Lovely biltong and meat. My fav place to order from. Arrived in a well packaged box and already eating my venison sticks.
Shocking quality horrible boerewors and customer service is non existent. I have tried 2 different ways of contacting this company and have just been ignored. Very disappointing.
I have been consistently impressed with the service and products from St Marcus over the last couple of years. I placed my latest order on Sunday night and the parcel was delivered on Tuesday. Well packed and everything intact. Thank you for supplying me with my favourite South African goodies.

Reply from Biltong St Marcus
Just FYI, I have been a customer for many years, over the last 2 orders the wors has a lots of non edible pieces in the wors . Seems like to make the weight junk is being tossed in . I buy in bulk and have noticed this on 2 separate occasions . The dry wors has also changed flavour . The wagu was great but the regularly Biltong has changed too , texture and flavour. Very disappointed.
Very disappointed, I don't usually leave negative reviews but this was just so bad I had too. Received 1kg of biltong when I ordered 5kg. packaging was poor and marie biscuits got crushed. Droewors was more like a dried salami stick. Refund for the other 4kg of biltong I never received was £8 short. Ingredients on packaging was completely different to what is shown on website and contains way more preservatives and other nasty ingredients.
Perishable items delivered from this company which should have arrived frozen were delivered in a defrosted state. Although the T&Cs state that St Marcus cannot be held responsible for defrosted meat products we assured by phone when ordering that the snoek we ordered would arrive in perfect condition. The after sales service I received following my complaint was inadequate and not understanding of my complaint.
Dreadful. So chewy it was i edible. Total waste if money. Avoid. Do not buy.
Really helpful staff allowing me to pick up my online order in store ready for collection. Excellent quality
In fact, unbelievably excellent service. I ordered 18 bottles of wine yesterday midday and they arrived at 08.15 this morning. I have so many Brownie points credit with hubby now, especially as they were at a discounted price. Will definitely be using you again.
Sent out of date products and 2 failed attempts at communications
Despite enquiring previously about dates on products before purchase no response was given, I decided to chance it anyway and was sent expired products
I emailed about a refund or replacement for only the 1 expired product (big bottle of mazoe over a month past it's date) only to have a failed message delivery notification when contacting via email
I unfortunately strongly do not recommend this supplier which is a big shame as I was hopeing to find a good long term supplier of my favourite SA products... My search continues I guess
Biltong is decent. Not excellent, but also not terrible. Medium dry. Nice cut. Nice amount of fat.
Droewors however is awful. Cut into tiny pieces. Tastes and smells like a perreroni stick, so UK locals might like it but it isn’t recommended for South Africans
Hi, yes they selling too dry and hard biltong, looks like out of date. Not even tasty, as I tried at Savanna shops in London (another biltong company)
Never buy again.
Ordered: Beef Boerewors; Sliced Beef Biltong (soft); Beef Droewors
Everything well packed.
Items still frozen upon arrival.
Opened one of each type of product - delicious!!!
The prices have gone up significantly, but this is happening everywhere, unfortunately.
Did what they said they would do. Parcel just arrived and exceedingly well packed. Parcel contents will now be going to a Terblanche in Indonesia. Daughter very pleased and Dad will be using St Marcus in the future. All good
What a joke of a company! Sending expired products. Then demanding it gets sent back. Then refusing my refund!
Absolutely amazing quality- a real taste of home. Quick delivery and great packaging. I will be back for sure.
Excellent biltong, I really like the chilli beef flavour and they also have a wide range of S.A products including things like Mrs Balls Chutney. It's a good place to order from especially whilst we're in lockdown.
Also, thank you to the very helpful customer service staff. :-)
Unfortunately I cannot recommend shopping here. From my two experiences shopping online, both orders were sent with missing items. In one case I bought the 5.50 Maltabella porridge and they sent me a 2 pound alternative and didn't even mention anything or send me the difference in price until I contacted them. Not good service.
Ordered about 8 bottles of mixed wine and I would highly recommend. Service was quick, well packed and I can't fault it. 10/10..
Great service but Biltong is so full of addetives you can’t call it Biltong. More like a Biltong / Jerky hybrid. We found it inedible.
