bulk buy chicken & steak

anyone ever used these guys or a similar company?

22 x 227g (5kg ish) of chicken breast for £32

6x 5-6oz Aberdeen Angus Steaks for about the same price.


probably saving about £20 for a similar amount of chicken from tesco.

well it arrived safe and sound. in fact the packaging was excellent. The box was solid enough, lined with some pretty thick foam and packed with those frozen bags.

Im going to cook a bunch tonight and freeze the rest. certainly looks nice!
