Chilled or Frozen?

We can professionally freeze your order, free of charge. Our specialised freezers allow us to shock freeze your goods, locking in taste and nutrients that could otherwise be lost, and ensuring that you get the highest quality products delivered to your door.

The Benefits of Shock Freezing:
It's Fresher - Our freezers chill faster and at much lower temperatures than home-freezing, which locks in the freshness. With professional shock freezing, your meat loses less fluid, so it stays juicy and succulent when it's cooked.

It's Safer - Your meat goes into our freezer straight after cutting and consequently it contains very little bacteria. It leaves our freezers nearly twice as cold as with conventional home freezers which better prevents bacterial development.

It's Convenient - Your food arrives frozen solid in conveniently sized portions, ready to pop straight into your freezer. Each item is clearly labelled and bagged in special packaging that helps prevent freezer burn. Use it when you're ready - simply allow your meat to thaw in the pack for maximum freshness.

For maximum quality always ask us to freeze your order.

Mixed orders
For health and safety reasons, we cannot mix chilled and frozen products in the same order. If your order includes any product marked as "Supplied Frozen Only" we will professionally freeze all of your goods at no extra cost.
Our range also includes certain products, such as our bacon and smoked salmon, which cannot be delivered frozen. These products will be delivered separately from any frozen goods you have ordered. In these cases we will make every effort to match your orders so that they are delivered at the same time and date.
