About Meat in the Box

Written by the company

Fresh Meat Delivery

Get butcher quality meat at affordable prices, delivered to your door.

Fresh Meat

When we began our Meat in the Box journey, we soon decided that we wanted to provide a fresh meat delivery service. It just made the most sense to us and gives our customers the flexibility they deserve. It takes a little extra care and attention on our part but it’s definitely worth it to hear from our satisfied customers.

Certain items may be frozen due to availability, supply and demand, but we avoid this wherever possible.

Is Meat in the Box for me?

We set out to make ordering meat online as simple and as cost-effective as possible. So we initially decided on a ‘one box fits all’ approach. In short, we devised a broad selection of items that our customers can choose from to create their bespoke meat selection box. Like chicken? Then fill your box with all the poultry goodness we offer. Or if you’re a steak connoisseur, you can get your fix of British steak in your next order.

However, from customer feedback, even more flexibility was desired. That’s why we offer all of our products individually too.

Next Day Delivery

A key part of solving the meat delivery problem is ensuring that your items get to you as swiftly and as fresh as possible.

Therefore, we only provide a 24-hour courier service.

Stay Cool Packaging

Our specially designed packaging helps to regulate temperature so you can rest assured that your items are kept fresh for up to 48 hours. Each meat item is vacuum sealed for freshness, ideal for popping straight into the freezer!

In addition, our outer packaging and insulation are 100% recyclable.

Meat box

I love the meat hampers but now they've gone up in price twice by £10 a time in a year I'm struggling to pay for them, which is a shame as I love them but now at £70 getting a bit dear 😢😢.

Awaiting a reply from customer services… not great.

I have placed 2 orders from this website and the first arrived present and correct, no issues. My second order arrived and half of it was frozen, with one item clearly defrosting by the time it got to me and it stank. I emailed them, including photos but have had no reply. I will try to phone as other reviewers have stated they had to and see how they resolve this but sadly I won’t be ordering from them again. Don’t promise fresh meat and send it out frozen. I was unable to portion it out to freeze ready for meals meaning that the meat that hadn’t defrosted, most of it will go to waste when it is defrosted.

Large Christmas Turkey

Wow! I didn’t think that Meat in the Box could top the previous turkeys we had ordered, but I was wrong.
The service was excellent from order, to receipt of the bird, by courier. I was truly delighted with the quality of the meat.
The entire family agreed that it was the best they had tasted. I will definitely order again next year.
Thank you

The turkey supplied was not edible
I have placed orders over several years and we're ok but this year the turkey was really poor quality and extremely bad, I would think it maybe was imported as really bad and ended up in bin Christmas spoiled as had 8 People for dinner and no one touched the turkey

Mistakes Happen but how you resolve them is more better

So i had an order and was missing a lot, so I sent an email with photos. I didn't hear anything, left it till about 10 and gave them a call, pleasant on the phone, and they were currently going through the emails as I phoned them. Not resolved there and then, but I had to go back to work and had an email to phone them when possible, and the issue was resolved. Overall very pleasant experience even tho things went wrong a company is built on repect to the customer and when issues arise its how you resolve them that makes it worthwhile and why i will still order from them.

I've just finished my first box from this company and enjoyed it. I ordered ribeye steaks which were tender with a mild flavour. The steak strips were stir fried into rice and very tasty. The skin on chicken breasts were roasted with roast potatoes served with veg and chicken gravy and loverly and tasty and tender. Same as for the belly pork slices. Chicken mini fillets were tender and tasty stir fried with rice. The salt and pepper beef burgers had to much seasoning for my preference and overpowered the flavour of the meat. I will definatly be ordering again.
