Excellent

Superb meat, prompt and helpful customer service. My only criticism is it would be nice to know exactly which farms the meat comes from!

Lamb box

Lamb box. Delivery was delayed but I was kept up to date and it wasn't a problem for me .
We had the lamb shoulder for Sunday dinner which was really tender and delicious. Enough left for a curry the next night.

I have had orders a few times before…

I have had orders a few times before and been very impressed with the service and quality of the meat .
I received the Easter Box on time and the meat looks great and a lot of items for the money , however I have only had the boned lamb leg up to now and felt disappointed with it, it was quite tough and didn’t have a lot of flavour.
