Bulk buy meat, chicken and fish
Discussion
Can anyone recommend an online store that allows customers to bulk buy meat/fish for delivery?
Currently i bulk buy from Costco, their Kirkland range is ok and not the worst. It's far better than what can be found in the supermarkets.
However, I'm starting to notice that the quality of the fish in one of the stores is below usual standards. It just smells off as soon as it's back home.
If i make a 40 mile round trip to the next nearest store, the quality of food is back to normal. But i feel that's too far to travel.
So i'd like to try an online order to see how that compares.

When you say bulk buy, do you mean you want it cheap or want quality?
I used to have a fieldandflower.co.uk subscription, but it was pricey. The meat quality was definitely a step up from the supermarkets but below top notch butchers like The Ginger Pig, who also do bulk mail order deliveries (used by the Hawksmoor steak house chain). The price reflected this, in the main, I’ve found you get what you pay for.
Sorry, no idea about cheap ones.
I found my local Aldi ‘specially selected’ free range chicken, free range pork and dry aged beef is acceptable and good value so I just buy that now.

Ah, ok. So I don't mean low quality cheap meat, in bulk.
But rather bulk buying as in a big box of different types of meat.
For example I would pick up 4 packs of side salmon, about 5Kg, 2 packs of chicken breasts 6Kg, then there's the meat which is another 7-8Kg.
In one shopping trip.
Just find a good local butcher, surely that is easier. My local butcher will sell you as much as you want to buy. He has even been known to knock a bit off the price when buying a lot. You can even phone him and he will get it ready for you to collect, even does deliveries Its almost exactly what you need.But rather bulk buying as in a big box of different types of meat.

Unfortunately my local butcher is the Giger Pig, no local butchers that i know of.
But i do recall that where my mother lives in Kent, there's a local butchers that's been there for decades. So will have a chat with them, to see if it's possible for them to put something together.
