How was the meat from Cambrian organics kittie?

I looked at the meat when I was in the Riverford shop last year. The beef was far, far too red to have been well-hung. The butcher behind the counter said it had been hung for 21 days but it certainly didn't look it. I told him so and, frankly, didn't believe him :eek: so I didn't buy it.

Interestingly, the website states that the beef is hung for between 12 & 21 days!

The large meat box from my favourite supplier - Well Hung Meat - works out at an average of £8.13 per kg. Less variety, but 4 x 2kg roasting joints, which I prefer.

Hi all, I noticed a lot of people on here get veg boxes delivered, and I just wondered if anywhere does the same type of thing with meat? however I would only want cheap and everyday meat, not really expensive cuts.
I live in essex if that helps

Thanks for your help

I use Donald Russell for beef, but that's probably not what you are looking for.

For lamb, mutton and Pork I use Moorlands/Fishleigh Estates. They sell a wide range of cuts and I think you can even buy a whole animal if you want. I have to say their mutton is fantastic, and that is why I went there in the first place (recommendation on this board of course). And mutton is amazingly cheap.

Here's a link to their website.

And here's a link to the discussion we had on mutton http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=117605

I bought Donald Russell beef and have never found it that good - just ordinary. My parents also bought some at a different time and their opinion was exactly the same as mine.

Hi Nickinoddle

Look out for Pedigree meat this way it comes direct off the farm, cutting out the middle man. Also most farms do stewing packs. Meat boxes are the way forward in purchasing economic & traceable food which also benefits the local economy. Try Longhorn beef & Gloucester Old Spot Pork for top quality. There should be a farm local to you. The trouble with some direct meat companies is that they are just wholesalers no differnet from supermarket meat. The beef needs to be hung to tenderise and release fluids. I sell meat direct but website still under construction https://www.cwrthenllysfarm.com. We are near Newport in South Wales.

Happy Local Eating
Longhorn is the Beef for the future
Cheers Ceri

I buy mine from local farm shop, another one which cuts out the middle man, he'll gladly do a box for me but I like to choose my own and I unortunately have a diddy freezer, definately not big enough for the very good value half a lamb boxes he does.
