    Could do with a little more details.

    • What Ingredents are in the box
    • What do they weight
    • How much do they cost
    • How long as it got to last for
    • How many has it got to feed
    • Is the meat only for main meals or will some be needed for lunch {sandwich fillings}.

    That seems really good value {might order one myself}.

    The pork steaks i would give 2 each so thats one meal.
    The steak would last two meals {one each}
    Four chicken breasts would last two meals {one each}, could even make it strech longer if you use it in a stew or curry.
    The gammon steaks two meals {one each}
    The mince you could strech to make two meals
    The sausage could make either one or two meals {2 sausages each or four}, if you make say a toad in the hole or a sausage cassorole 2 each would be plenty
    the chicken could last anything from one to four meals depending how you use it.

    So in theory it could make up to a fornights meals.

    Its not too bad on price but still hefty ,

    Don't forget the £7.99 delivery charge.
  • I ordered a meat box and some other items from Clairebarry.co.uk, it arrived today and we have tried the bacon and homemade sausages, both were delicious:D

    Its free dleivery at the moment too, meat seems to be ethically sourced!

  • if you do a search you'll find a couple of threads discussing meat boxes. I get one from the Well Hung Meat Company that I'm very happy with
  • I've used Stilton for ages, they are really good. Have a look at the chicken breasts offer too its a HUGE pack & lasts for ages.
