Written by the company

GREAT FARMERS
We're proud to source our meat from local farms, cattle markets and abattoirs near to us in North East England. Hard working independent farmers, who know and respect their animals and every inch of their farm. By trading this way we cut out middlemen and pay a better price for quality, that is fairer on the farmer and the customer.
GREAT BUTCHERS
All our meat is hand-cut to order by the GBMC butchery team at our meaty HQ. Our Master Butcher is a stickler for quality, buying choice meat and maturing it until it's just right in our ageing room. Whether it's cutting, dicing or slicing, we make sure it's as tasty as can be, and that's why our meat is cut to order the day before it arrives with you.
GREAT MEAT
We use food grade temperature controlled packaging to ensure your meat arrives nice and chilled, within 24 hours of leaving our fridge. Consistently tested by our technical team, we are confident it is the safest way possible to send meat to you. Now with one-hour delivery slots.

Never again

The delivery was disappointing. The box was left outside even though I was home, and no one rang the bell.

The meat was also poor quality. The 2.5kg chicken was smelly (like when it is old) and the mince steak was very fatty. It didn’t look at all like the 5% fat content stated on their website. I’ll never buy from them again.

Meat good, packaging poor, price increase substantial

Meat quality was very good as before, unfortunately this is the second time running that the burgers, and chops had come out of their packets, again we managed to reshape the burgers, and the chops seem to be okay. Basic poor packaging issue that could be avoided if the delicate items were contained with adequate packaging inside of the box stopping them from moving around. Considering they are transported in vans, and HGV vehicles across the country you would expect more care to be taken. Also there has been a substantial price increase, so although I am usually very loyal to my suppliers it may be time to shop around!

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Shocking!! The quality of meat sent by Great British Meat was disgustingly. Rump Steaks were like shoe leather and chewy and I know how to cook steaks properly. The bacon was more watery than cheap store bought bacon and it stank, the chicken is average at best but I could’ve got the same thing from Tesco so not worth the price tag.
I will never buy from here again and I’m so angry I spent over £100 for such poor quality meat.

Delivered late in the day and left on doorstep

I placed an order of what was good quality meat for a good price, the food was ordered mid week to come Saturday (the day of bbq) looking online it all said it would come before lunch time so was not worried, the food did not come till gone 7pm and no one knocked, this food was left on the doorstep for hours which resulted in being not edible due to the heat. Very disappointed. I have 2 as the price is amazing but the fact it come so late in the day and was not notified of this was awful
