Porchetta
The British Porchetta joint was absolutely magnificent. Succulent and very tasty. We had a meal with 5 adults and 4 young children all aged 5 and under. Initially, they all refused any meat. Then the eldest agreed to taste it. And then asked for more! The younger three joined in and before you knew it all children had tasted, requested more and were very happy. All adults commented on how juicy and tasty the joint was!

What a wonderful review, thank you so much!
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the British Porchetta was such a success with the whole family. We especially loved hearing how the children went from refusing the meat to trying it and then coming back for more, there can’t be a much better compliment than that!
It’s fantastic to know that everyone found the Porchetta so succulent, juicy and full of flavour, and that it helped make your family meal such an enjoyable one.
Thank you for sharing this lovely experience with us. We hope there are many more DukesHill family meals to come!

Christmas order
Normally no probs with placing an order, this time couldn't select a delivery date, ie the only date that came up was December 2025, some prices on the website were more than the latest brochure.
I had to ring on Monday (5th) to place an order, then ring again Tuesday (6th) ie today to ask where my confirmation was.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback.
We’re very sorry to hear that placing your Christmas order wasn’t as straightforward as it normally is. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to find that the correct delivery dates weren’t available online, particularly when you then had to call us to place your order and contact us again the following day regarding your confirmation.
We’re also sorry to hear about the differences you noticed between some of the prices in our latest brochure and those displayed on the website. We’ll make sure your comments are passed on to the relevant teams so that these points can be looked into.
We really appreciate your continued custom and hope that, despite the difficulties you experienced when ordering this time, everything with your Christmas delivery goes smoothly from here.

Reply from DukesHill
We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced receiving your order.
Having to wait two weeks and go through three delivery attempts for an order of four pies is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration.
We also appreciate your comments regarding our dispatch process. Your feedback will be passed on to the relevant team so that we can understand what went wrong and help prevent similar issues from happening again.
I can also confirm that a member of our team has reached out to you directly regarding your experience so that we can discuss what happened and have the opportunity to put things right.
While we are pleased that your order eventually reached you, it should never have taken this much time or effort on your part to receive it.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused, and we hope you enjoy the pies now that they have finally arrived.
Kind regards,

Their courier just dumps the parcel with the expensive contents on the back step in the rain without even ringing the bell. Don't buy unless you want to sit on the back step waiting until the courier decides to deem you worthy of a visit. It’s a shame there isn’t zero stars
EDIT
PS After reply by Dukes Hill.
It takes no effort to ring a door bell, so chosen courier is obviously not interested in doing their job. Why should a customer have to give permission for a courier to delivery to somewhere else other than their home? It is beyond belief. As this courier is chosen by Dukes Hill, I can only assume they are cheap to use. I will not be spending my money, again on a product that may or may not go off on the back step on a rainy day and only inches away from a door bell.

We are very sorry to hear about your delivery experience and completely understand how frustrating it must have been to find your parcel left outside on the back step in the rain, particularly without the driver ringing the doorbell or making you aware that the delivery had been made.
We appreciate that our customers are ordering premium products from us and quite rightly expect their parcels to be treated with care throughout the entire delivery process. You certainly should not feel that you have to wait outside simply to make sure your order is delivered appropriately.
For future deliveries, the best thing to do is to provide specific delivery instructions for the driver, including your preferred safe place. These instructions are passed across with the delivery so that the driver knows exactly where you would like the parcel to be left if you are unable to receive it personally.
That said, we completely appreciate that this does not excuse your experience on this occasion. Your parcel should have been handled appropriately, and we are very sorry that the delivery has left you feeling so disappointed.
We will make sure your feedback regarding the courier experience is passed on, as the final delivery is an important part of the service our customers receive from us.
Please accept our sincere apologies again for the frustration and disappointment caused, and we hope we have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Bacon produced loads of white stuff when fried
Per my email trail with Chelsie in Customer Services starting over a month ago, I complained that the dry cure bacon I purchsed produced loads of white liquid and some water when it was fried. I sent a photo. The marketing description for the bacon on the web site and brochure claimed (and still claims) 'dry cure, no added water' and 'artisan' curing methods - i.e not like supermarket bacon. And the price was premium.
Chelsie was very polite but could not get the supplier/manufacturer to explain my experience and photo. Just ignored my complaint.
I believe the marketing claims are untrue, and Dukeshill Customer Service is rubbish. Lovely brochures though.
They just lost a customer.
After seeing the manager's AI generated response, and reviewing Chelsie's AI responses, it is clear Dukeshill cares nothing for resolving customer complaints. Placating complainers via AI, yes, but no serious effort to find out what the supplier had done to adulterate the bacon sold at a premium price. I cannot fathom why they cannot be bothered to find out!

We are very sorry to read your review and completely understand your frustration, particularly as you first raised your concerns over a month ago and took the time to provide photographs to help us investigate.
We would, however, like to reassure you that your complaint was not intentionally ignored. From what you have described, Chelsie raised your concerns and was trying to obtain further information from the supplier so that we could provide you with a proper explanation rather than give you an answer without having the facts. We are very sorry that this process took so long and, more importantly, that you were left feeling as though nothing further was being done.
We also fully appreciate why you questioned the product description after seeing the amount of white liquid released when cooking the bacon. When a product is described as dry cured and no added water, and is sold as a premium product, it is entirely reasonable for you to expect us to properly address your concerns when your experience appears inconsistent with those expectations.
We take the accuracy of our product information and the quality of the food we sell seriously, and feedback such as yours is important. Where a concern requires input from one of our suppliers, we rely on them to provide the technical information needed for us to investigate properly, but we recognise that we remain responsible for keeping you updated while that investigation is taking place. We are sorry that this did not happen as it should have.
I can confirm that a member of our team has now reached out to you directly regarding your complaint so that we can follow this up with you and hopefully bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
We are particularly sorry to hear that the experience has resulted in us losing you as a customer. We appreciate that an apology does not undo the frustration you have experienced, but we hope the contact from our team demonstrates that we do take your concerns seriously and want to address them properly.
Kind regards,
The DukesHill Team

We are very sorry to hear that your order arrived completely at room temperature. We completely understand how concerning and disappointing this must have been, particularly when you are receiving food products that you quite rightly expect to arrive in the appropriate condition.

Failure to deliver as promised - poor customer service
I placed an order with this company. For delivery on a Friday - it was sent on Wednesday. I was called on Thursday to offer an alternative for one product as the item I wanted was not available. Full marks here and I accepted the alternative-
The next I had any communication was at 0903 on the Friday of delivery from DPD stating they had just received the item.
As delivery was for that day this seemed irregular and I called dukes hill at 0930 amd queried this. The operator stated they would contact DPD and get back to me.
No one returned my call so I phoned again after 1200 when. It was clear DPD would not de delivering that day.
There didn’t appear to be a record of my earlier call and I had to go through everything again. This lady did return my call and told me DPD had my item and it would likely arrive on Saturday. This was not what I wanted as this would have been inconvenient to wait in for. Further this is a meat product and presumably the ice pack is not designed to last two days. Ot certainly wouldn’t be good sitting on my doorstep on a day I may not be at home.
Whilst I was offered a refund the rather catty remarks from the operator “oh well you’ve made your mind up and I can’t be bothered to argue” were uncalled for (and I made that clear to her).
I was really quite excited to see how these products were (the look and sound amazing) and was initially impressed when a substitution was needed on how you called to check. DPD service in my experience is one of the best courier services for reliability.
I do not know what went wrong here but it would almost seem that either dpd did not collect on the Thursday but at the point they scanned it onto their system or they did and it was processed badly although I suspect that as there was no further scan of the item they were not collected as Duke Hill advised.
I’m disappointed in not being able to try the products (they are not cheap but reviews are good) it’s just a shame administration and poor customer service alienated me.

We are very sorry to read about your experience and for the disappointment and frustration caused by both the failed delivery and the way your concerns were subsequently handled.
It is particularly disappointing to hear that your experience started positively, with our team contacting you regarding the unavailable product and arranging a suitable alternative, only for things to then go wrong with the delivery itself.
We completely understand why the DPD tracking update on Friday morning caused concern, particularly when you were expecting your order that day. You did the right thing by contacting us to query this, and we are very sorry that the callback you were initially promised did not happen and that you then had to contact us again and explain the situation for a second time.
We also fully appreciate your concerns about a meat order being delayed for an additional day. Our packaging is designed to protect our products during transit, but we understand why an unexpected delay would leave you concerned about the condition in which your order might eventually arrive.
Most concerning, however, is the comment you have described receiving during your conversation with a member of our team. Regardless of the difficulties surrounding the delivery, you should always be spoken to politely and professionally. We are very sorry that your interaction left you feeling otherwise.
We would like the opportunity to investigate both what happened with the dispatch and delivery of your order and your experience when contacting our customer service team. Please email us at help@dukeshillham.co.uk with your order details and mention your Trustpilot review so that we can identify the order and look into this properly.
We appreciate that you were genuinely looking forward to trying DukesHill for the first time, which makes it especially disappointing that your first experience ended this way. We hope you will give us the opportunity to understand what went wrong and see what we can do to put things right.
Please accept our sincere apologies again for the inconvenience and disappointment caused.

The heating instructions for the cooked ham midi Wiltshire resulted in a dry ham . There were no time for heating depending on the size of the ham. The 2 hours on the instructions I feel was much too long for the size of the ham

Unprompted review
Reply from DukesHill
We are very sorry to hear that your Wiltshire Ham Midi turned out dry, and we completely understand your disappointment.
The guidance on the ham tag specifies 2 hours of heating for a whole ham. As the Midi is a smaller ham, it would not require the same length of time in the oven.
We are sorry if the information provided with your ham did not make this distinction clear enough. We appreciate that customers rely on the cooking and heating instructions supplied with our products, and those instructions should be straightforward and appropriate for the size of product being prepared.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will make sure your feedback regarding the instructions is passed on to the relevant team so that we can review how clearly the different heating times for our ham sizes are communicated.
We are particularly sorry that the confusion resulted in your ham becoming dry and affected your enjoyment of it. We hope that despite this experience, you will give us another opportunity to provide you with the quality you would expect from DukesHill.
Kind regards,
