Such a disappointment. We’ve ordered several times from here and EVERY time it was perfect. The meats were amazing, always tender never fatty or “ropey” but since they’ve been brought out oh lord they... Ver mais

Unfrozen delivery

The delivery arrived completely unfrozen and the food will need to be thrown away. In fairness I should say that when DR contacted me 3 days later - due to the Easter Bank holiday they offered a refund straightaway. So I have upped my original rating (1 star) to 3 stars.

Never use again

Delivery should have been on saturday 28 march but received email late friday to state it would be tuesday 31st. On monday 30th requested confirmation of tuesday delivery as i was away rest of week and needed to cancel if this was not the case. Confirmed delivery would be tuesday. Emailed twice on tuesday as no further update received ....emails ignored. Delivery on wed ...my friend had to deal with as i was away. So much stress and hassle. Have had no bother with previous experience but this was terrible and will never use again. I would not recommend using due to this service and lack of customer service.

Simply the BEST

I have just made Donald Russells Easter dinner for two and it was the best food I've ever eaten. the lamb racks were better than any food we have ever eaten (and my father was a butcher).
They have always responded quickly to any query and are amazing with customer care. In this day of "that'll do" Donald Russell goes above and beyond!!

10/10 in every aspect of the business. I will be sharing my amazing experience with all friends and family.

Used this company 4 times before and sorry no more. The delivery is absolutely horrendous, Fed Ex put a time and not once have they been near it. As I write this still waiting for a delivery that was posted Thursday night. Was meant to be between 8.10 and 12.10 today ( Saturday ) now on website saying was expected today. Reckon meat will be unfrozen now. Will just chuck it , pointless ringing to complain as reading reviews you get no joy.

Not Donald Russell anymore

Always loved my monthly box from DR, however the company has been “taken over” since just after Christmas and does it ever show?
Standards have certainly slipped no doubt in the name of more profit , and it’s simply not worth the extra cost .
Come back high street butchers , please!

Falling Standards.

A long time customer, although less frequently now due to a growing level of dissatisfaction, I called to change a delivery date on a new order, probably the last one. I have just spent 43 minutes on hold without getting picked up. This is another symptom of the drop in standards which I fear have been brought about because of a change in ownership. Higher prices, lower quality and nobody answers the phone. Good bye Donald Russell, it has been a great 20 years but there are significantly better option available.

Ordered two T bone steaks for Valentine’s Day, but only one actually had a T bone. The other felt like an odd cut separated by gristle. Tried to contact customer services on numerous occasions but they haven’t resolved my complaint. Order date: February 11th. Order number: 1014247462

I have to say that I was sceptical about the delivery of a gift from Donald Russell but it arrived on time. Their service could be improved if they confirm the order immediately after the order is processed. Secondly, let you know when they take the money. Just make it easier to buy from them.

Their answering machine said waiting time one minute but they never answered the phone. Ingavebupbafter ibtried twice. Someone ought to streamline the working practices for them.

Extremely disappointing – poor quality and non-existent customer service

I have placed quite a few orders with Donald Russell over time, but unfortunately this will now be my last.
A recent order included diced fillet steak which was extremely poor quality. Fillet should be tender with a delicate flavour, but this was excessively tough and chewy, with none of the melt-in-the-mouth texture you would reasonably expect — especially at a premium price point. The taste was also disappointing.
I emailed to raise this complaint and received no response or even an acknowledgement. I also attempted to contact customer service by phone and email on multiple occasions regarding both the poor quality meat and subsequent issues, but no one answered and no one replied.
Most recently, I discovered that my latest order arrived missing the turkey parcels altogether, and I have still not been refunded for them.
The combination of substandard product quality, missing items, lack of refund, and completely unresponsive customer service is unacceptable. After placing several orders previously, it’s extremely disappointing that this is how matters have been handled.
Sadly, I won’t be ordering again.

Poor quality

Used a birthday gift certificate and made an order of £57. Amongst the order were some gammon steaks. We tried one pack a few days ago and they were virtually inedible due to salt. I emailed to let them know and have heard nothing. Not after anything but just thought they should know. Disappointed they couldn't even bother to acknowledge my observations. The meats weren't cheap and to be honest I think overpriced.

It was awful 0 if I could

It was an awful experience. 0 if I could. I ordered for 25 people frozen food so it has to arrive the day before. I called them the day before to confirm and nothing was mentioned about the missing items. Next day only half the food arrived. Which was pointless. Had to order pizzas. Also had to throw away half of the defrosted food. No refund was given for that. Not even a gift voucher towards next order!

I've been using Donald Russell for many…

I've been using Donald Russell for many years -their steaks really are excellent, if expensive. Trouble is, their reliability and customer service standards seem to have slipped. I ordered £200+ of steaks in November; and half was delivered on-time for Christmas, without a delivery note or message, and with half the order missing. No advice, no apology, nothing to say why. I rang - and it seemed to be my fault that they were out of stock - no apology was given just "We're out of stock". I was advised "They should be back in stock late January". I had to agree to a credit on my account, but was told "We'll let you know when they are back in stock"; they did not. I called today and told "they are back in stock and you agreed a credit", i.e. we are waiting for you to do something. I was asked why I'm unhappy that they did not, as promised, let me know about restocking and was told "we didn't know they were in stock". I have ordered replacements but am disappointed with unreliability and customer service. What has gone wrong when they were so good for years?

I wanted to order some meat and heard DR are meant to be good but read reviews on here about customer service.
I tried to phone to ask a question and after 8mins46 secs I gave up.
I don’t order from a company who I can’t contact by phone.

False Advertising!

Falsely advertising Chateaubriand on their website and the meat you receive looks nothing like it. I took pictures and sent them to the customer services to complain. It is clear that they are selling sinewy tail bits with the chain attached rather than the large middle section (which they clearly show on their website as what you will receive). I have heard nothing in response to my email and images. Waste of £60! There is zero customer service, no one to complain to or no procedure to follow when you are unhappy. Just silence, apart from the daily email advertisements for buying more meat - no thanks! Wish I had read reviews before buying. Please, don't waste your money!

Mixed quality of products

First time ordering from them. The Christmas pudding was great but not sure it was worth £20. The pastry on the beef wellington was very chewy but the meat was good. The whole chicken was fine but nothing special Vs a supermarket free range chicken. I wouldn't use them again as the quality doesn't justify the price
