Love the planet, love your belly.

When i placed my order i asked for it to be delivered in December for some strange reason. When I didn't receive my order after a week or so of ordering it, I contacted the company who highlighted my mistake. They changed the date and I got my meat a few days later. No fuss, no extra charges just friendly and professional. THANK YOU.
Right, about the meat.
You will notice a hugh difference in the taste. My partner does not like the sausages or bacon, he finds the taste to strong. But he does enjoy the cuts of meat very much and comments that the lamb is lamber and the beef is beefer.
I grow my own veg and he didn't like the carrotts to start but now loves them and dislikes bought carrotts. For me, I LOVE all of it. It tastes as it should. I can certainly tell how much our food is messed about with.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fields being fields and not chemical soup. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the animals enjoying a stress free, happy, natural, long life as apposed to ........ awfull.
I don't buy from any butcher, if iv no ethical meat in, I go veggie

Delicious and nutritious.

The ordering process was relatively straightforward and painless with a wide range of products. After ordering the order is packaged and shipped to you with an update along the way. Most of all the products are delicious and nutritious.

Taste great!

Order came on time, was kept informed of the progress. The beef tastes great and not greasy like one would expect from the high fat content. Will definitely be using this for my monthly grocery shop.

Amazing meat, timely delivery, and friendly team

The meat I order from The Ethical Butcher is consistently outstanding — excellent quality and well worth the price. I really appreciate being able to choose my delivery slot, and my orders always arrive right on time. Whenever I’ve needed to contact their team, the communication has been prompt, professional, and friendly. I’m always impressed with both the product and the service — I’ll happily keep ordering from them again and again.

Great tasting meat

Great tasting meat, that's no comparison to anything from my local supermarket. I also love knowing where it's come from. Delivery is excellent and the fact I can choose what day it arrives ensures it's never left on my doorstep for any length of time. Fantastic!

Reply from The Ethical Butcher

Thank you for your feedback , that’s fair to say. We’re not positioned to be the cheapest option, and that’s a deliberate choice.
We believe there’s no such thing as truly cheap food. the cost is always paid somewhere along the line, whether by the farmer, the environment, animal welfare, or ultimately by how well our food nourishes us. Our focus is delivering value, on producing food well, on working directly with British regenerative farmers who restore the land, on fresh-cut to orders, and without shortcuts.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Lovely mince and liver

Lovely mince and liver, my only reservation is delivery is via a courier so slight concern about temperature control even though packaged with cool packs.

Sensational leg of lamb!

I ordered the leg of lamb (together with 2 other products)
I cooked the lamb medium rare and it was undoubtedly the nicest lamb I have ever tasted! There were 5 of us for lunch and everyone agreed that it was sensational in taste and succulence.
This is definitely down to the way in which the meat from The Ethical Butcher is grown and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company to anyone who is hesitating. Give it a go, you will not regret it! 😁
