“Not sampled any of the cuts of meat I ordered, but i am sure i will not be disappointed. Service and delivery first class. i will be ordering more from Swaledale in the future. Would have been a five out of five score, but lost a mark for ASKING FOR FEEDBACK, everybody is doing it now and it gets tiresome !”

“I bought Lamb koftas, braising steak and the steak burgers, 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all. Sadly I missed the 'you must season the burgers' so own that issue myself but the texture of the burgers once bbq'd was not great, such a shame as this butchers is amazing just let down by perhaps a bad batch?”

“Bought meat online this Christmas for the first time ever.I'm 65 yrs old and grew up in the retail meat business in Liverpool so know one end of a pig from the other.I live in rural North wales and have lots of very good traditional butchers locally but was looking for a new Xmas centrepiece for the table after being a bit underwhelmed by local beef recently.I saw the 2.8 kgporcetta on the website and thought that looks tasty😋and ordered it with some short beef ribs for a beef and onion pie. We had 12 for Xmas dinner and roasted our usual local turkey boneless crown which is the thing every comments on and this year the porcettaalong side it. The porcetta was a perfect pork Xmas centre piece absolutely stole the show everyone raved about it . One word ....forget all the fancy porcetta recipes online like fallow etc just cook it like a traditional joint in a high oven to temperature and give it 30 mins to rest. Sous vide the beef ribs and made new year pie .....stunning ! Thanks swaledale you've convinced me online butchery can delivery the goods . I'll definitely be back during the year for some special treats and trying your selection of beasts x”

“Turkey was delicious and delivery was on time and the turkey was chilled properly. However when I order a turkey that should weigh between 5 and 6 kilos I do not expect it to weigh 4.91kg. I know it is only a small difference but when you pay a premium price for the turkey I did expect it to weigh 5kgs at the very least.”

“The turkey was delicious - but the delivery was disappointing. One of the reasons for buying from you was that you were local, but the turkey went down to Hinckley before coming back to Yorkshire, and it was delivered on 21st (at around 6.30pm) rather than the expected 20th (I’ve got screenshots). Presumably it spent over 24 hours in transit. I have an order due to be delivered on 31st and can only hope that it’s delivered on that date.”

“Overall it’s a very good service and online butchers. I’d say they are behind the curve in not phasing out Prague Powder/ sodium Nitrites. And if thy did I think they’d find the market other product expanded. Until they do the processed meat we will only use for very rare occasions given its widely known health issues.”

“Chicken livers tasted very weird, in fact they didn't really taste of anything. Very disappointed, think I'm going to have to throw them away. Otherwise, all other items are fabulous.”

“Great website with recipes and ordering meat was easy. Good communication about parcel delivery. However, the delivery driver did not knock our door, and left the parcel on the pavement outside our house. Luckily I was in the front room to see this, so was able to pick this up. Previously, we have experienced items left in this way have been stolen.”

“Very fresh game, great packaging and delivery. Some feathers may remain, and sometimes a little blood remains outside of the vacuum packaging. But other than those minor things, would recommend for the great meat quality.”

“Our order arrived promptly, very well packaged and beautfully chilled. The faggots were delicious and we are looking forward to enjoying all the other delights we received. One item missing from the delivery but a rapid refund was made, so we'll be back for more before too long.”
