Mail order meat?

EdwardTeach · 26 Sep 2020 at 10:31

We are interested in ordering frozen meat online from an online butcher, I'm sure I have seen them mentioned here, so I am looking for recommendations.

Criteria

1. Quality (for example only interested in free range chicken)
2. Price - I am assuming it is possible to beat waitrose pricing!

I used these during the lockdown and they delivered to South Wales

Find a local butchers - Online meat stuff is fine generally but I found my local butchers more friendly, better value, better quality and happy to match prices online etc.

My local butcher is extremely expensive, and awkward to get to in terms of parking.

I use https://www.tomhixson.co.uk/ I’ve bought loads off them and the quality is excellent. I don’t buy meat from supermarkets any more as the meat is tasteless in comparison

Been meaning to order from this guy for a while: https://theartisanbutcher.com/

Around here there are a lot of farmshops/butcheries etc that will do deliveries fairly locally, is there nothing like that around where you live? Ironically the one furthest away from us (around 20 miles) are the only ones who deliver to us, the more local ones apparently won't come this far

I use Primal Cut but less so for meat and mainly for their grain free baking goods. Worth a look though.

I order from Musclefood.

I'd love to support my local butcher more but it just costs a lot more and the chicken isn't quite as good.

Yeah they did. Only reason I'm still going to them still is because i've locked into a chicken deal. 4 x 5KG for £79 with free delivery.

They're fairly useless at packaging though.

I used to order their bulk chicken from them, but their prices now are more than the supermarkets, so I don't see the point now.

Go to your previous orders and the cheaper price should still be valid. Is for me anyway.
