Our mail order meat service delivers to the majority of UK mainland addresses* using our external couriers at DPD. Deliveries can be tracked and re-arranged with a text message update service, and each delivery will receive a 1 hour window of arrival so long as a mobile number or email address is provided.
As part of our service, we cut each order individually and vacuum pack them for delivery. We’ve found that vacuum packing is by far the best way to make sure that your freshly cut meat arrives to you in perfect condition, but if you’d rather have your meat wrapped in butcher’s paper, can do that – just let us know in the special requests box.
Please note that with single cuts such as steaks, advertised weights can be + or - 5%.

Simply choose your cuts, add on any extras like gravies or rubs if you wish, select a delivery slot and await your meat.
Our cut off time for Next Day Delivery is 12pm.
If you can’t select your ideal slot for delivery, that means that we’ve reached capacity, so please choose another. Please remember, though, that we plan deliveries daily, so no matter when you book your delivery we’ll always hand-cut it freshly on the day of dispatch.

MEAT STORAGE
We always want to make sure that you get the best from your meat, whether freezing or storing within the fridge. Follow our handy tips guide to be certain you’re storing your meat correctly and safely before it’s cooked.
All of your meat should be delivered with individual use-by dates on the packaging, but no matter what cut be sure to always follow these base tips:
- Unless vacuum-packed, when you get your meat home take it out of the bag and wrapping. If left inside the meat will sweat, meaning that bacteria growth is much easier.
- Place the meat on a plate, uncovered, at the bottom of the fridge. If your products are vacuum-packed then leave them within the packaging in the same place. Not only does this help the air ventilate around the raw meat, but you’ll find that the bottom of the fridge is the coldest place. If you’re running out of space, a Tupperware container with the lid on is the next best thing.
- Keep meat, particularly chicken, away from any other food. It’s best to give yourself a whole shelf in the fridge just to store raw meat.
- Don’t overfill your fridge, as this can lead to inconsistent temperatures.
- If you’re going to freeze the meat, do it on the day of purchase. If your cuts are vacuum packed, do not open them – this is an ideal condition for freezing. If the meat is in butcher’s paper, remove all packaging, pat the meat dry and place each cut separately within a bag with as little air as possible. Use within 3 months
- To defrost, remove the meat from the freezer 24 hours before use, and take out, placing in the coldest part of your kitchen 1-2 hours before use.
USE-BY-DATES
As we vacuum pack all of our products, you will have 7 days from the packing date within which to use the meat. All vacuum packed products are issued with a use-by.
Unless stated otherwise, the use-by-dates for paper wrapped products are as follows:
- Beef, Lamb and Pork cuts: 4 days
- Chicken, sausages, burgers and mince: 3 days
