Online Butchers

Can anyone recommend a company like Riverford? Is it a cost saving way of purchasing meat?

OH and I would prefer where we can to get meat from a butcher, but have none local to us so wanted opinions on the web based ones. There are only 2 of us and as the meat will be better quality it goes further so we will need to eat less of it making it go further.

Morning bramble
I use Donald Russell, I've had steak, chicken, lasagne, bolognese, steak burgers, in fact most things over the past year or so. I would recomend them. The delivery and service is very good and meat very tasty.
They currently have an offer on certain steaks with free delivery.
Not connected just happy customer, I think i first purchased from them following a thread on here

Silvermaid - i like the look of riverford's meat boxes, so think I shall order the two person one next week and see how long it lasts - they reckon a fortnight and it's £50ish so within our £50 a week budget if it does last that long.

box contents for week beginning 25th july 2011

pork shoulder joint 1kg
pork + herb sausage 450g

Just wanted to say thank you for the suggestion. I have placed my first order with them and the delivery is on Tuesday. It looks really good and I bought 2 of their box offers, bacon and ham enough to last a whole month (to feed 2 adults and 2 children) for under £60.00. That is pretty impressive!

Thanks again,

I bought a load of stuff from Stilton the month before last and have just finished it. I have to say that the majority of the stuff was fantastic, however we didn't like the sausages and the frozen minute steaks were VERY tough. Otherwise everything was really tasty - so different from supermarket meat.
