A great find.

This was my first order. It was very easy to place the order a couple of weeks in advance. I’m please to say my order arrived on time, was safely and well packed and arrived chilled.
The quality of the meat excellent. I would highly recommend.

Thank you for my beautiful package…

Thank you for my beautiful package which arrived when I was told it would. The contents were acceptably cold and securely packaged.
Your minced beef is the most delicious I have ever tasted.
I have not yet tried the other items but they look wonderful and I look forward to enjoying them.

Absolutely delicious turkey

Absolutely delicious turkey. Arrived when expected. Very well packaged, so meat in great condition when it arrived. Full of flavour and so moist. I highly recommend The Ethical Butcher.

Best website that we've found for ethically sourced produce

Best website that we've found for ethically farmed produce. There's lots of information on the site. The range is great and the price is as expected. We pre ordered and it all ran smoothly. Delivery was perfect.
We love the gift vouchers. It's the perfect way to introduce friends to this type of shopping. Thank you!

Great service and quality of meat

The rib of beef was excellent and cooked particularly well using the Fallow restaurant method.
The turkey leg roll was not quite as good as it fell apart under slicing, so didn't "look" great but "tasted" fine.
Great delivery service with plenty of communication - would definitely recommend and will use again.

Delicious meat, great company

The meat itself was absolutely superb and well worth the price. Delivery was precisely on time and well packed. I can’t recommend The Ethical Butcher enough and will absolutely be a repeat customer.

Delivered on time....no stressful queuing and confident I'm getting a bird that was reared slowly and with care by using the ethical butcher

Great service

Great service, fantastic to have the turkey delivered to the door. Meat was flavoursome and moist and it was great to know it was sourced locally with good provenance.

Wouldn’t order again

The meat was very good but they all expired within a couple of days.
Although I received an email saying that I can ask for quicker delivery, the reply was it is not possible; therefore I received my order on the 24th of December at 14.00. Honestly this was really late and I was not able to use it for Christmas as intended.

Reply from The Ethical Butcher

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the quality of the meat. I’m sorry, however, that the delivery timing and shelf life didn’t work as you’d hoped.
To clarify the timeline, we received your order on 22 December via the healthy eating website, dispatched it on 23 December, and it was delivered on 24 December, just ahead of Christmas. As our products are freshly cut to order, they typically have a shelf life of 4–7 days, depending on the cut, which can feel tight when orders are placed very close to Christmas.
We appreciate that this meant the order couldn’t be used as intended, and we’re sorry for the frustration caused. If you do choose to try us again, ordering directly through us allows us to support more closely on delivery options and timings, particularly around busy seasonal periods.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave feedback , it’s genuinely appreciated.
