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.

The meat is such high quality that you wonder why you ever bought from anywhere else. The customer service is also excellent.

All good

Service was good, as usual. I really like slow cooking cuts of meat and the occasional promotions for carcass balancing are particularly good value. The quality of the meat really does make a big difference!

Great product, crap delivery

The meat and the ethics are great, I was so happy to find this company, it’s great quality let down from terrible packaging/delivery. My meat was regularly arriving warm and spoiled. Customer service is not great, a bit dismissive. I can’t afford to waste meat, money- animals lives so have cancelled our regular (big) order

The chicken I ordered was absolutely delicious, the only small downside is the chicken is fed corn, if it wasn't Id give 6 stars if I could (although id rather a bit of corn instead of soy, growth hormones and antibiotics, thanks I shall be ordering again shortly.

Great quality steaks

Great quality steaks, unfortunately they arrived 2 weeks early. My previous order was excellent quality and service so hopefully this was a one-off problem.

Meat is quality and tasty

Meat is quality and tasty. Unfortunately one part of my order was missing. It was delivered a few days later without quibbles but obviously it's better to get all the order when expected.

Very good quality products

Very good quality products. Fast delivery. I've been ordering for over a year and have never been disappointed. Prices are high compared to supermarkets, but it's worth it.
