I give you 5 stars for your meat but your website and app are very frustrating to say the least. No order I place is straightforward. I lose orders placed and have to start again. I have to keep go... See more

So I got sent out one particular pack of meat that was below the usual standard so reached out to inform the butcher and was refunded for that item. I have to say customer service seems to be a prio... See more

Putrid smelling beef fillets

Putrid smelling beef fillets. Will never shop with them again as this is the second time I've bought beef fillet from them that smelled really bad when removing from packaging. I thought the first time was a one off and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but the second time, exactly the same, stank to high heaven. Fell for sales talk to buy two as well with the second purchase. £100 down the drain. Just taken the second one out of my freezer, exactly the same, it is off and gone in the bin.

Bit of a disaster

Bit of a disaster. One of the deals was incorrect and I was over charged. I was told correct item would be delivered the following morning so stayed at home especially but no delivery. I rang and was promised it would be there by 2 so stayed in again and eventually arrived at 3. Wasted a lot of valuable time simply because no one to pick up the phone and keep me posted on what was going on. Not happy

Twice failed delivery and terrible communications

First delivery didn’t arrive on agreed date, no tracking no communication- no phone number to help, waited three days for response to my second email.
They asked me to wait for two weeks time which I did, again no tracking and no actual delivery. They did manage to send me a survey for the non existent delivery!

Now after waiting again and sending two emails they suggested may send after Easter!
Sorry too late, they don’t seem set up as a delivery company so I would avoid

Reply from The Butcher of Brogdale

Hi Pete,

Many thanks for your review, as we had explained in our very first email to you, Nationwide delivery was very new to us and on our first batch of orders sent out we had a number which were involved in an incident with DPD which meant they were condemned, I’m sure you can appreciate that we were not willing to send out more with this company without any assurance that this wouldn’t happen again. So we are in the process of getting set up with another provider but cannot give a guaranteed date this will be up and running. We currently run a fleet of 6 vans delivering 700+ orders a week across Kent and south east London so we certainly have the set up to cater for this just don’t want to be letting customers down with poor delivery service at no fault of our own.

Many thanks

Great prices- awful customer service

Overall the products and prices are good and the delivery chaps always polite.
Unfortunately we often judge a company on how they work when something isn’t right and these guys are terrible. They do not answer emails, online chats or phones in the meanwhile I have some very ‘off’ pork to deal with .

Finally got a response from their Canterbury shop who doesn’t deal with online orders at all but sorted it out for me. Great work from him but shame about the online team .
As an update to this I was promised a refund for the product …. And guess what? Yep they have not refunded at all so I now need to chase up again.
So to be clear … I have used BoB for many years but they clearly care very little for their customers so this will be the last time .

Update: they finally contacted to apologise for lack of communication and to reassure that a refund would be made …. That was two weeks ago and surprise surprise no refund .

Update: chased again and 'promised' refund and surprise surprise no refund provided. What an embarassment.

Unpleasant ribeye.

Bought some sirloin steak, ribeye and chicken packs. First time purchasing from brogdales. Chicken and sirloin ok but the ribeye had a peculiar and highly unpleasant taste. Both my wife and I couldn't eat them because of this taste. Had a few ribeyes (good and bad) in my time but never tasted like this. Think first time I left one after one piece. Sadly will not use brogdales again.
