The rise of online butchers

It is no secret that Britain loves its meat, and with the availability of grass fed beef in the UK, it is no surprise that more people are catching on to the benefits. The popularity of grass fed meat has ultimately led to the increasing popularity of online butchers. You can buy everything else online, why not buy meat online too?

For avid meat-eaters, a trip to the butchers would have been a regular occurrence. The quality of meat from most neighbourhood butchers is said to be high, but with the ease of access to online vendors, people now have a higher quality range from which to choose and a trustworthy place to get it from.
Online butcher shops pride themselves on offering high quality and also quantity. Their stock is often fresher and there is more to choose from so that everyone has the first pick. Some even offer trials so that the consumer is completely satisfied before they purchase their meat online.

Another way online butchers have the upper hand over neighbourhood butcher shops is the fact that there is a lot more variety. Normal butcher shops only have so much meat in store, but online butchers can order in bulk and have more time to get fresh stock in time for increases in customer demand.

Cost is another benefit of online butcher shops. They are often more affordable than normal butcher shops and provide discounts when ordering in bulk. Due to the UK’s love of grass fed meat and online shopping, the surge in popularity of online butcher shops was inevitable.
