Good quality meat
This company have good standard of meat quality and good packaging, everything arrives fresh and well packed, the only thing I would prefer if the mince meat, the beef and lamb mince was less minced, it looks too purred after cooking a bit like a chicken liver pate.
But apart from that, I like this company no issues at all.

Dear Sara,
Thank you for the kind words and the honest feedback!
Really glad everything arrives fresh and well packed. Your point about the mince texture is noted - we'll pass that on to our production team as it's useful to know. We want every product to be just right and feedback like yours helps us improve. Thank you for recommending us to friends and family!
Kind Regards,
Team Saffron Alley 🧡
I love the quality of meat AH
I love the quality of meat AH. However in this occasion one of the packets were not sealed properly making the juices leak out.
Also I was quite disappointed with the way the chicken was cut. Being the daughter of a butcher I am very particular about how this should be done - it felt really rushed and was messy.
But I do recommend you to family and friends and think they would all have the same opinion.

As the daughter of a butcher, your eye for quality cuts is sharp and we really appreciate the feedback. We're sorry to hear about the packaging seal and the chicken cutting - that's not the standard we want to deliver. We'll take this seriously and look into it. We hope the next order meets your high standards!

Dear Mrs Massood,
What a lovely review - slow cooked diced lamb leg turning into a tender, tasty curry sounds absolutely wonderful!
We're so happy the family enjoyed it and that they can now recognise the quality of Saffron Alley. That's one of the best compliments we could receive. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Very easy to order
Very easy to order, great communication and updates. Delivery was on time, straightforward and fuss-free. No EVRI parcels frisbeed in the direction of the house! All products were well packed and well presented. We are looking forward to enjoying the Palestinian dates and the Palestinian olive oil over the Christmas period. I’ve also gifted a bottle to my Mum as part of her Christmas hamper. I only hope that the Palestinian Farmers really benefit from my purchase and what % they receive would be a helpful marketing tool.

Supporting Palestinian farmers is something close to our hearts and your purchase genuinely does make a difference. Thank you for the kind gift idea too!

Overall good but I had to go to another road to pick up my order. Called DHL to find out but no one picked up. They sent me a photograph during work of a different address I had to go several streets to find which number 6 they delivered to after my shift finished. The overall delivery was sitting outside for 3 hours. Luckily no one stole the delivery.

Hi Ishtiaq,
Thank you for sharing this. We’re really sorry about the delivery experience; having to track down a parcel at a different address and finding it left outside is understandably frustrating.
Once an order is dispatched, the delivery is handled by the courier, but that doesn’t make this acceptable. We’ll be raising this feedback with DHL so this can be avoided going forward.
We’re glad the order was still there when you arrived, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. If you’d like us to look into this delivery in more detail, please feel free to reach out to us at info@saffronalley.com with your order ID.
Kind Regards,

Placed an order with Saffron Alley & my parcel was left out by DPD in the rain & at the wrong address.

Excellent products & amazing service, Allhumdulillah.

Dear Amin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your steak box. We sincerely apologise that the rump and fillet steaks did not meet the quality standards you expect from us; this is not the experience we want any Saffron Alley customer to have.
We have reached out to you privately to understand the details of what went wrong and to offer a full resolution.
Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously work to improve our quality control and product consistency. We are investigating this matter thoroughly with our facility team to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make this right.

My complaint was discussed by the company and they understood where they have gone wrong. I am happy with the outcome and definitely buy from Saffron Alley again
My experience with you was horrible, the picture you displayed was not beef feet and it was the picture l saw was what l ordered.
I am an African, if the picture you displayed was beef feet, l would have had a choice if it was what l wanted. Anyway like l said remove me from your list. I don’t want any communication with you

Would order again but some improvement's needed
Beef mince fantastic. Lamb mince very nice. Chicken drumsticks and breast good quality. However, all was not as fresh as I thought it would come- would have appreciated a bit more on the use by date. I didn’t have space to freeze everything so was pressured to cook it all within a few days which wasn’t helpful for an online order- it should last at least 5 days in the fridge? You have to order in bulk because it’s online so should have more time. Unfortunately I had to throw out the diced lamb and the chicken liver- they didn’t last until the stated use by date and smelt off when I tried to cook them a day before the use by date. Also chicken liver was packed messy- leaking juices because bag wasn’t sealed properly. Wasn’t impressed with that because we’re paying a bit more than the local butchers for these standards. I would order again but hope you can rectify these things.

Chicken breast was nice but chicken carcass
Chicken breast was nice but chicken bones were all thigh bones when the picture was of a carcass so I didn’t at all get what I bought. Lean lamb mince very expensive and quite fatty tasting.
