Great British Beef Week 2026 runs from 23th to 30th April, bringing together producers, butchers, and food lovers across the country to celebrate the exceptional taste of British beef. The nationwide campaign shines a spotlight on the hard work, care, and dedication of the farmers who produce it, championing quality, heritage, and the journey from pasture to plate.
There are few things that feel more distinctly British than a beautifully cooked steak. Simple, generous, and full of flavour, it is the kind of experience that brings people together around the table and turns an ordinary evening into something worth remembering.
At IMP & MAKER, that is something we care deeply about. Because a great gift is not just about what you send, it is about the story behind it.
The best of British, done properly
British beef is known around the world for its quality, and for good reason. From farm to fork, it is shaped by traditional farming methods, high welfare standards, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
But exceptional beef does not happen by accident. It takes expertise, patience, and a deep understanding of the craft.
That is why we partner with Blackwell & Co.
Our steak supplier: Blackwell & Co
Blackwell & Co have been sourcing and preparing outstanding British meat for generations. As a family-run butcher, they bring together heritage techniques with a modern eye for quality, ensuring every cut is expertly selected and perfectly prepared.
Their approach is simple. Respect the product, work with trusted farmers, and let the quality speak for itself.
From rich, marbled ribeye to beautifully tender sirloin, every steak is chosen for flavour, texture, and that unmistakable sense of indulgence that turns a meal into an experience.
It is this level of care that makes them the perfect partner for our steak hampers.
Our Tomahawk Steak hampers, reimagined
We have recently given our steak hampers a full revamp, and they have never looked, or tasted better.
Designed to feel even more generous, more elevated, and more giftable, every detail has been carefully considered. From the way they are presented to the balance of what is inside, this is steak night done the IMP & MAKER way.
At the heart of our Tomahawk Steak Hampers is something truly special: Dedham Vale Dry Aged & Grass Fed British Tomahawk Steak.
This is not just any cut. It is a statement piece.
Sourced from Dedham Vale cattle that graze exclusively on grass in the fields and water meadows throughout the summer months, and on hay harvested from the farm during winter, the result is beef with depth, character, and a naturally rich flavour profile.
The animals are raised to the highest welfare standards, with no cereals or supplementary feed at any stage. That simplicity in farming is exactly what creates such complexity on the plate.
Dry aged for enhanced tenderness and flavour, this is a cut designed for proper moments. The kind of steak you cook slowly, carve generously, and share without rushing.
Every Tomahawk Steak Hamper also includes full cooking instructions and beautifully designed recipe cards, ensuring the experience feels as seamless as it is impressive. Whether you are an experienced home cook or gifting to someone who just loves great food, everything is there to guarantee a perfect result.
The benefits of choosing grass fed beef
Beyond flavour, grass fed British beef offers a number of natural advantages:
- Lower total fat levels compared to grain-fed beef
- Significantly higher levels of antioxidants, including Vitamin E
- Increased amounts of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)
- Up to three times more Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
- Higher levels of essential minerals including zinc, iron, phosphorus, sodium and potassium
It is beef that is not only better to eat, but better to understand. Honest farming, exceptional quality, and flavour that speaks for itself.
Whether it is a cosy night in, a celebratory dinner, or a gift that needs to land with impact, this is steak at its most impressive.
More than just a steak
A great steak deserves more than just a plate. It deserves the full experience.
That is exactly what our steak hampers are designed to deliver. Thoughtfully curated, each one brings together everything needed to create a proper occasion at home.
From exceptional cuts of British beef to carefully selected accompaniments, every element is chosen to complement the star of the show. It is about balance, flavour, and creating a moment that feels both effortless and unforgettable.
Whether it is a gift for a birthday, a thank you, or simply a way to treat someone to something special, it is a way of giving more than just food. You are giving the experience of slowing down, cooking something beautiful, and enjoying it together.
The Ultimate Tomahawk Hamper
For those moments that call for something truly unforgettable, our Ultimate Tomahawk Hamper takes everything up a level.
At its centre is a showstopping Dedham Vale Dry Aged & Grass Fed British Tomahawk Steak, a cut designed for proper celebration and slow, generous dining.
Alongside it, everything you need to build a full steak experience at home:
- Bohns Steak Mate Rub
- Sweet potatoes presented in an IMP & MAKER black cotton bag
- Sublime Garlic & Herb Butter
- Geo Foods White Truffle Salt
- Lincolnshire Poacher Red Cheese
- Cherry vine tomatoes

It is a complete experience, built around one exceptional centrepiece but designed to feel abundant, generous, and ready to cook. Everything arrives curated, considered, and ready to bring the occasion to life.
Recipe cards are included, so whether it is a confident home cook or a first-time Tomahawk moment, everything is guided, simple, and set up for success.
This is not just dinner. It is theatre, it is sharing, and it is the kind of gift that turns an evening into a memory.
A gift worth sharing
There is something inherently generous about steak. It invites people in, encourages conversation, and creates those moments that linger long after the plates are cleared.
That is why it makes such a powerful gift.
For friends, family, clients, or colleagues, a steak hamper feels considered, indulgent, and unmistakably special. It is a way of saying you deserve something great, without needing to say anything at all.
