Why I buy from Tunstall Meat Company

The meat is always delivered on time in cool bags. The staff that I have met are friendly and helpful. I get my meat from TMC because I want to eat meat from livestock that have been 100% pasture fed, lead as natural life as possible and where animal welfare is a priority.

WOW!!!

I was recommended to visit TMC, so popped in this morning.
I was greeted by a very personable young man and explained that I was fed up with buying bacon that oozed water and white 'gunge', so would like to try their bacon, sausage and black pudding - I was NOT disappointed!!
The bacon WAS dry-cured and tasted like bacon used to as did the wonderful sausage and black pudding!!!
I was SO delighted that I had to phone TMC to tell them!!
Thank-you, I'll be back (as they say in the best films 😁)

Tunstall Meat Co are brilliant

Tunstall Meat Co are brilliant! We just had the most delicious butterflied lamb cooked on the bbq. It was excellent lamb with no fatty bits cut off and delicious. We are looking forward to the bbq box and found the quality and value to be excellent.

Excellent 10/10

Easy to order, prompt delivery and excellent quality food.
I was expecting prices to be dearer than supermarkets but they weren’t and quality far exceeded supermarket
Locally bred, pure meat, nothing added.

Amazing produce with very fast service…

Amazing produce with very fast service - I'm not the most organised of people and tend to put my orders in late on an evening, and it's normally delivered the next morning. Once you've eaten grass fed produce you'll never buy from the supermarket again, as the taste is sooooo much better. Ribeye steak is fab - so good you don't need a sauce as it tastes that good :-)

Meat hordes paradise

Have been ordering from TMC for a couple of months and I’m very impressed both by the quality and price.
The packaging has caused domestic issues in my household in that it’s too good! Instead of the supermarket bulky packaging, TMC comes vacuum packed meaning my husband can now horde loads of meat. I am no longer able to curb his meat obsession with statements like “there’s no more room in the freezer” because that’s now met with smugness. Rarely in all our years of marriage has he ever one upped me but thanks to TMC’s wonderful packaging, he has now done so and boy is he gloating!
Jokes aside, the meats really good and has a great variety. I recently messaged them because I couldn’t locate beef short ribs. They were quick to respond and were able to supply them with very easy instructions as to what to put them through as. Price wise, are they more expensive than supermarkets? Yes, but you get what you pay for. If you want chicken pumped full of water or beef joints pumped full of starch, sinew and gristle etc, so they can fool you into getting a bargain, you do you. If you want good quality meat which is actually very reasonably priced for what you get, then this company is for you.
Bonus is the picking of delivery dates.

We will continue to order from them and I recommend if you’re reading this, you give them a go!

Reply from TMC - Tunstall Meat Company

We have been sending fresh meat and frozen pies/sausage rolls for many years and our produce has always arrived at the correct temperature, something we pride ourselves on. Your order was despatched from us on 21st at 3.03pm and arrived the next day at 9.40am. With the sheeps wool insulation and 3 ice packs plus part of the order (pies) being shipped frozen, the temperature should not have altered much from when it was despatched. However, on delivery, the box may have been left in the sun or a warm place for a few hours and then unfortunately that is beyond our control (although with all the insulation this is rarely a problem either). The shelf life is more than what you get in most outlets selling fresh meat so we're sorry you felt this was a problem. We hope you will try us again and enjoy the experience more next time.
