Ive been buying all my meat from the ethical butcher for 3 years now and there is no way im ever going back. Since shopping from here ive noticed how much water supermarket meat lets out. The flavour... See more

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

Top quality meats from farmers who care

I love buying produxe from the Ethical Butcher. In times when there are so many unknowns within what we est it is a relief to know that meat can be sourced from farms who care as much about the product as they do rhe land from which it comes. Beautiful tasting meat, I won't be going back to supermarket produce now I've tasted this

Excellent service Beautiful produce.

Excellent service, timely delivery but most of all great quality meat. I am not a meat eater but my family are. It’s really important to us that the meat we purchase is indeed ethical with the very best farming practices being used. Not only free range but being allowed to freely roam is extremely important and my family report the meat is delicious. The beef joints are second to none. Well done ethical butchers - recommended.

Great meat and eco friendly packaging

Packaging was all recyclable, wool to help keep it cold. How wonderful not to see any polystyrene! And then of course the meat, absolutely fantastic. My first order of bacon, chicken legs and rib of beef. It was all delicious, looking forward to my next order

By far the best meat we've bought

By far the best meat we've bought. The steaks and the beef were just superb and so much of it that we're still enjoying it weeks and weeks later. Would highly recommend. Well worth the little bit extra for good quality, ethical meat.

Excellent quality beef !

They send the wrong order initially due to a mix up with the butcher, but very quickly corrected it and sent two replacement items. Great quality meat and reassuring to know it has no nonsense added and that the cows were grass fed and “natural”. I had a scare with colon cancer and now am extremely careful with what I eat. The meat is more expensive than what you find in the supermarket, but it’s worth it in my opinion. I’d rather eat very healthily than pay the price in later years with poor healthy and medical bills !

Love the planet, love your belly.

When i placed my order i asked for it to be delivered in December for some strange reason. When I didn't receive my order after a week or so of ordering it, I contacted the company who highlighted my mistake. They changed the date and I got my meat a few days later. No fuss, no extra charges just friendly and professional. THANK YOU.
Right, about the meat.
You will notice a hugh difference in the taste. My partner does not like the sausages or bacon, he finds the taste to strong. But he does enjoy the cuts of meat very much and comments that the lamb is lamber and the beef is beefer.
I grow my own veg and he didn't like the carrotts to start but now loves them and dislikes bought carrotts. For me, I LOVE all of it. It tastes as it should. I can certainly tell how much our food is messed about with.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fields being fields and not chemical soup. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the animals enjoying a stress free, happy, natural, long life as apposed to ........ awfull.
I don't buy from any butcher, if iv no ethical meat in, I go veggie

Delicious and nutritious.

The ordering process was relatively straightforward and painless with a wide range of products. After ordering the order is packaged and shipped to you with an update along the way. Most of all the products are delicious and nutritious.
