“I decided to buy some meat from 'Alternative Meats' as Christmas presents for friends who appreciate good food. It was a success. The parcel arrived at the date I had specified and everything was packed safely with ice and special box. The comments from my friends have been excellent and I am sure Alternative Meats has gained some more customers. The Mangalitza sausages have been a special surprise.”

What a simply great gift idea Lucia! Especially at this time when it's not quite so easy to shop around - having treats delivered to your door is a lovely way to say hello and thinking of you ........ So happy we could make a difference for your Christmas Gifts this year!

“The boneless suckling-pig was exactly as described in the online brochure. It was very easy to cook and carve and was truly delicious.”

“Consistently excellent quality and wonderful customer service. Best place for veal liver and the most incredible mangalitsa bacon.”

The Mangalitza Bacon is defintely a feather in our cap, Jessica, there is no denying! It's lovely to hear that our other products delight as well ... we often hear that some of them, such as Veal Liver, are difficult to find elsewhere and it's great to make products like that easily available.

“Rabbit inedible and pork shoulder tough”

Helpful Report

Well, where to begin, Rita. Wild rabbit is exactly that - it is not "farmed", and fed on a special diet to ensure it's condition. Therefore the results achieved when cooking one can, of course, be variable. Not sure what happened with the Mangalitza Shoulder though - this is the first time we have had a description such as "tough" as the fat content and marbling usually renders a tender and succulent result.

“Dear Alternative Meats, I HAD given you a very good ratoing when I previously answered your questionnaire earlier however, since then we cooked the goose breast we had also purchased from you which we had for our New Year celebration dinner for just the two of us - we had really been looking forward to this but were extremely disapponted when we sat down with a glass of champagne and started our meal - it was the toughest and most tasteless goose we had ever cooked, and we have certainly had a few as we don't care for turkey. Very sorry, but not a good result so we won't be choosing that again! yours most sincerely Angus Lewis-Smith.”

“Although charged for pigeon, it wasn't sent and, on querying this, we were finally told it was out of stock. We have received a refund now. There were also items that were obviously not frozen. We didn't know whether they should have been and had defrosted. On enquiring, we were told that they had been sent unfrozen but could be put in our freezer if we wished.”

We’re disappointed to receive a negative review in one of the busiest years experienced by any online retailers in history. As a result of the Pandemic we did experience shortages of certain products ... and yes, we were turning around orders at such speed that we sent out fresh products - we simply didn’t have time to freeze everything. To be penalised for trying very hard to do the right thing seems a little harsh .. but sorry you feel this way Elaine.

“We have now ordered several times and we have nothing but praise for the quality of the meat and poultry we have received. And the "collection" of meats during the first lockdown certainly brought a smile to our faces.”

“I discovered Alternative Meats last year when searching for a source for veal to make our traditional Christmas meal of Wiener Schnitzel. The service was exceptional and personal and the veal was delicious! I ordered from them again this year...which says it all! Thank you! Merry (Covid) Christmas! Stay safe.”
