I use http://www.chadwicksbutchers.com/products-page/checkout/ they arw a bit expensive, as they sell organic and free range, they are around the corner from me, I do know they deliver, as I see there van about and Jamie Oliver recommends them at his.chef classes in clapham junction.

Usually I get thw racks of ribs, only 5-6 quid and i find that it works out cheaper than the supermarket, I also like their kievs, o think they make them there and.i like their pies alot.

Was going.to try Weston I keep seeing them on groupon etc.

I don't post that often but I thought I'd share my experience.
Ihave just finished the meat I ordered from Clarebarry. The chicken breasts are ok, a good size and not too much sinew. Pork loin steaks ok, a bit thin but not full of water like supermarket meat. The minced beef quite frankly was the deal breaker. Its very coarse which I don't mind but some will dislike but themain reason is that it just doesn't taste very nice, it had an overwhelming flavour which I just didn't like, it wasn't off but very strong.
I have gone back to my local butcher buying once a month to fill my freezer plus I know I'm supporting local farmers and the butcher even if it is slightly inconvenient to have to go in to town to do it.

I now buy my meat from Cranstons of Penrith and all I can say is that it is fantastic meat and the sausages are out of this world. All my orders have been very well packed and reach me in North Wales in perfect condition.

I used to buy from Donald Russell but do find Cranstons much better and a a little bit cheaper.

Sorry I cant put in a link because I am new.

I've never had any problems with westingourmet...oh bar one where i didn't get the right amount of pork ribs in a pack, but their customer service was really great, they refunded me and a couple of days later i got a nice bag of chocolate fudge through the post as way of an apology.

We tried http://www.stiltonbutchers.co.uk/ last month. Their chicken breasts are tasty, pork belly and beef skirt are great but pork shoulder was a little underwhelming. Have to say tho that their customer service was appalling, so they may well have lost a customer due to that even if their meat is good.

http://www.allensofmayfair.co.uk/ meat is good quality, they often have a half price offer on their selection boxes so not bad value for money.

I've ordered from Westin Gourmet a fair few times now... Have to say I've never ever had a prob - can't speak for their customer service as I've never had to speak to anyone as had no probs... I love their meat so am really shocked that people have had probs BUT on the other hand the last order i made was a few months ago... Disappointing to hear they might have gone downhill their steaks are to die for! (or were! Lol) and their pork loin steaks gorgeous!!! I o ly order when there's a good offer on, but possibly won't bother again now lol

I have had the same experience with Westin Gourmet! They used to be great and I turned a good 5 people on to them. The quality was impressive (almost 2 years ago now) and the customer service was top-notch. Sadly, the past order I placed with them there were numerous issues and when I contacted customer service either I couldn't get through on the phone (trying numerous times at different times of day) or I got an insulting response to my emails. When someone finally called me, he was very rude and when his phone cut out after a few minutes, he didn't bother calling back.

They don't seem to care much about losing customers so I won't be going back! I do NOT recommend them! I think I'll try Donald Russell...

we have been using westin gourmet since we found an amazon local offer for boxes. the meat quality is much better than supermarket and after we realised better buying direct than keeping up a pre planned box (more for your money from various offers) we have continued to buy from them.

To be far we have had a few issues but they have alway refunded and/or added something extra in the next box. once they managed to send double but as not oreder they let me keep and charged just for what was ordered. That was a good week.

I am willing to accept the odd issue as they usually fix quite easily. i'm sure it would be the same for most of these companies. but WG is far better value than most sites and the quality has generally been very good.

This is making me hungry!

Definitely Donald Russell all the way for me, you can taste the quality, never had a problem and fantastic value for money
