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.

BASCO is now my go to supplier of quality food for special occasions. I had the old cow steaks which were amazing. The whole fillet was so tasty, and the whole suckling pig was beautiful in taste, the best crackling ever, and a culinary spectacle - a complete success.
I’m so glad I found BASCO.
Oh, delivery is great too.

Unbelievably great company

Unbelievably great company! These days most people couldn’t care less about the customer but all about the profit. It’s nice to see a company that holds its values dear. The whole process from the website to delivery reflects that!

Next day order not delivered 3 days later

Usually Basco have been fairly good, but I made an order for fresh food on Monday for next day delivery, and 3 days later I have still not received the parcel. If it has been sent, the food will be spoilt. DPD say they have not received the parcel yet, but Basco have charged my card. Customer service have not responded after I raised this to them yesterday.

Basco's Iberico pig cheeks are…

Basco's Iberico pig cheeks are delicious and have wonderful flavour and texture when slow-cooked, whole Galician fillet is also excellent, four fillet steak family meals out of it and marbled and flavoured to perfection. The range and quality of the Manchego is also a treat, a little membrillo and a good Spanish red hits the spot.

Great service as usual

Great service as usual, been using Basco for years to get all my food I can’t get over here. Takes away some of the homesickness and stress from missing my motherland.

Beautifully marbled premium cuts!

I placed my order to restock my freezer with premium meats, and all the items arrived well packaged and still frozen.
You can tell my simply looking at the products that it's top quality -beautiful cuts with wonderful marbling. The picanha and chuck steak were both fantastic in flavour and cooked to perfection!
As soon as I have room in my freezer again, I shall order again.
