“I have always been impressed with the quality of the meat for which I would give 5 stars but the minimum order value is pretty high well actually very high. I would purchase a lot more product if it was say £50.”

“Great quality produce but support not the best if something goes wrong. Not a huge criticism, I know you’ve a small team. Maybe I was just unfortunate, but my experience wasn’t great. I wanted three lamb breasts cause I had a big group of people coming round. I ordered three my basket defaulted to one so I ended up with the third of the lamb I wanted and I needed to go and source more lamb elsewhere. Your min order is not small, totally understandable, but when something like this goes wrong it will be great if it could be rectified rather than “sorry you order already been placed, suck it up”. That type of computer says no mentality to Customer Services very frustrating. still I do appreciate waving the delivery fee which I think was most fair.”

“The meat and packaging is always of very good quality. A real Cumberland sausage is as rare as hen's teeth these days!. It would be better is the delivery people actually knocked on teh door instead of just leaving the package on the doorstep in high temperatures. Just as well you put plenty of ice bombs i!”

“I had a problem : a birthday present. Problem solved with a BBQ box from Swaledale of top quality meat which was enthusiastically received. Problem solved!”

“First order butterfly lamb and a large chicken. The service was great, arrived on time and both the Lamb and Chicken vacuum sealed and tasted sensational on the BBQ. My only gripe the cost is in my personal view top end so will be more special occasion than regular but certainly a first class service.”

“This is the second time I’ve used Swaledale, as my regular butcher has closed down. All the food I bought from them is very good and fresh. The reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because the packaging was terrible. Obviously they started off packing it well, but by the time it got to me, the box it was in had fallen apart and opened! If anything had fallen out in the delivery van, the driver wouldn’t have bothered to check because it’s not their job and they wouldn’t really care. The box was too weak for my order and the tape Swaledale uses couldn’t hold its stick. That’s the only downside. Please use a stronger box or at least stronger tape and it would be a 5 star for sure. I would definitely recommend them.”

“Probably the best burgers I have ever had, they need plenty of seasoning and quickly cooking on a high heat which leaves a crisp outside and juicy inside, delicious!!!”

“Enjoyed all the cuts but the wild garlic sausages were way too salty. Couldn't taste the garlic as a result”

“As a company they are excellent...BUT the choice of delivery service should be reviewed. As I believe at the costs that I pay, I spend way too much money for my food to be left on the ground floor of a communal building, right next to the lift & mark it as delivered. My food has been stolen before left like that I would think fir £350 it would be delivered to my front door. I had to ask a stranger to help me as I have musculoskeletal problems.”

“The centre cut of fillet beef was tender and delicious, but sadly one end was very narrow so there were only three good portions.”

“This was my first order for Ox Cheeks as my normal butcher had run out. The online ordering service was simple to use and the goods were dispatched the same day and delivery was on time. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the ox cheeks were well packaged but had a large sinew on the one side. My normal butcher would have trimmed this off but then these were slightly more competiviely priced. I would buy again but be prepared to do some basic knife work yourself.”

“When ordering multible items such as 4 packs of Lambs liver - only 2 packs contained dark lambs liver. The other 2 packs contained much lighter colour liver. I think it was from a much older lamb . 😲 It was off putting. The order of 3 Lambs hearts, 2 where normal size and the third was twice as big. Come on.”
