The Product
Our meat arrives to you vacuumed packed because that is the best way to preserve its quality. If you open your pack and it smells a little bit simply remove the meat entirely from the at and allow it to breathe for 15-30 minutes. All of our meat packets are ready to be used straight away, or put in the freezer for a future date.
Yes, they are all gluten-free. If we ever make sausages with gluten in them they won't be included in our pre-made boxes.
Ageing meat is a centuries-old tradition of allowing the meat to sit for a certain amount of time so that the enzymes begin to break down and tenderise the meat and elevate the flavours. We age our meat between three to eight weeks depending on the cut.
It smells… interesting!
Yes aged meat does have a smell, but that’s just the process of the enzymes breaking down, trust us it’s still safe and delicious! Simply let the meat breathe and all interesting smells will dissipate in 15-30mins.
No, we currently only sell Bostock Brothers Free Range, Organic Chicken products.
Your Subscription
We have options for you to receive your box either every two weeks or every four weeks.
While products in each box will vary we have carefully estimated the amount of meat needed for a family of either two or four hungry people.
We will always include staple cuts such as the roast, steak and mince, but we also like to keep it exciting for you with a few delicious and different cuts.
We will be sad to see you go, but of course, you can cancel your subscription at any point. You will receive any box that has already been charged to your dedicated card and we will keep your information on record so you can restart your subscription at any time.
