In our busy lives, shopping online is one way of creating more time for yourself. You may be wondering how to find a good online butcher in London.
We’ve gone through this process ourselves and have detailed below some of the factors we considered when making our decision.
Product range
First off, what exactly are you seeking from your online butcher – basic meat cuts that you can use to create some culinary masterpieces yourself or ready-made dishes that you can just heat and serve on a busy work night, without the fuss of making sure you have all the ingredients, not to mention doing the dreaded washing up?
Perhaps you would like to have the choice of glamorous and much-loved dishes, like Beef Wellington, for a special occasion, and ‘heat and serve’ meals that will delight guests for a catered event?
Service and reliability
If you’re using an online butcher in London for special occasions – ones where anything going wrong could make or break the event and your blood pressure – the quality of service provided and their reliability in delivery is crucial.
Word of mouth is always a trusty way of finding butchers that may suit your needs. Alternatively, you may like to check out online review sites to see others’ experiences.
Price
How do the prices at online butchers you’re considering compare, pound for pound?
Delivery areas and charges
Crucially, does the online butcher deliver to your part of London? Some butchers only deliver to suburbs near their stores. Others will deliver nationwide.
In addition, how far in advance do you need to order? Can they do same-day delivery or only the next day? You can shop online for meat from Parson’s Nose, which can deliver it straight to your home in time
We found quite considerable differences in delivery fees, too, which can add up over time.
Who owns the business?
If you like to support mum and dad businesses, rather than large corporations, you may also like to know who owns the business.
Our decision
After we went through this process, we determined that Parson’s Nose meets our needs. They have a fantastic range of products, including chicken, fish, wagyu, charcuterie, pasta, pies, soups and even coffee. You can shop online. They offer same-day delivery in West London and next-day delivery nationwide. They’ve also been around since 2007 and are still family-owned.
