“Plenty of innovative products. The value for money of some is not great but quality is generally good and taste excellent.”

“In short, the best meat I've ever bought from a butchers bar none. The only thing letting Swaledale down for me is that it was the worse delivery experience I've ever had, with the driver not showing up, leaving me wondering if I was actually going to get my order, especially when it was a delivery day I had specifically picked, which was a massive let down. In short, if Swaledale either got a better delivery partner or if DPD improved, ordering from Swaledale would be a 5 star experience. Absolitely fantastic. It's just a shame that as an experience, I have to include my experience with the delivery of what I ordered and for me that's worth dropping a star over and it was so bad I'd considered dropping two. However, that didn't seem fair. If you're willing to put up with DPD, then definitely order from Swaledale, they're incredible and as an example, I placed my second order with them recently, which goes to show that despite sub par delivery, I can deal with it so I can get incredible products.”

“I expected my meat delivery to be early in the morning delivery or one of the first to be delivered. Unfortunately I was the last delivery at gone 6.30pm in the evening and my order was defrosted and a very wet soggy box was dumped hard against my door making a loud noise that disturbed me and my family as we thought someone had broken into the house...It was a very messy order we received that had to be carefully unpacked and refrozen...As the delivery company was situated in my village, I don't know why I had to wait from 10am before it had set off making deliveries to gone 6.30pm to have my meat delivered??!...i have yet to taste my order and hope it hasn't spoiled in anyway!!..i would have given 5 stars but your delivery company has spoiled my first order from Swaledale Butchers!😞”

Hi Peter, Thanks for getting in touch and submitting an honest review. I do apologise your order wasn’t made earlier in the day. One detail that is pertinent is that the contents of your order had not defrosted, we ship everything fresh - as such you can freeze any items as you wish with no concerns. Thanks again and best regards, Jorge

“Only 4 stars as we have only used one pack of beef mince but this was very very nice. I would like to say that using DPD couriers is a negative with us. Whatever delivery the couriers NEVER knock on the door ( and we are usually in) but leave it in the safe place. I was very annoyed that they did this with the meat delivery as we were in all day and didn’t discover it until I looked at my phone 30 minutes after it was delivered. Perhaps you can feed this back. Thank you”
