Just received a delivery from TVB. Delivery was as requested and both products, chicken breasts and beef were exceptional. Three of the main things I like about TVB is the quality, the choice of less... See more

Quick delivery and good quality
Quick delivery, good quality meat and reasonably priced when there's a bit more room in my freezer I'll looking for some freezer fillers
Certainly met my expectations
Ordering process easy and arrived on time. First impressions good as I divided meat into suitable sizes for us. Cooked the lamb cutlets that night with jersey new potatoes, Italian broad beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh mint sauce. Delighted with the lamb. Decent thickness cutlets and very tasty Took a photo of cooked meal but nowhere to post!
Bought a 2 cote de boeouf steaks…
Bought a 2 cote de boeouf steaks costing £50, the first one was absolutely rubbish, I complained and they sent a replacement. The replacement was worse than the first, and apparently because I didn't complain quick enough they're not taking it to any further. Very poor customer service, even worse steaks. I haven't tried the second, but I'm not holding my breath.
Customer service not great
I ordered 8 chickens from them kept one out to use snd froze the rest, when we opened the chicken it was off and smelt really bad.
I complained to them and asked for refund, i gad sent pictures of chicken etc.
they responded snd said they would give me a credit!!! Problem is they charge you £8.95 delivery so i would still be paying for a replacement!
I asked them again for refund and they stated i would need to send the chicken back!!! It smelt terrible so packing it and shipping it back would have served no purpose!! Not helpful considering they send you emails stating they will 100% sort it out for you!!!
Not good. I now have a credit note that i won't be using as i have 7 other chickens in the freezer!! Not sure if they are off either yet..
Value for money for good quality British meat
I can specify when I wanted my delivery. Everything was packed beautifully. I ordered Salt brisket and it was perfectly tender. It was good value meat shopping.
Great quality product
Great quality product, delivered perfectly and good value for money. My only (very tiny) comment would be to spend some money improving the performance of the website.
Fantastic products
Fantastic products, packed well, reasonable pricing and excellent delivery.
I've just received my first order
I've just received my first order. The service I received I can not honestly fault. The quality of the steaks. Lamb, baby back ribs, ect is Excellent. I have tried several online butchers. And for service, quality and delivery. The guys here are by far the best. Thank you. Will definitely be placing another order soon...
Most of the meat that I have ordered…
Most of the meat that I have ordered has been very good and great value. But in reference to my last order, the Sirloin Steaks were disappointing, uneven cuts, large amount of fat, reducing a 8 to 10 Oz steak was reduced to a 6 Oz. I like a bit of fat and usually trim to my family's likes, but to be perfectly honest shoved them in the freezer and bought some from Aldi. A little bit cheaper but so much better. Sorry to say that I will not be buying the same product again.
Outstanding Quality
Goods delivered in quality packaging.
So impressed with the quality of the meat. Far superior to supermarket meat.
Looking forward to the next delivery!
Great value

Honest
Honest, first class meat, service, but above all, the taste, flavour, quality is (as an ex butcher) first class.
Quality company
Good place to obtain meat, straight forward and excellent meat
First class service
All the purchases I have made with village butchers have been first class quality, exactly as described, and deliver exactly on time and extremely well priced. Thank you.
The beef short rib I ordered was…
The beef short rib I ordered was excellent. I slow cooked it for 3 hours in chicken stock, beef stock and red wine with celery, onions and carrots. I then let them cool in the sauce and then the next day I reheated it and cooked it for another 2 hours. It was delicious. They were the largest short ribs I’d ever seen, great value, I would highly recommend them.
