Great service and lovely meat. I order some great Wagyu from another supplier so I can be fussy about meat quality. I placed an order for a range of meats on (beef, pork and chicken) at 3:30pm, it was sent the same day for next day delivery. Sadly the courier, who normally are dependable, had issues at their depot and meant they couldn't deliver that same day. A quick call to the shop and straight away they sent a fresh order which landed the next day. I just feel sorry for the village butcher because they'd lost some meat due to the courier. Great service and definitely recommend.

I am the regular online customer of this shop. Always happy with deliveries - fresh and well packed. I started to order as they have the best pork neck for shashlik (shish kebab) in town. Also their turkey steaks are so yummy. I love to marinate them in curry/yogurt marinate and grill. The price to quality ratio is very good. I would recommend this shop.

First time we have ordered from The Village Butchers and will definitely be using again, especially for our 2021 Christmas turkey. We ordered the Turkey roll wrapped in bacon and it was absolutely delicious. Not yet tried all the other goodies we ordered, but they look just as good.

Ordered a 6kg turkey breast and 6kg ham for Christmas, both were absolutely delicious. The turkey breast came wrapped on bacon and was so moist. Really nice meat.
