Absolutely fabulous meat. I bought pork shoulder, for pulled pork, gourmet burgers and cumberland sausage, for our coronation BBQ. Can't wait to try to my sirloin joint & fillet steak. Delivered in a... See more
Accurate delivery times. Good prices. Decent quality. Silverside and sirloins were lovely. Bacon has a fair bit of water content when frying, but grilled or air fried solved that issue.
Despite picking a delivery date 5 days in advanced the order didn’t arrive. Tried emailing no response, tried calling automated message. Tried Facebook no response. Didn’t get order til 5 days later.... See more

Short notice cancelation
Disappointed about the short notice of having my Christmas order cancelled. It was due for delivery on Thurs 22 Dec so checked my email today (21 Dec) to make sure that everything was good. No email for today so looked further back in my inbox to discover an email on Monday notifying me of the cancelation. While I understand the reasons why (knock on effect of Royal Mail strike) it still leaves me with a big problem.
We have had excellent service from GBM Co for many years and this won't put me off using them in future. This problem is a reflection on how this country is going to the dogs thanks to decisions taken by our wonderful Government.
I hope that I can find a forerib of beef on the bone locally to replace the one that I'd ordered. Frankly I can't stand turkey and was looking forward to doing as I usual do on Christmas day, cooking the beef on my Weber Master Touch charcoal BBQ. Fingers crossed!
Unrivalled
Quality of meat, profession staff.... Best supplier we have ever used.
Would never use anybody else

Christmas order cancelled just a couple of days before delivery due. Disappointed. Last year order was missing items. Not 100% reliable.
Disappointed!
I’ve used Great British Meat company on several occasions, my Christmas meat hamper was cancelled yesterday and while I appreciate they had to come to this decision, I now have limited time and funds to source meat for Xmas, refund states it could take around 5 days so I’m pretty stuffed, no meat, no cash!
Cancelled order 10 days before…
Cancelled order 10 days before Christmas blaming 1st stock shortage and then Royal Mail / courrier service. Fortunately found another company who could fulfill order without any excuses.
Will not use again
Brilliant company
Brilliant company. Great communication and always a fantastic meat for any occasion.
Had my order cancelled today
Had my order cancelled today, am I severely annoyed about it, yes as I was seriously looking forward to the Christmas dinner. This isn’t GBM’s fault, I will not be leaving them at all, their decision to cancel the orders and not dice it, is excellent. I’d rather not get it and have time to sort something local instead of it being late and I find out it’s all warm and oh no, nothing for Christmas dinner. This is all a Royal Mail fiasco, anybody complaining and giving a 1 star, get a reality check as unfortunately isolated things like this happen but it sure doesn’t represent the excellence I have always got from GBM.

Poor Service
Email send out Christmas week informing no longer able to deliver Christmas meat when ordered months ago. I understand that there are delivery pressures but a few days notice is terrible when most butchers order books are now closed.

Cancelled the Christmas food order the week of Christmas, leaving no time to find replacements as everyone is out of stock.

Cancelled my Christmas order 3 days before delivery and said it will take 3 -5 working days for a refund. Whilst I get that it was a problem with dpd and out of their hands, they knew about the problem a while ago and could have given more notice.

Let down with delivery and cancelled orderd for Christmas.

My order was cancelled a week before…
My order was cancelled a week before Christmas, making it very difficult to arrange an alternative. They’re saying it’s a postal issue, but they must surely have been able to find an alternative?
Cancelled my order
Cancelled my order. Now I have to scour suppliers in the last week before Christmas. I just didn’t need this stress.
They cancelled my order
They cancelled my order the weekend before Christmas, not helpful when all the beef and Turkey seems to be sold out. However, I went to another online butcher I use that day, ordered the meat and had it within two days. It is now sitting in the freezer waiting for the big day.
Interestingly they use the same delivery people and seemed to have no issues getting my meat delivered in two days. Go figure.
Fine meat good price excellent…
Fine meat good price excellent products. I will be recommending you to all my family and friends.
Postal Strikes
Unable to deliver order due to postal issues. Given enough time to resolve issue hence why 5 stars. History of orders suggests this would have been excellent value and quality as in previous years.
