Accurate delivery times. Good prices. Decent quality. Silverside and sirloins were lovely. Bacon has a fair bit of water content when frying, but grilled or air fried solved that issue.

Despite picking a delivery date 5 days in advanced the order didn’t arrive. Tried emailing no response, tried calling automated message. Tried Facebook no response. Didn’t get order til 5 days later.... See more

Short notice cancelation

Disappointed about the short notice of having my Christmas order cancelled. It was due for delivery on Thurs 22 Dec so checked my email today (21 Dec) to make sure that everything was good. No email for today so looked further back in my inbox to discover an email on Monday notifying me of the cancelation. While I understand the reasons why (knock on effect of Royal Mail strike) it still leaves me with a big problem.

We have had excellent service from GBM Co for many years and this won't put me off using them in future. This problem is a reflection on how this country is going to the dogs thanks to decisions taken by our wonderful Government.

I hope that I can find a forerib of beef on the bone locally to replace the one that I'd ordered. Frankly I can't stand turkey and was looking forward to doing as I usual do on Christmas day, cooking the beef on my Weber Master Touch charcoal BBQ. Fingers crossed!

Disappointed!

I’ve used Great British Meat company on several occasions, my Christmas meat hamper was cancelled yesterday and while I appreciate they had to come to this decision, I now have limited time and funds to source meat for Xmas, refund states it could take around 5 days so I’m pretty stuffed, no meat, no cash!

Cancelled order 10 days before…

Cancelled order 10 days before Christmas blaming 1st stock shortage and then Royal Mail / courrier service. Fortunately found another company who could fulfill order without any excuses.
Will not use again

Had my order cancelled today

Had my order cancelled today, am I severely annoyed about it, yes as I was seriously looking forward to the Christmas dinner. This isn’t GBM’s fault, I will not be leaving them at all, their decision to cancel the orders and not dice it, is excellent. I’d rather not get it and have time to sort something local instead of it being late and I find out it’s all warm and oh no, nothing for Christmas dinner. This is all a Royal Mail fiasco, anybody complaining and giving a 1 star, get a reality check as unfortunately isolated things like this happen but it sure doesn’t represent the excellence I have always got from GBM.

Poor Service

Email send out Christmas week informing no longer able to deliver Christmas meat when ordered months ago. I understand that there are delivery pressures but a few days notice is terrible when most butchers order books are now closed.

Cancelled my Christmas order 3 days…

Cancelled my Christmas order 3 days before delivery and said it will take 3 -5 working days for a refund. Whilst I get that it was a problem with dpd and out of their hands, they knew about the problem a while ago and could have given more notice.

They cancelled my order

They cancelled my order the weekend before Christmas, not helpful when all the beef and Turkey seems to be sold out. However, I went to another online butcher I use that day, ordered the meat and had it within two days. It is now sitting in the freezer waiting for the big day.

Interestingly they use the same delivery people and seemed to have no issues getting my meat delivered in two days. Go figure.

Postal Strikes

Unable to deliver order due to postal issues. Given enough time to resolve issue hence why 5 stars. History of orders suggests this would have been excellent value and quality as in previous years.
