“Local butchers are closing down and sadly we are forced to become more reliant on supermarkets. So it is a real joy to be able to buy produce that supermarkets don’t stock such as offal. Thank you Alternative Meats!”

“Pies filled all expectations. I note however that the delivery charge was applicable to the Scottish highlands.It is a VERY long way from Selkirk to the Highlands,a fact that you might like to point out to your delivery company. A small point which will not stop me ordering from you in future”

“Wagyu short ribs, excellent, beyond expectations, Wagyu flank steak tough no matter if cooked rare, medium rare or medium but incredible flavour, Wagyu beef tongue also of outstanding quality.”

“Unlike other sellers, who sell the caul in 1 kilo frozen blocks , this was sold in 200g amount. This was just right for covering 3 terrines. It is excellent.”

“As always delivery was on time and well packed just a minor problem with the back bacon not quite up to the usual quality”

“As expected. My local butcher does a good flavour faggot, but says his supplier can't get caul fat. Hence had to get our own and wrap before cooking. Makes the faggot back to a traditional item with not a dry outside. Thankyou. Will have to reorder soon. Graham.”

“The meats were all delicious but unfortunately one of the bags with the spice mix had burst so it leaked in the parcel”

“Lovely mangalitsa sausages. Delivery a bit later than expected but otherwise a very satisfactory service. Have not yet tried the other cuts of meat purchased.”

Thank you for taking the time to review. I always personally email every customer with a suggested delivery date as we do not intentionally have an automated system so we can keep close contact with every customer. We are always open to requests for alternative delivery dates if we have the stock.

“The Mangalitza Dry Cured Bacon was excellent, The Tamworth x Welsh White Dry Cured Middle Cut Bacon was tough didn't matter how i cooked it it was tough. The Outdoor Pork Loin on the Bone was very nice,a bit lacking in flavour maybe due to the small piece i bought so next time i'll try a larger joint.”

Thank you for your feedback, we haven't received any other complaints about the Tamworth Bacon but we will certainly try some more here at AM as we do not like to have disappointed customers. I have refunded you for this and do hope to see you again soon.

“Great service, nice product. Cost of postage bumps the price up. Expensive luxury, so it won’t be a regular thing with us, but a nice treat.”

John, thank you, so pleased you enjoyed your Venison. As a small business we like to be transparent and honest about our delivery costs, rather than hiding them in the price of our products. I do hope you pop and see us again.

“Enjoyed the mangalitsa belly pork most, despite overcoming it. I treated it like conventional belly pork that would have crackling, which was a mistake! The unburnt bits were delicious. Can we have cooking guidelines on the packs? Will definitely buy again.”

Thank you Richard for your feedback, I am sorry you were disappointed with the Mangalitza Pork Chops, this is very unusual as everyone raves about how tasty the Mangalitza is but I guess they are not for you. I do hope you enjoyed our other fabulous products.

“Good service. I suggest to advise the customer at the time of order, or on the product info page whether the meat will arrive frozen or chilled.”

Hello Po, Thanks for your kind review. We do find it impossible at busy times to predict what will be available fresh or frozen, as we are drawing constantly on both types of stock. For instance, most items can be arranged on a chilled delivery if preferred but this takes a lot of organisation and most customers are not prepared to wait or a week or two whilst all the different types of products arrive in fresh to us. To get around this problem we have put a note at the checkout warning customers that their order may be frozen, chilled or a mix of both unless they state otherwise. The frozen product can be transferred straight to your freezer, the chilled product can be frozen if you choose.
