“Arrived on time. First I had some flat iron steaks which I really enjoyed. Then I had a couple of sirloins (I only eat animal based food so have two steaks most meals) the sirloins were disappointing due to having very little 'body! To the meat and seemed to lack flavour. Today I had a couple of ribeyes which had a good body and texture . So overall positive except for the sirloins I received. Thanks”

“Meat was forst class, however the box was left outside my door in the sunlight by the courier and all the ice packs has defrosted when I opened it. No note, no ring of the door bell!! Not happy about this.”

“I was very satisfied with the whole process and the items received, except I was not allowed to order 4 packs of lamb shanks, which I needed, so I had to order only 3 packs due to demand I believe.”

“Excelent quality and service”

“I have been a Swaledale customer for some time and have been, in the main, very happy with the quality of beef, lamb, pork and chicken supplied; however, the past two deliveries of sirloin steak have had a much higher fat content than usual which was a little disappointing. To be fair, when I raised this issue with Swaledale on the first occurrence they promptly issued a refund but I do feel more stringent quality control would eliminate this issue.”

“Excellent meat. I just wish the minimum order value were a little less and then I would buy more frequently. I don't buy meet of Swaledale Butchers' quality in order to freeze it!”

“Excellent mutton chops and steak, although the mutton could have been hung a little longer for my taste.”

“Quality, timing and information very good. Not cheap, but quality is high. Parcels have several times been left at the wrong house, but kind neighbours ensured we got them.”

“Lamb Chops were excellent , flavoursome and tender . Pork loin was also delicious, although after 90 minutes cooking we had to seperate the rind from the meat to get it to crackle .”

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Achieving crackling on a chop is unlike a joint - we would highly recommend scoring the skin at approximately 2cm intervals and cooking at a moderate heat skin side down - full instructions at the bottom of the product page here https://swaledale.co.uk/products/pork-loin-chops This technique will achieve crackling without overcooking the chop. Thanks again and best regards, Jorge

“Great quality meat just a shame it’s a high monetary value to place an order”

“All the meats we’ve tried have been super tasty and of great quality, the only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is some of the individual meat packaging wasn’t up to the standards I had hoped, some vac packed bags must’ve been damaged as there was air in them so not vac packed properly while some were so that wasn’t great. Definitely willing to give them another go though & would recommend!”

“Meat was delivered on time. Well packed and tasted fantastic. Only downside was the amount of hard fat. I dont cook with thick fat caps and by the time the excess fat was removed the joint went from 1.4kg to 900 grams otherwise very much enjoyed.”
