Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 241 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the exceptional quality, superior flavor, and delicious taste of the meat compared to standard supermarket options. People also appreciate the sustainable farming practices, excellent customer communication, and secure, well-insulated packaging that keeps everything safely chilled. However, some people mentioned occasional delivery delays or couriers leaving parcels outside the front door without proper knocking or notice. A few reviewers also noted receiving orders a bit late, finding warm packaging during hot weather, or experiencing occasional issues with missing items. These delivery challenges show that transit times can occasionally vary depending on the courier service used.

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.

The flavour & texture of their meat is…

The flavour & texture of their meat is so good & customer service excellent. They ran out of one of the small items in my delivery & so called to let me know. This is really important when you’re relying on ingredients for a specific recipe.

Happy returning customer!

We’ve ordered several times from Ethical Butcher over the past few years. The packaging is always great, the meat is fantastic, and it’s a great way to stock up the freezer and try out some more unusual cuts. We’ve never had a bad batch and the flavour is fantastic!

Beautifully tender

I have only used one pack from my first order - cubed lamb pieces - but the meat was superb. No water at all was given off when I browned it before adding to the stew vegetables. I look forward to trying the osso bucco and minced lamb.

A great find.

This was my first order. It was very easy to place the order a couple of weeks in advance. I’m please to say my order arrived on time, was safely and well packed and arrived chilled.
The quality of the meat excellent. I would highly recommend.

Thank you for my beautiful package…

Thank you for my beautiful package which arrived when I was told it would. The contents were acceptably cold and securely packaged.
Your minced beef is the most delicious I have ever tasted.
I have not yet tried the other items but they look wonderful and I look forward to enjoying them.
