufficiently so that it 'melts in the mouth'


• Skillfully butchered to your exact requirements
