Cure & Simple Reviews 

Tried my first Cure and Simple (bacon by post) smokey streaked bacon at the weekend! I ordered it on Thursday and it arrived through my letterbox on Friday. Saturday's family mid morning bacon sarnie was to die for. The difference between supermarket bacon and traditionally cured bacon was incredible. Never going back. Also, as a quirky perk, if you own a dog and are worried they will munch it before you get home, you can request an dog repellent to be added to packaging. Really happy, cant wait for my next pack.

Good bacon but shocking customer service, the site is awful to use, tried to call the number but just got an answering machine saying no one was on site, bizzare,,,,,,,
had correspondence with someone called Jess via email
Very blunt and unhelpful in the end and told me they actually cancelled my account (after i expressed my frustrations) and if i wanted anything else, just order one offs,
certainly would not recommend.
look for somewhere local to you and support local farmers in your own area,

Took money never delivered on the day stated sent many emails just ignored

I first used this company about 3/4 years ago. They were excellent and bacon was fabulous and always arrived on time. However past year has not been ba good experience.On a few occassions bacon did not arrive and has taken 2/3 attempts to get it delivered . Problems ordering on website, card nor accepted,nothing wrong with card,ordered 2 packs about 8 days ago after card problems again, never arrived..Today 1 pack arrived not 2 that I ordered. Bacon also smaller in size. Will not be ordering again. Really sad as it was a good company but gone downhill.

This company really sucks. Huge IT problems on its website. Numerous repetitive issues of cards incorrectly billed and product sent to the incorrect address on multiple occasions. Not worth the headache. Avoid at all costs. Ridiculous customer support.

Really great service, particularly during lockdown - tasty bacon delivered through your letterbox, what more could you ask for!

We have now tried several different types of bacon , all has been delicious , I order because the pigs are well looked after and live outside .. that is important to me and you can taste the difference for sure , plus today had the black treacle cured smoked bacon for breakfast , ordered one day and arrived the next day .. super service and a real treat .

Not used your service for a while and cancelled it some years back. BUT today I have a pending transaction of £1 coming out of my account. The amount might not be a lot. But if they do this to multiple clients this adds up to a nice little amount. My bank have blocked them from taking any future payments. Pretty disgusting for a company to do this. No excuse that they still have my details on there system and taking out money.

Update. They have informed me it’s “ test is run to ensure your details are still valid should you wish to make any future purchases. ”. They have deleted my details. And should I want to make further purchases I will give them my details. But I did receive a polite email explaining and consider it closed.

Their bacon is excellent! I see too many bad reviews here, which I don't think are fair. They charge you one pound when you sign up but they refund you soon after. This happens to ensure you have provided correct bank details.
I signed up at the beginning of the lockdown, and the bacon took about a week to arrive. Nonetheless, it was in good condition and still edible although it was outside the fridge for a week. If you read the information on the website, you will understand that this particular bacon is safe to keep outside the fridge for a few days, because of the way it has been cured.
Now we get our bacon in 2-3 days, and this is all due to Post Office delays and it is not the fault of the company. Still, it is in perfect condition and yummy! Really good quality bacon and definitely worth the extra pounds. I would highly recommend.

this was purchased for me as a present, does not arrive in adequate packaging for the amount of time in transit (i received the un smoked version and it was not refrigerated during postage unlike other fresh products i receive )

customer service is abscent most of the time and replys are very slow and unhelpful

the bacon was also very hard, it did have a different taste to it, but i wouldn't say it was pleasent either just vey sweet

overall, stay clear and shop at a local butchers for a better overall experiance in everyway

Simply fantastic bacon with a great range to suit all tastes - and all their other products are brilliant too. This company really cares about its products and its customers. No going back for me. It is Cure or Simple or nothing.

I ordered a couple of years ago, but not regularly. With lockdown, I thought I would try again, and ordered two packets of the smoked pancetta style bacon

I queried the arrival of it, as it did not quite arrive when expected. I got a prompt response, apologising, and confirming two more packets had been sent. I did ultimately receive both sets, so no complaints with the service at all. It is very good.

The bacon, however is Ok, but nothing special, and lacked the ‘smoky’ flavour. You don’t straight away think it is so much better than a supermarket, and if I tasted it without knowing where it came from, I’d been none the wiser. It is nice, but not a stand out. It does shrink more than expected, though, given the water has been removed, or rather not added.

I may use again, due to convenience and service, and as there is still poorer out there. It is nothing exceptional though. The choice seems also to be less than I remember, and their other products to see exceptionally high priced, though I cannot comment on quality.

EDIT - as I go through my bacon, I am afraid, I am more underwhelmed. Cannot complain too much, given I got four packs for the price of two. Unlikely I will be ordering at ful price again, though. Sorry C&S.

The quality of the bacon started out good however the last few deliveries have all been cut badly and are inconsistent.

It's a real shame and I'm considering cancelling if this doesn't improve soon

Have not used this site for a long time after they charged me full price for a promotion the bacon was shocking. Now I look at my bank and I have a pending transaction why would a company use my bank card when I've had no contact with them for months.

I saw the Ad on FB for this bacon,it looked genuine old fashioned thick bacon what i got was paper thin and i`m very disappointed

I tried the bacon but it was tasteless and not a great texture. A second payment was taken from my account but nothing has been received so I’ve cancelled my plan online. Meat being in an envelope for a number of days really isn’t going to work.

To be fair, my package was sent almost promptly, despite Covid-19; despite all the other reviewers' experiences noted here.
But my problem is that the bacon is BAD. It looks, feels, and tastes like plastic. It would be beaten in a blind taste test by even the cheapest Lidl bacon. I had two slices and threw the rest of the pack away. I dread to think what their steak is like!

None of our orders have been delivered. I phone today about 5 minutes ago (4.45pm) as this was third delivery that has not gotten to us. No address issue on the account. We have now been charged twice and after speaking with someone mid-last week, we were supposed to get a replacement delivery on Saturday. Nothing has shown up. I wrote about this in a blog post recommending people to sign up and I will rescind that as of this week and remove them from my post. This is absolutely despicable and I hope I do not continue to get charged. I will be sharing this on my blog and hope that they realise their actions are completely wrong and they should be either delivering or not charging me and letting me know why. I hope I do not continue to get charged, I cannot afford these ridiculous payments to get nothing back.

UPDATE: They emailed me and said they would issue a full refund. I am waiting for the refund to come through.

Haven't used in over a year and all of a sudden i have a charge on card. Not happy with this and sure this breaches some policy.
I will be contacting them if they ever respond.

Update:
I have been told that it isn't a charge but an authentication test performed by their merchant service provider. However they said it is done every 12 months but I can't see one for last year still kinda suspicious.

I have just been informed by my bank that this company has fraudulently tried to charge my card, over 2 years after my subscription with them was cancelled. I will be looking into whether the fact that they still hold my card details breaches GDPR but I strongly advise using extreme caution when considering any dealings with this company. Absolutely disgraceful.
