🥩 Fresh vs Frozen – What to Expect
Will my Christmas meat arrive fresh or frozen?
All meat is vacuum-packed and chilled unless stated otherwise.
-
Fresh Products: suitable for freezing; freeze on arrival if storing longer
-
Frozen Products: may partially thaw during delivery; do not refreeze if fully defrosted
❄️ Storage Advice
-
Vacuum-packed beef: 3–5 days in the fridge
-
Longer storage: freeze on arrival; use within 3 months
-
Freezing your Christmas order: Most products can be frozen safely; check individual labels
