Absolutely disgusted by the shoddy level of customer service I've recived this time round on my order. An error on the Piper's Farm website meant that they'd automatically allocated a different date for delivery, meaning that the food wasn't here for my special celebration lunch. My order confirmation even said 'Delivery Date:' but with a blank space and no date on it. I emailed them well before the delivery date which they seemed to have randomly decided for me, and said I'd need to cancel the order as I won't need the food or be in to take stock of it, but Piper's Farm have repeatedly ignored my emails and just tried to pass the buck. This is my fifth time ordering from them but I won't make this mistake again as the customer service is really really disappointing, and they have refused to take responsibiity for their own website error.

I was excited to place my first order with Pipers Far, a £35 basket of quality meat, including hard-to-find organ cuts. As a first-time customer, I received a promotional email offering a discount code. But when I tried to use it, it didn’t work. Only after digging through a very very long email did I find a tiny line in a tiny font at the bottom: a £75 minimum spend was required. This wasn’t made clear upfront, and as a new customer, it felt misleading. When I raised the issue, customer service was polite but dismissive. No goodwill gesture, no apology, just a vague note that my feedback would be "passed to marketing." I wasn’t expecting the red carpet, but a small gesture or even genuine engagement would have gone a long way. Sadly, this left a sour taste. I want to support ethical, local food producers but trust and clarity matter. I hope they improve how they communicate with new customers.

Ordered the Cheese Feast Box and the cheeses received were very short dated. Disappointing and not really acceptable.

Hi Steven, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am disappointed that we weren't able to be worthy of 5 stars! I've sent you an email as I cannot see that we have had any correspondence with you, if you could send us across some additional information then hopefully we can get to the bottom of this for you. Best Wishes, James

Didn't deliver on day that I'd booked. Or the next day. Or the day after that. Didn't communicate the delays at all. Failed to reply to my two emails seeking an update. Only apologised for the missed delivery when I raised this with them after the package was finally delivered. This is the second time I have had this problem with Pipers.

Communication is key, and I apologise for the lack of updates regarding your order. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and I can assure you we are taking this very seriously to improve our processes moving forward. Best Wishes, James

Our goose was delivered on the wrong day and was left on the edge of the road not at our house. I raised these issues with Pipers Farm and their response has implied both issues are my fault. Mistakes happen but the lack of an appropriate response means that I cannot trust them to deliver and will not be ordering again.

Delivery failure... again. Ordered a Christmas delivery as a gift for friends. Ordered one month ahead. No delivery on the day I'd chosen. No delivery the following day. No delivery the day after that. No contact from Pipers to say there would be a delay or to advise when the package would arrive - until an email from the delivery company announcing the imminent delivery - four days late. When I responded to a Pipers Farm Facebook post about despatching Christmas orders, I got no response, then a day later - when I posted again about still not getting a delivery or delivery advice - I got a response saying the package was out for delivery that morning (I'd already been told by the courier company at that stage). No explanation for the delay. No apology. This is the second Pipers gift delivery that has had botched delivery. The other one also arrived days late. The product can be as amazing as anything, but if it is let down by poor service and totally unreliable delivery - then it is all for nought. It is embarrassing to ask friends or family to wait in for a package.... and nothing arrives.

We placed our Christmas order in early November, all products ordered were shown as being in stock, sadly when our order was delivered two of the products were not as ordered. One item was missing completely and one was substituted, we received no email in advance informing us and the missing item was not credited until I raised the matter with Piper's. We are local to Piper’s and try to support such businesses, regretfully on this occasion Piper’s fell short of the standard we would expect.

I won't be ordering from Pipers Farm again...I ordered a 4.5kg Cockerel for christmas day and a 3.8kg cockerel arrived...When i phoned them to discuss they reluctantly apologised and refunded £8! That's fantastic, thanks Pipers! What good is £8 going to do on Christmas Day! Had they told us they would be exchanging for a smaller bird then we would have ordered elsewhere! Totally unacceptable Pipers!

I received very short-dated ambient items. I was fobbed off and told that it's because they work with artisan producers. I've ordered from plenty of similar companies in the past, and never had this issue. I would not order from them again.

Absolutely hopeless in terms of delivery. You wait all day for a delivery to be told late in the day it'll be the next day. Dealing with Pipers Farm is simply not worth the stress and effort that's entailed in organising ones life around it's poor delivery practices.

Part of order - which was placed in September - was cancelled the day before delivery in early December. Absolutely appalling attitude from Customer Service. I have been buying from Pipers Farm for years and I have never encountered such rudeness and unhelpful service from them.

Normally happy with our meat but ordered the pork belly this time. It arrived with lots of hairs still in the skin, impossible to to remove and did not dissappear when cooking. Very unediable and dissapointed with the quality of preparation.
