Highly recommend.

DukeHill have recently acquired Donald Russell who I have ordered from previously. I placed my first order and was delighted with the service provided by DukesHill. The products were of high quality. I will most certainly be ordering from Dukeshill again - I just wish they did not use DPD to "deliver" as they are undoubtedly the worst delivery company in the UK

Good quality.

the products are good quality as opposed to supermarket quality, no horrible white residue on frying. good thickness and flavour. wood definitely buy again.
The only negative is the delivery. you need to make sure you are in on delivery day. they leave it outside and drive away before I even opened the door. I think Dukes hill need to have strong words with the courier.

The delivery service aren't reliable

The delivery service aren't reliable, we have found with DPD they ignore your instructions and in this case (order no #558873) the weather was very hot, the box was left on the doorstep, not inside the porch as constantly instructed to DPD, in the blazing sun, hence the contents had defrosted. We ate as much as we could cook immediately but not happy had to throw some out!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're very sorry to hear about your delivery experience.

We understand how frustrating it is when delivery instructions aren't followed, particularly during hot weather. While we work closely with our delivery partners, we're sorry that your parcel was left in direct sunlight rather than in your porch as requested. We will escalate a complaint to the courier used.

We'd also like to reassure customers that our products are not intended to arrive frozen. They are packed to stay chilled in transit, so it is perfectly safe for them to arrive cool rather than frozen. However, if any products arrive no longer cool to the touch, we would always encourage customers to contact our Customer Services team as soon as possible so we can investigate and put things right.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us continue to improve both our service and the delivery experience.

Very unhappy with this order

Very unhappy with this order, scotch eggs rolling around in box and items felt damp packaging not like usual standards.

Please cancel my catalogue delivery as I don’t think I’ll be ordering again.

Very disappointing on this occasion..

Beef Sirloin, Sublime perfection !…

The 1 kilo Beef Sirloin Joint was stunningly good. Seared on all sides of a very hot pan, then roasted for 35 minutes in the oven at 170c fan.. Left to rest for 20 minutes.. Rare side of medium rare. Sublime perfection !

Dukeshill review

1. Pork Belly Confit : Sumptuous pork belly with just the right amount of fat, melt in the mouth tasty pork and excellent crackling. Air fried 16 minutes at 200 C
2. Craster kippers : tasty and fairly meaty but didn't live up to the hype - our local fishmonger's (Carricks) own are better, juicier, meatier and cheaper.
3. Slow cooked beef cheeks in red wine jus: very tasty, melt in the mouth and excellent jus - but not worth the high price tag
4. Half York ham : superb ham as always - cannot be beaten !

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the Pork Belly Confit, Beef Cheeks and our Half York Ham – it's wonderful to know they hit the mark.

We also appreciate your honest feedback on the Craster Kippers. Taste is always personal, and we're grateful for the comparison with your local fishmonger. Likewise, we're pleased you enjoyed the Beef Cheeks, although we're sorry you didn't feel they represented good value. We carefully source high-quality ingredients and prepare our products to the highest standards, but we understand that value is an important part of the overall experience.

Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
