Information provided by various external sources

The founders of GBMC (Dan, Jamie and Sam), wanted to introduce the UK to a better way of buying meat, with the same values, skills and passion generations before ours had from their local butcher. To give people a chance to enjoy the flavour of carefully sourced and expertly crafted, freshly butchered British meat.

Written by the company

GREAT FARMERS
We're proud to source our meat from local farms, cattle markets and abattoirs near to us in North East England. Hard working independent farmers, who know and respect their animals and every inch of their farm. By trading this way we cut out middlemen and pay a better price for quality, that is fairer on the farmer and the customer.
GREAT BUTCHERS
All our meat is hand-cut to order by the GBMC butchery team at our meaty HQ. Our Master Butcher is a stickler for quality, buying choice meat and maturing it until it's just right in our ageing room. Whether it's cutting, dicing or slicing, we make sure it's as tasty as can be, and that's why our meat is cut to order the day before it arrives with you.
GREAT MEAT
We use food grade temperature controlled packaging to ensure your meat arrives nice and chilled, within 24 hours of leaving our fridge. Consistently tested by our technical team, we are confident it is the safest way possible to send meat to you. Now with one-hour delivery slots.

First time order

Ordered 5kg of bavette steak and 5 packs of flat iron steak. Never had either before but will definitely be buying both again. Great quality, low price and delivery was first class. I will use them all the time now. Cheers guys

First time experience very good!

First time I’ve purchased some meat (3kg chuck) from these guys and it was really nice, fresh and flavoursome. Package was perfect, the meat was vacuum packed and it was nice and chilled at the time of the delivery due to the ice packs. Correct labelling attached to the pack also, therefore, everything spot on for first time experience! Thank you.

Good choice of meat

Not impressed today

Not impressed today. Tiny chicken, crazy amounts of fat on pork loin.
Customer service useless - say that in mid Feb they are still processing refunds and complaints from Christmas!

Cancelled Xmas Order

We ordered our Christmas meat in early December. The order was taken and cancelled a week later, with the Great British Meat Co seemingly blaming DPD, the delivery service. We were informed by an email which I actually found in my spam folder. Firstly Great British Meat Co., take responsibility for your mistakes and don't blame other services that you employ and secondly for something as critical and important as Christmas Meat, ensure that your customers are aware of the cancellation.

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!
