Great meat every time

Great meat every time! As always Ian sources the best quality products. The chicken thighs were great for the first BBQ of the year and the pork loin was perfect for Mothers Day tomorrow. And because they use DPD, deliveries are always on time.....

Fabulous meat

Have repeated my first experience and tried more products. Both collar of pork and the mutton are bursting with flavour. The descriptions and recipe sections are also extremely helpful and well worth a look.

Hello Pam,

Thanks for your review, it's good to hear the website was good and, more importantly, you enjoyed the beef!

I ordered several products from Grid…

I ordered several products from Grid Iron Meat, including their Native Breed Beef Flat Iron Steak, Old Fashioned Beef Dripping, Marrow Bone Boats and Rings, Cold Smoked Pancetta, and Smoked Bacon Lardons. From a professional chef’s perspective, the entire experience was impressive. Delivery was fast, packaging was secure and well‑insulated, and everything arrived in perfect chilled condition even with free delivery. The quality of the ingredients speaks for itself. I’m very happy with my order and would absolutely recommend Grid Iron Meat to anyone looking for top‑tier meat products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.
We’re delighted to hear that everything met your expectations, and that the delivery and packaging impressed you too. We put a lot of time into sourcing native breed beef and preparing each cut properly, so it’s fantastic to know that care came through in the quality.

Thanks again for your recommendation — we really appreciate the support. If you ever need anything or want to try something new, we’re always here to help.

large lamb shoulder

Bought a large lamb shoulder from here for a family event and slow cooked on the BBQ for 7 hours at 125 deg. I had expected to have a decent amount left but everyone liked it so much it.
The shoulder was the nicest pieces I’ve seen, and according to my wife the best and favourite thing to come off the BBQ.
I’d never bought from here before, but will be buying again with no question.
Perfect meat.
Delivered well packed and on time.

Wow – what a great review, thank you so much!

We’re absolutely delighted to hear the lamb shoulder went down so well (even if it meant no leftovers!). It sounds like it was cooked perfectly and it's praise indeed to get “best thing to come off the BBQ” from your wife.

Thanks again for giving us a try – we look forward to supplying your next BBQ!

Free range bacon

Unable to get free range bacon in Whitby we've had 2 orders so far from Gridiron and packed quite a lot into the freezer. Everything else we've tried has been excellent including the rib of beef we had at Xmas.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this – we really appreciate it.

We know how hard it is to find good bacon locally, so we’re really pleased we’ve been able to help. It’s great to hear you’ve enjoyed everything else too – especially the rib of beef at Christmas.

Thanks again for your orders and support – we look forward to keeping you stocked up in Whitby!

Consistent quality and service

I enjoy using the easy to use and very helpful website. The quality of all the meat is consistent and excellent value. It's more than just a butcher as they offer menus and cooking suggestions. I am a very happy and regular customer.

We have been buying meat from Grid Iron…

We have been buying meat from Grid Iron since lock down, when one of the restaurants listed them as a supplier to support. The quality of the meat always blows our mind, so much better than anything you can get at a buchers in London. When we want a treat or to cook a great meal we make sure to do an order with Grid Iron. The deliveries though have gone a bit downhill ever since they switched to DPD as DPD just leave the meat at the door without even ringing the doorbell. This has happened to us twice now.

Hi and thanks for such a great review and your long term approach is really appreciated. We're sorry to hear about the issues with DPD and it's a shame that they spoil the experience for you. If you let us know next time you order, or leave a note at the checkout, we'll put instructions on the box for them to ring the bell and where to leave it safe, if there's no reply.

Absolutely amazing products.

Absolutely amazing products.
I order for the first time but definitely will not be the last. They followed my request to don't send me pork organs fat what i really really appreciate and 100% i will become a loyal client because other companies doesn't have the option to let a demand or note on their order. My order was 56120 and I am more happy than ever with the quality. I had some doubts whit delivery because came split in 2 different orders but in the end came everything. Thank you for your quality and for very professional services! 👏

Hi Cristina,

Thanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave this lovely review!

We're really glad to hear your first order was a great experience – and that our team was able to follow your request regarding the pork back fat. We know how important those little details are, and it's great to know it made a difference for you.

Apologies again for any confusion with the split delivery – sometimes orders are sent in separate parcels to keep everything in top condition, but we're glad it all arrived safely in the end.

Thanks again for choosing us – we’re so pleased to have you as a loyal customer, and we’re looking forward to sending you more top-quality products in the future!

THE FIRST ONE WE BOUGHT SPOILED USIt wasn't as tender as the first one we…

It wasn't as tender as the first one we bought. The cross section wasn't round (barrel shaped) as a centre cut usually is, it was more triangular. It didn't seem to cook evenly. (Don't know whether that gives you a clue)??? Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. We still intend to return for a Christmas fillet.

Hi Terry,

Thanks so much for your review and for coming back to us again – we really appreciate your support.
You're absolutely right to notice a difference, and your comments are really useful. Unlike supermarket meat, our native breed beef isn’t always as uniform in shape or texture – especially with cuts like the centre-cut fillet. These animals are slower grown and naturally varied, so you’ll sometimes see differences like the triangular shape you mentioned. It’s not unusual, and doesn’t affect the quality, but it can mean the cooking needs a bit of adjustment.
That said, we totally get how that can catch you off guard, so thanks again for flagging it. If you're planning ahead for Christmas, let us know – we’re more than happy to talk through options or help you get the perfect fillet for your plans.
Looking forward to seeing you back soon.
