I received my Prize Draw hamper recently and it was some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted. Thank you very much.

evon Rose produce is second to none, the ham is to die for and their turkeys, well all the meat - excellent quality.Customer service is fantastic. If you hven't tried Deveon Rose meats - you haven't tasted the best.

Just to thank you. I just got my first delivery, and had a bacon sarnie this morning….bloody marvelous! I will be recommending you.

... received last week was AMAZING! Brilliant packaging, everything arrived very quickly, the ice in the pack had not even melted in any way. And what fantastic meat.... I'm well and truly hooked!

We recently discovered your fabulous bacon in our local ASDA store in Plymouth- alas they have not stocked it again, please can you tell me where else we could find it local to Plymouth

I have to say that the veal (welfare friendly) was absolutely fantastic - cooked it in milk and it was divine! Please keep offering it!!!

The haggis are amazing. Really taste fantastic. I've managed half a one with some potatoes and gravy and I am stuffed full! Really wonderful rustic, full, meaty flavour. Thankyou for selling them, please pass on my compliments.

for an un-stuffed turkey visit http://www.devonrose.com M&S and some of the other chains may sell pre-stuffed birds this Christmas, but they are unlikely to come from such ethical producers. 14 November 2006

Commended supplier 12 February 2005

Delicious! 30 April 2006

"Devon Rose has long been one of my favourite meat suppliers especially when it comes to pork. All its pigs are free-range and traditionally raised, which shows in the quality of its meat. I recently tried the beetroot cured apple smoked streaky bacon- and it was fantastic. The beetroot adds sweetness but never overwhelms while the smoke is just right. Even my wife- an avowed beetroot hater pronounced the bacon "sublime", 19 February 2006

A great hamper is a thing of beauty, an edible missive of goodwill. Thinking of spending £5,000 on a hamper from Harrods? You're better off creating one yourself. A box filled with Devon Rose smoked bacon... and the very freshest free range eggs means pure breakfast bliss, with not a jot going to waste.

Exquisite flavours. 18 November 2004

Fantastically porky sausages! 18 October 2005

I have been a customer for quite a while and everything I have bought has been of excellent quality, and it's great to be able to buy farmed and wild meats from the same place. The website is very user-friendly and the service is absolutely first class, nothing is too much trouble. Having previously thought nothing but organic is good enough, since reading the Devon Rose charter and tasting the results for myself, I am reluctant to buy my meat from anywhere else.

Devon Rose are great. There's a fabulous selection of meat and the prices are excellent. There's background info on the welfare standards and breeds of all the animals they keep.As well as the usual meat and game, they sell home made products such as Scotch eggs, hams and pates. They thoughtfully cater for allergies and dietary preferences (reduced fat, gluten free), and sell a unique chemical free bacon that's pinked up with beetroot instead of potassium nitrite. They sell meat boxes which can be personalised and are very good value and quality. The sausages are gorgeous - I'm making myself hungry just thinking about them!

Many thanks, turkeys and chickens...they tasted wonderful!

Many thanks for the recent order you sent and for the great service you provide. Merry Christmas to all at Devon Rose!

Many thanks for such superb service! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

my sons & I had the lamb leg fillet last night for dinner and we have never tasted anything like it before it was beautiful

Just to say my first order, a gammon joint, arrived today at 1pm. It looks fantastic, I am sure it I will be ordering from you in the future. Many thanks for a great delivery service.

I was a HUGE fan of your excellent course pork pate when I shopped at the Fresh 'n' Wild store in Westbourne Grove (London) but sadly since the West London branch of F&W closed I've been unable to buy it. I sorely miss my weekly fix of Devon Rose pate!

I must say that you’re delivery guys are always so lovely and polite. My little Jarod (and the reason for my missing marbles) has the pleasure of eating your fab produce!

Had the lamb last night with friends, absolutely beautiful meat I think they will be contacting you soon for a regular box too!

We have found Devon Rose meat to be consistently high in quality and taste, and the service is spot-on. Thank you!

The pate was excellent!!!

Thanks alot for the continued delicious meat.

Astonishly good sausages, made from 1920's recipe and crafted from rare-breed landrace pigs. Coarse mInce escapes at the ends when cooked, so two crisp bites of sausages, plus the juicy middle. Voted BEST TRADITIONAL & EDITORS CHOICE October 2007

You guys rock!. Andrew

Must say you have got one very satisfied customer here. Will have a look for my Christmas shop.

We really enjoyed the (nitrate free) bacon (We bought it for our autistic toddler but none of us could resist the crispy yellow fat - my veggie teenager was very nearly tempted!)

I had my first order from you a few weeks ago and completely filled my freezer. The meat was just about the best I've ever had,

Devon Rose are friendly, helpful and efficient. I have found their regular boxes to be not only full of a delicious variety of high quality meats but also very good value. I cannot think how I could rate them more highly.

I have a Devon Rose box each month and it is always of the highest quality and the taste is exceptional - my family have noticed! The staff are extremely helpful and accomodating when you change things!

Thanks for the meat! It arrived as fresh as a daisy and deliciously tempting. We had steaks when Iain and Trina arrived.....yummy. Now all I have to do is pay for it!

The food is wonderful, Its sold by people who are passionate about their products, who appreciate their customers and they dont get cross when you phone them and change your orders on very short notice

I have probably enjoyed meat from as many premium British suppliers as anyone and Devon Rose win on quality, value and service hands down. Their chicken is fantastic, the sausages brilliant and the bacon is unbeatable. They are the ultimate in Slow Food.

Meat at its finest, the type of produce that always ends up with a 'Thanks Mum' at the end of a meal. From bar-b-q to formal dinners you will be more than satisfied with the quality of meat.

Thank you very much - the delivery was prompt and the packaging excellent. It's going to take us a while to work our way through all that meat (I think I'd underestimated how much there would be) but if the standard of the meat is up to the standard of the service you'll definitely be hearing from me regularly in the future.

consistent high quality; excellent offers; superb communication; an innovative up to date style aligned with old fashioned taste; service and presentation

Lovely tender meat - great service!

The meat is amazing, the customer service is second to none, what more can you ask for?

Dear Richard, We had a lovely evening, thank you. Full Choral Evensong followed by a barbecue in the church grounds with gorgeous weather, so we were really lucky. Your burgers and sausages went down very well. Many people asked me about them and said how delicious they were. Several took away the cards you sent - so maybe you will have a few more customers! Many thanks for your service, Ginette

They supply the tastiest steaks in the south west.

Love Devon Rose. Excellent sausages and burgers and the pastrami is to die for!

Lovely fab quality meat at a great price. Superb quality and friendly personal service.

THE QUALITY OF PRODUCE AND THE FRIENDLINESS OF THE ENTIRE STAFF IS AMAZING.

When my sister was very unwell I sent one of the Devon Rose mixed hampers, it was far better than flowers. I am a huge fan of traditionally reared, slower growing breeds. For meat with taste and texture, it is a welcome change from all that is usually offered; their boxes parachute in meat with character. When we recieved a surprise early cash christmas present, I went straight online and ordered a christmas hamper. It was magnificant, the contents kept us going for months.

Beautiful Nitrate Free Bacon . Very friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful meat - I was very lucky to win one of their hampers on their weekly draw (if you register on their website.) So I was able to sample lots of their delicious products.

i have dealt with them for years and they cater for my diabetic and cholesterol needs in every way. Nothing is too much trouble for the whole team.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff - the meat is so tasty and tender that I have a freezer full.

Thank you Basil & Mary. Delicious sausages and bacon!

Parcel received with thanks. The sausages are delicious.Thanks again

We had some of your ham the other day from Waitrose and it was delicious so just wanted to register so that we can buy some more in the future.

The bacon was fabulous!

Many thanks for an excellent box. Very pleased with the contents, we’re looking forward to making it vanish……

Excellent service and food exceptional. Use them to send boxes to my parents in Devon and will continue to do so - highly recommended

We're thoroughly enjoying eating our way through your delicious sausages. There were lots of compliments about both them and the bacon at the show. We look forward to doing business with you again soon. P.S. My nine year old son, Sam, a sausage connoisseur, says yours are the best he's ever eaten- a true compliment!

Not many companies would deliver a free range Xmas order from Devon to Kent on Christmas Eve! Great service, great driver and great food.

I will just take this opportunity to say what a fantasic service you provide. The quality of your produce is second to none.

I have been a Devon Rose customer for about 3 years now and from day 1 have received the best customer service ever. I mainly buy from the free from range as my son has many dietary restrictions and Devon Rose are happy to make sausages and cure bacon to our requirements. Service is fast efficient and always friendly, I cannot recommend them highly enough

Very quick response to enquiries. I was particularly interested in Devon Rose's free-from range. Nitrate-free bacon et cetera.

Fantastic produce quality and great variety. The best and most efficient customer service I have ever experienced. Devon Rose make you feel as if you are their only customer.

Excellent quality, price, and delivery. Devon Rose really care about their products, ethics, and their customers. Really tasty meats and sausages. My advice would be to place your order today!

The Greatest supplier of quality meats arround . We have been customers for the last 5 years and have never recieved anything other than a first class service and products, We had one small hiccup which was sorted by the next day. The are all superstars good luck Richard. x

I am just writing quickly to let you know that I have really enjoyed the meat boxes I have had (2 so far). Everything has been delicious, especially the lamb. And the service has been exceptional. My mother is a farmer (in North West Spain) so I am keenly aware of how good things can taste - her lamb and kid meat is out of this world, her chickens graze freely and eat good things - it makes a real difference. I just wish this kind of experience could become universal and the norm.

We have thoroughly enjoyed everything we have received in the boxes - the duck and the joint of beef and the bacon we received the last time were particularly AMAZING! I'd never cooked a whole duck before so the meat box has also enabled us to try cooking cuts of meat that we hadn't done before!

Thanks so much, Richard! Your food is always my father-in-law’s favorite gift.

received your hamper on Thursday, you said Thursday and Thursday it was. It was refreshing in itself to receive something on the day that it was expected to arrive. What a wonderful hamper it was! Full of everything that anyone would be really pleased to have gotten. Had the lamb yesterday, moist, thick, tender and full of flavour. But as little as I know you, I know that what you put in your prize hampers you see as a reflection of you and your standards and you wouldn`t send out anything that you wouldn`t be thrilled to have. Thank you so very much.

Just tried a pack of your chipolata sausages, which I bought from a deli in Dorchester.Fantastic. Have been to farmers markets, specialists, and always been disappointed with so called "old fashioned sausages". These really hit the spot. Best bangers I have had for years. These bangers are superb. Tasty, succulent, juicy (without excess fat spillage) don't shrink, don't split, and not over salted. Fabulous. I shall spread the word.

Hello Richard,Just wanted to tell you that your bacon is delicious,especially the smoked,thanks so much;it's great to eat bacon without the sodium nitrite,I will definately order again!!

We are very pleased indeed with not only the customer service from Devon Rose, but also the quality of everything in the box so far has been fantastic!!!!

As ever, thanks for all your help. All our dealings have been prompt and friendly and I recommend you endlessly to anyone who will listen, as everything we have had from you has been fabulous. I am looking forward to trying the cheese!

Excellent level of customer service where every wish comes true.

We are so pleased with the bacon, the difference is amazing -

I am a new customer and so far have only ordered once from you, but we were eating your Chicken Supremes last night which were superb and will be having the rib of beef we received on Sunday and so far we have been really impressed with your meat – thank you.

Thank you for the extras Richard, they were much appreciated. Also just wanted to say how much we love the piri-piri chicken kebabs they really are fantastic.

Richard, it was lovely to meet you at last. Hope you had a restful Christmas.As usual the turkey was fantastic - nothing was left. The animals enjoyed their treat as well. Gammon etc all lovely . No complaints at all. Wishing you a Happy New Year. Louise

Just to say we were delighted with our turkey and ham at Christmas, It is the best we have tasted. Having worked as a food buyer for years, I have eaten a lot and all our guests commented too. Thank you very much. Wishing you and your staff the very best in 2007.

Hi Richard, I thought I would send you a personal thank you for the turkey, rib of beef and gammon, together with sausages. The delivery was made on the correct day as was stated and the guy was friendly and courteous, even though he had made and still had many deliveries to do! Thanks Richard. Glad the new website is up and running now!!!!

The bacon tases just like the bacon of my child hood and the Scotch Eggs you could die for they are the best that I have tasted in my 57 years of eating.

Thank you so much for providing us with such excellent eating over the Christmas period. I was so pleased to be able to order a free range Turkey crown which was absolutely delicious. The loin of pork was also one of the tastiest I've ever had. I was particularly impressed with your administration, the speed in answering my queries by e-mail and phone, and by the care taken in packaging and delivery of my order. I have already passed on your name to several friends and will continue to do so whenever I can. Thanks again.

Wonderful turkey again, but the real star was the ham - everyone was bowled over by it!

Wonderful hamper, and fantastic customer service. I had to change the delivery address three times but it was never a problem and everything arrived in perfect condition in the right place at the right time. Fantastic

Christmas has arrived in a box ! Many thanks to all as Devon Rose for makeing Christmas yet again what would it be without you? Wishing you a wonderful Christmas of gastronomic delight.

Just a quick word to say thank you very much for our lovely hamper. For a vegetarian i think i will enjoy it!!!!!! Some decent meat at last!!!!! That's what makes Christmas for us!

Dear All, I have just recieved my christmas order and I just want to say a big thank you. The meat looks really great. thank you very much. Best wishes to all of you for christmas and the new year.

We've loved everything we've received so far and have been spreading the word!

I recently ordered items from you for my uncle in shetland, just to let you know they all arrived safely and he is delighted so thanks.

Thank you for the xmas box for my family , they where impressed !!!

The hamper is wonderful and I will definitely use you again

The best you can buy.

Regarding our regular box. We've fed guests and gotten so many meals out of it that we're still working through my ready-made meals from the freezer. So thanks for the wonderful stuff! I'm thinking of perhaps making a Mexican Turkey mole poblano for this Thanksgiving time period with the beautiful turkey crown we got...yummmm.I hope you and your family and all at Devon Rose have a wonderful holiday season!

I have to date only bought organic chicken but having bought your free range chicken a few times from Fresh and Wild (and your utterly delicious bacon!), I found it to be the only chicken comparable to the organic I've had (in fact probably better!)

We received our first order the other week and last night savoured the venison steaks ...which were absolutely delicious ! Trust this finds you in good form ...not too busy ...and most certainly NOT committed ...hmmmmm lol

Just wanted to say that my partner had the venison medallions tonight and said that they were melt in the mouth texture, out of this world whilst I was on the phone to him, in France and jealous!

I have been a Devon Rose customer for a while now. I find the regular meat boxes are a perfect accompaniment to my regular vegetable boxes. I always enjoy the meats, and the value for money is fantastic. I Would highly recommend to others

I just wanted to email and say how pleased we are with our family box. We received our first one on Friday and roasted the pork joint on Sunday - it was the most delicious piece of pork i've ever tasted. We can't wait to try everything else now!

the quality of the products is second to none. the customer service is fantastic. everything i have tried is absolutely great and i just will not go anywhere else. thanks for all your hard work and keep it going!

Fantastic meat, and really good value. The customer service, and sense that you are dealing with real people who really care about what they are doing, makes the whole experience a pleasure.

The meat is simply the best, great service and fantastic value for money. Now I cannot eat meat from anywhere else - I am hooked to Devon Rose and recommend everyone to try for themselves.

I receive a regular food parcel from Devon Rose - what a treat. The lamb steaks last night were just gorgeous. The venison steaks are to die for and their fillet steaks are indescribably good. The service isimpeccable and the products are extremely good value for money, given the quality of the produce.

A family run business which makes every customer feel special. Their food is second to none. Their efficiency and prompt deliveries unquestionable. I was so happy to discover this outlet and each Christmas we have a hamper from them which is excellent value for money. They will even make up hampers to your own requirements - ie. if you have a relative (ie mother in my case) living on their own, sometimes packs of meat can be too big. Devon Rose will find out what they like and size the packs accordingly. Therefore no waste and even more value for money. You feel like an individual and a very special customer when you contact them. I cannot praise this company enough - vegetarians don't know what they're missing!!

They sell the tastiest meat at excellent value, and their customer service is second to none, thats why we go back time and time again.

I have used Devonrose (Mary, Basil & Richard) since nearly day one. I can't fault them or their excellent produce in anyway. We use most of their produce in Corn Exchange, Hailsham & customers can't get enough! Thankyou all. Carol

The meat is delicious and tastes incredible.The ham is to die for Customer service is second to none I can't rate these guys highly enough - fantastic!

Fantastic home cured and smocked gammon and bacon out of this world

Customer service is second to none and the meat is absolutely 1st class. So tasty. It's great to know that animal welfare is important to them. Their regular boxes are amazing value for money and always a great selection. I can't recommend Devon Rose highly enough - they are amazing!

I've been buying from Richard and the gang for nearly 3 years now, and I can't fault them on quality, (everyone says Mmmmmmm as they tuck into their dinner in my house now!), service and value for money. I promise, if you try their bacon, sausages, steaks or any of the other yummy cuts on offer you'll never buy from the supermarket again - I haven't! Meat how it SHOULD taste. Keep up the good work guys, you deserve to win this award. Lorna in Bath :-)
