The most important thing for me was that the pork is stunned electrically before killing rather than the cruel way most suppliers use. The Ethical Butcher replied to my query quickly with reassurances... See more

Lamb box

Lamb box. Delivery was delayed but I was kept up to date and it wasn't a problem for me .
We had the lamb shoulder for Sunday dinner which was really tender and delicious. Enough left for a curry the next night.

I have had orders a few times before…

I have had orders a few times before and been very impressed with the service and quality of the meat .
I received the Easter Box on time and the meat looks great and a lot of items for the money , however I have only had the boned lamb leg up to now and felt disappointed with it, it was quite tough and didn’t have a lot of flavour.

Very happy

Very happy with the Ethical Butcher, ticks all the moral value boxes and I feel more comfortable eating meat that's been treated humanely. The chicken actually tastes like chicken. Instantly noticed a difference in taste and texture, won't touch supermarket chicken again.

As a Naturopathic Chef, this was an easy choice

I’m a Naturopathic Chef and so am selective on the produce I use for my events and supper clubs. Naturally The Ethical Butcher was my go to when ordering meat for a recent event and it did not disappoint, great service, seamless delivery and the guests all said how delicious it was. Top stuff.

This beef fillet was a gift for someone. Waited for their feed back (though did not really have any doubt). They were very impressed with quality and flavour. I would have no qualms recommending The Ethical Butcher.
