Donald Russell Reviews

Food always arrives punctually, early in the day and well packaged, so it is still frozen. I was fed up trying to find a decent butcher, especially when our local one closed down, and saw an advert in the National Trust magazine. I have never regretted following up on this. Although appearing to be pricy, there is no shrinkage or wastage, so it probably works out cheaper to buy from DR. I sometimes try other suppliers, but none match the quality of DR. I even tried their ready meals as I have recently been hospitalised. Again, I was VERY impressed. Even my husband can cope with warming these up. Finally, DR spoils us with frequent offers on fillet steak, whether it be the steak, a burger, or off cuts for stews, goulash etc. Did I mention the menus too? DR provide everything that I need. Thank you so much.

Found this butcher by accident and so glad I did. Checked reviews before ordering which were excellent and placed my first order. Dlivery was as requested, well presented and packed. Kept me in touch re delivery. Not used all my order but what I’ve used have been very happy with. Will def use them again.

This was a reorder for the Chateaubriands, we have bought them a couple of times and have never been disappointed, these ones are for Christmas with the family! You won’t be disappointed with any of food from D Russell, I know we haven’t.

How Donald Russell does it I do not know but over the years I have grown even more satisfied with their service, quality and value for money. Fortunately, I have been given privileges to use a nearby neighbour's chest freezer which has allowed me to increase the frequency and quantity of my DR orders. Email alerts keep me on top of amazing offers which I definitely take advantage of regularly. I cannot recommend DR highly enough. A 5☆ operation!

I have used Donald Russell for a few years now, mainly for the superb meaty burgers for the barbecue, which have always been excellent and very filling. The steaks, pork chops and calves liver are also really good. I do tend to buy when they have special offers on to get even better value. Overall I have always had good service, delivery has been on time and great tasting meat. Thanks.🤩

As usual, excellent products and quick delivery

Very fast delivery and always excellent meat

Fantastic quality, quick delivery and well packaged !

I have always found this company very good, I did have an issue with a cardboard box delivery - but I spoke to customer service and they put it right. Their beef wellington is excellent and their confit of duck and we are really hooked on their alpine fries:) There are also some excellent offers - youve got to be quick though:)

Food was very tasty, arrived as promised and was not overly expensive with some fantastic deals

Excellent v.f.m. Great taste. Very quick delivery.

Quick delivery, well packed and delicious meat. I look forward to eating my meat from Donald Russell.

Excellent quality but expensive (more than my local farm shop) however when they have an offer on it's worth snapping up.

Have been a customer for many years now ‘as a live alone parent ‘the service is superb ‘especially there free delivery offers ‘all delivered individually packed allows me to use as I need & also stock up and not worry about getting out shopping ‘the Xmas menus and deliveries are a life safer for me ‘especially when I have family visiting for Xmas ‘seafood starters thru to sweet ‘to die for ‘god bless & thankyou

Quality produce with taste like I remember

I have used Donald Russell for many years and have never been disappointed. From Beef Wellington, Chateaubriand, chicken etc… the food has always been top quality. Keep up the good work.

Arrived very quickly and still frozen solid! Superb quality as always.

My experience over very many years has always been excellent. I have never had a bad product, it always arrives on time, well packed and still frozen.

I have used this company for years. The quality of meat and fish is excellent. Some of the ready meals leave room for improvement but we all have different expectations onvthat score. I'm a good cook ,For instance I cooked their venison medallions with a Farthingoe sauce I made this evening, perfect!!

We try to buy all our meat from Donald Russell. The quality and the taste are amazing. Yes it’s a little bit more expensive that a supermarket but the quality and taste are so superior that it is worth the difference. Our favs are the steaks / confit of duck / meat loaf / lasagne / burgers / sausage / pork chops. All good and even better when they are on offer
