Perfect Piglet

I bought a suckling pig. It was packed very well, arrived on time via DPD, and was absolutely delicious. Anyone who loves meat should, in my opinion, try a suckling pig: it is a breeze to cook in a standard domestic oven, and really not much more expensive that, say, a really good sirloin of proper grass fed beef that would feed as many people. Little Pedro will not be my last piglet!

Quality

Knowing I can rely on the quality of the cheese that I order means everything. Doesn't matter how good your prices are, how great the ordering and delivery are, unless the the produce is worth it.
Basco are at the top :- Ordering, price,delivery but best of all FLAVOUR !

Poor customer service and delivery

The delivery company let the meat go off. It took 2 months to get a compensation voucher from Basco. Then when we used it they sent us the wrong thing (probably on purpose) and said they couldn't refund anything because a voucher was used. Also every time the delivery company leave the box outside without ringing the bell.
Very unimpressed with the delivery and customer service.

I ordered 6kg+ of Galician Rib and Rubia Gallega. Delivery was great, I had reason to call the office and customer service was good.

The quality of the meat is below average unfortunately. Galician steaks due to the
Age are not as tender as others but these were both very tough which is not ideal.

If you are looking to recapture the taste you have enjoyed at a top steak house or in Spain it will not be with these cuts and not compensated by the typical depth of flavour..

In fairness, whilst £50 for 1kg isn’t cheap, it is significantly less than other providers who sell 45 dry aged for almost double (however that is without bone).

As always you get what you pay for.

I cannot speak highly enough of this company. I am a massive foodie and I only ever buy quality.
If you are like me then you need to get to know the amazing products Basco stock! You will only ever find the most amazing unique products here. To mention a few- Carabineros Prawns, whole or pieces of suckling pig, milk fed lamb, iberico meat and charcuterie, Gordal olives, whole octopus or just the tentacles, bomba rice, Galician beef, kitchenware, wine, cheese, beer etc etc. If you love quality at a very fair price, a quick delivery and the best customer service, then look no further!!!!

Good quality

I've ordered a few things from Basco recently (piquillo peppers, txakolina wine, morcilla, with some Basque cider on its way) and the products have always been spot-on. My only very minor issues are: the amount of packaging (it could be a bit more environmentally friendly); and courier (DPD) delays on a couple of deliveries, which made me worry about perishable items (morcilla), although they always seemed to arrive OK in the end

Family BBQ Ruined!

Family BBQ Ruined!
Ordered ribs from Basco with Express delivery for Friday. Called Friday to say there was a problem, but promised express delivery Saturday morning in order to still make timeline. Here we are Saturday noon, no delivery (seems like non-express delivery used), and now needing to scramble to recreate a menu for a family BBQ due to the double failure from this supplier (whose helpline is also closed).

Recent purchase fraught with issues

Recent purchase fraught with issues:
- Delivery service missed the delivery window by several hours resulting in defrosted product.
- Free gift as an incentive for spending £150+ not included in the delivery.
- After confirming that this would be rectified over the phone, I received neither the partial refund for defrosted product, or the voucher to compensate for the lack of the gift until I followed up twice via email.
Really interesting and great products available on this website, but I’ve completely lost faith in their delivery and aftercare should things go wrong. Not the sort of service you’d expect from a website that offers such premium products, and honestly, not worth the risk and time involved in rectifying issues.

Best chorizo on the market

Having eaten in Cafe Andaluz in Glasgow recently, I was impressed not only with my overall experience, but in particular with the quality of their chorizo. By far the best i have ever tasted, such a change from the rubbery supermarket offering.Not expecting to ever find out the source of this product, I asked the restaurant owner who was happy to share. I have since ordered from Basco and what a difference this has made to my one tray oven bake, and my caldo verde soup.
