HAPPY CUSTOMERS

"Just wanted to let you know that you folks have allowed my husband and I to send my Daughter and Son-in-Law the perfect gifts. We live in the US and they live in Auckland! It's very difficult, being so far away, to know what they might need and sending things they want can be as expensive to mail as to acquire! But everyone looks forward to having such wonderful high quality meats your company provides! Thank you so much for your terrific quality products and outstanding service!"

Hi team, just wanted to say a big thank you for your amazing service. I needed to cater for a dinner party and fell upon your website after searching “Gourmet Meat”. I live in Whangarei and thought I would purchase a few different items to try and test your service before placing a large order for our party. I was so impressed at how efficient your service was. I ordered my meat online one day, and it was couriered from Akld to Whg the next day. The meat arrived all professionally packaged and in excellent condition with freeze packs included in the box to keep the meat cool. The meat itself is to die for!!!!! Everything is as described on your website. The price is deserving of the meat provided and very affordable, your meat is extremely superior to that offered in other butchery’s and supermarkets and more importantly is very flavoursome! We will be ordering all our meat online from hereon in. Thanks team.

"I am just writing to in say how much I and my family enjoyed the Rolled Boned Pork which we picked up for Christmas Dinner. There was a beautiful covering of fat which was fantastic for crackling. The meat was moist and soft.

We all agreed that it was one of the best pieces of pork that we had in a long time."
