Good quality food but too much plastic wrapping
Helpful Report
Posted 2 years ago
Hi Anne, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Durable, flexible, recyclable, with a lower carbon footprint than paper and infinite uses when disposed of responsibly, in many ways, plastics are brilliant. It’s no wonder that globally we have become increasingly reliant on them. Unfortunately, carbon footprint isn’t the only environmental issue to be considered when it comes to plastic. Large amounts of plastic are ending up in our oceans and are not being widely recycled as part of a circular economy. We’ve removed as much packaging as possible, you won’t find any plastic lurking in our boxes where it isn’t absolutely necessary. For any plastic we use we ensure that we use the lowest grade plastic possible in order to reduce our usage. Unfortunately, we can’t do without plastic-like material completely; without it, your food would not be able to be stored in the freezer leading to an increased rate of it going ‘off’ and being wasted, resulting in massive food waste. As we only work with whole carcass butchery, there is minimal plastic used at the beginning of our supply chain. Our carcasses are delivered from the abattoir to our butchery completely plastic free, it is only when we cut and wrap our meat do we add plastic to our products in order to meet food safety protocols and get the food to you safely. It is important to consider this and make the distinction, as in many other retail environments, such as butcher's shops and supermarkets, meat is repackaged multiple times during the long supply chain process, which means far greater amounts of plastic are used. It may be finally wrapped in paper by the butcher over the counter of a supermarket or in a butcher's shop, however that does not guarantee a reduced plastic supply chain and often masks the true story of how that product has arrived from farm to table. At the moment, recyclable plastic is the most sustainable material to use for many of our products. We’re constantly researching and testing new packaging options that will help achieve our mission. All the best Pipers Farm

Firstly why ask for a review when I've only just opened one packet? Better to wait until Ive eaten more of the product-I only bought last week! Secondly I dont understand why you dont use weights instead of this small/ mediem /large description. Puts mwme in mind of the useless "units" descriptor for alcohiol Sell by size and weight like normal folk!

The order arrived on time. Easy to choose shopping. The package is all frozen nothing fresh and very well shipped, it is a good service. The meat that I bought, chicken, mince, lamb, looks good but the taste compare to other farms was not the best. Price quality=3

On my recent order I ordered 2 pork steaks for £3 these items were tiny and mostly fat and the price of 2 for £3 was incorrect apparently, they were £3 each. Very disappointed

This was delivered as a gift. The message was not included in the delivery and the invoice was put in the box. Both the Chutneys ordered were not delivered. I found out because I checked. The products were on point, but not satisfied overall..

Ordered from Pipers Farm when staying at my parents house in Surrey as am use to great Wiltshire farm shops and wanted to see if they could supply us when in Surrey. Booking and delivery experience was great, easy and convenient. Products all arrived in good condition. They have a good range of products but miss the variety and high quality of our local farm shops. It is a good alternative if you are looking for straight from farm source in area where there is not many direct options.

Nice products but they come frozen. This is noted under the delivery details but I felt it could have been made more apparent. I thought I was buying fresh meat.

Hi Angela, thank you for your review. I'm very sorry to hear of this confusion, we always send items frozen in our deliveries as we believe freezing to be natures way of preserving food. We do mention that our items are sent frozen on each product page and in the FAQS amongst other places. I am sorry that you did not see this information on the Pipers Farm website and that you were expecting this fresh. If there is anything our team can do to help please do let us know.

Have only tried the mushroom lasagne so far, which sadly was disappointing, as it had chillies in, which I was totally not expecting. I am not a fan of recipes that insist on putting chillies in everything. Really hoping that the rest of the items ordered are not the same.

Quality of products seems good, as usual, but most items had defrosted completely and the rest partially by the time they were delivered to me at my door: after 5 pm. The courier was not late. The time was as scheduled by DPD, but obviously there is a problem with frozen products in mid-summer unless an earlier time in the day can be guaranteed.

Thank you for sharing feedback with me, Our team do include additional ice when it is very hot. We always send items frozen in our deliveries as Freezing is nature's way of preserving food. You can safely defrost and re-freeze Pipers Farm meat Because we have grown our meat so carefully you can defrost and freeze your meat too. There is a widespread faux pas that you can’t re-freeze meat once it has been defrosted. While we would not recommend you do not do this with supermarket meat, this is one of the benefits of shopping with Pipers Farm, our meat is completely safe to re-freeze. I hope this helps?

The reason for ordering from you was to try your black pudding. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with it. Although it had good-sized pieces of fat, it had virtually no taste. There was no aroma from the pudding being cooked. When I was a teenager about 65 years ago I could smell black pudding being cooked throughout the house. I have bought black pudding from several different sources. I have been uniformly disappointed with the products.

We usually receive such wonderful reviews of our black pudding and we would like to help.

The fish had defrosted and I had to cook and eat it that day! I checked our cctv and the delivery was left on the doorstep at 1009am and I arrived home at 1040, very surprised to find it had defrosted in that amount of time.

Good company to deal with but has issues, was told by email order was delayed a week due to recent weather, goods then turn up following day! just as well we were in at the time otherwise these goods would have been totally defrosted.

I bought five steaks and one was small, and clearly poorer quality. My guests got the good ones and I had to have this one. The small amount of meat on it was tough and chewy. This has put me off buying meat on line as these were not cheap. Disappointed

Meat seems lovely but not sure what was fresh suitable for freezing and what had defrosted en route and shouldn’t be frozen - all packs marked can be frozen! But sandwich steak seemed fresh and glad I decided to use straight away because it was frozen deep in the middle of pack so glad I didn’t refreeze. I did email to ask but received no reply.

This delivery was a disappointment compared to previous orders the box was open on arrival and had it been delivered at a later time it would have been defrosted! (Yes we are having a heat wave) also one item was missing I chose not to pursue issue.

The products from these farmers are excellent and I would have given 5 stars. The packaging is awful and not just once but most times. Please try and sort this it let’s you down.

The chicken (with giblets, fab) and chops were very nice, as were the sausages but I'm not 100% sure about them and the bread oats definitely being gluten-free as I felt a bit ropey after them on two separate days but that could be my own sensitivity not the ingredients, I don't know. I went through the Top Cashback website to get a discount on my first order but although Top Cashback recorded it, Pipers Farm did not honour it so I lost out on nearly £10 discount.

Several items in my order arrived defrosted as the cold blocks were at one end of the packed order so the items furthest away were completely defrosted. When I sent in a complain the reply was to refreeze the items (I received the reply 3 days later as my order arrived at 7pm on Friday so I had already eaten them when I had wanted to keep them for later) and to read the care sheet. There was no care sheet in my order. Saying that, I have since eaten the fillet steak which was fabulous quality as were the lamb burgers, but I was not keen on the smooth texture of the beef, blue cheese and red onion burgers.
