Delivery is excellent and most of the products I have bought are top quality. However, I was initially drawn by their high welfare 81 day chickens. They're not cheap at £20 each. Having had three, they are pretty dry and lack flavour. I have had better experiences with a £6 supermarket bird. I know I'm paying for the chicken to have a better life but I do expect something in return

Hi Steve,
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this with us directly.
We’ve now looked at the cooking method and timings in more detail. For a bird of around 2 kg, the method you described can amount to around 1 hour 40 minutes at 200°C, followed by a further 30–40 minute rest. Our view is that this is likely to leave the breast considerably drier than intended, and we would normally expect a bird of that size to require closer to 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, using internal temperature as the final guide.
We completely appreciate that you’re an experienced cook and that you’ve used the same method successfully with many other chickens. We also understand why having the same disappointing result more than once has put you off ordering again.
We’re sorry the chickens didn’t meet your expectations, but we’re grateful you gave us the opportunity to look into it properly.

Perfection from start to finish
From straightforward ordering to perfectly timed delivery. The service was second to none
As for the products ( 3kg brisket, beef ribs)
Wow, just wow. Perfectly trimmed and packed full of flavour. Perfect for a slow smoke.
Thankyou, will 100% be ordering again and very happy to recommend you to friends etc. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am still working my way through the steaks and so far everything has been delicious. I particularly enjoyed the bavette steak. The breakfast sausages are also really tasty.

Great produce, poor delivery service
The produce is great, the boxes are always damaged due to dpd drivers throwing boxes. Dpd says its not up to them to sort out their drivers. Even sent film footage of drivers damaging boxes. Would love it if another delivery service was available

Antwoord van Swaledale Butchers
Thank you for the feedback. We’re very pleased to hear you enjoy the produce, but sorry the condition of the boxes has let the delivery experience down.
We raise every reported instance of damage with DPD and continue to press them on the way our parcels are handled, including where customers have provided photographs or video footage. The packaging is designed to protect the contents in transit, but the outer box should still arrive in a reasonable condition.
At present, DPD remains the most suitable nationwide service for our chilled deliveries, although we keep this under regular review.

We’re continuing to raise delivery issues in the Cheltenham area with DPD, including instances where parcels are not taken to the door as instructed. I’m glad we were able to get involved and help on this occasion.

Great quality beef
Great quality beef, not uber pricey and quick,
reliable delivery. I appreciate the different cuts offered like Korean beef and sausage collaborations with restaurants. It adds some interesting variety to the standard meat order.

Review.io blocked poor review
Bought the minimum £80 order. Included 2 packs Texan-Style hot link sausages as reviews on website (Reviews.io) raved about them. The raw sausages looked very different from the website picture. Followed the smoking instructions very carefully but the sausages looked hardly cooked. Fried them to get some colour. Hot they tasted unpleasant, cold they were disgusting, overprocessed and not coarse as promised on the website. Will be throwing away the other pack. What a waste.
Also tried their belly pork that took 8 hours to smoke to a point where we could just about chew the meat. Any other belly pork would be pulled pork by this stage, not Swaledale which was so tough it probably would never have reached the pull.
The sting in the tail? Left a 1 star review on Reviews.io and they never sent a verification email. Repeated that a day later, no verification and no posted review. Wonder if Swaledale Butchers know Review.io block reviews?

Antwoord van Swaledale Butchers
We’re sorry that neither the sausages nor the pork belly met your expectations.
The Texan-Style Hot Links are smoked sausages with a different texture and appearance from a conventional coarse British sausage, but they should still have been enjoyable. We would like to check the batch supplied and understand more about how they cooked.
Pork belly also behaves differently from pork shoulder and will not necessarily reach a pulled texture. Although it benefits from slow cooking, it is possible to take it too far, particularly over an eight-hour cook, at which point the meat can become dry and tough rather than increasingly tender.
We are also concerned by your experience when attempting to submit a review through Reviews.io. We do not block genuine negative reviews and would like to investigate why you did not receive the verification emails.
Please contact us at hello@swaledale.co.uk with your order number and the email address used for the review submission so we can investigate both the products and the review issue properly.

I have had many good experiences with Swaledale, the meat is good and delivery on time and whenever I have had to communicate with them their responses have been quick and to the point.
