When I was training properly I used to buy most of my meat from MF, must be six or eight years ago. The Irish grass fed beef was very high quality, as were the 5kg packs of 8-9 chicken breasts in pairs - pretty much my staples at the time.
As they've grown and added exotoca to the range (horse meat, ostrich, llama, zebra, etc) I think they've lost focus of what made them good. They were never the cheapest (although good value), but the quality was high and very convenient.
I'm not sure they're the same now.
My protein consumption has reduced dramatically these days so would struggle to make the £75 carriage paid order anyway.

I think you're right - they seem to be diverging from what they should be about (high quality natural protein/health foods) and concentrating an utter crap - foods that look like nothing more than take away junk!

I tried their ready meals package once, never again, every one was rank, ended up throwing the rest in the bin!

I buy mine from the local Asian wholesalers. 5kg for £14. And they don't mysteriously shrink when cooked either.

I received my order from them today - I always wait until they have the buy 2, get 6 hache steaks free, ended up with 18 of 'em altogether, along with 10 pave steaks, sweet potato chips, brown rice, salmon and a few sausages!

That's me sorted for a while....

Yes - we get all of our fresh meat from them (except their mince, which is weird).

I like their mince. Not ordered for ages as their constant marketing emails were annoying. I do not want to buy 2 hampers of meat every other day
