1 week ago I got my 1st order from Bacon by the Box, it was'nt good........... IT WAS FANTASTIC. Rump steak, minted lamb, sausages, bacon etc, so tasty can't wait to put my next order in. Highly recommended ******
Where do I start to write what a great service Bacon by the Box give. We live in France and have spent many years living high in the Pyrenees. One of the highlights was to receive our wonderfully fresh meats and cheeses delivered to our door. We now live further north and have continued to order our meat from this superb company. Recently our order went missing. I must stress through no fault of Bacon in a Box. I spoke with our local agent John who we have dealt with for some years and he sorted everything out with Head office. Absolutely seamless care and attention. Package dually arrived fresh and as always wonderful quality. May I recommend the turkey crowns, the ribeye steak and wonderful bacon, [to be honest most things on the list] which we have had over the years . Our thanks to you all for providing us with first class products. We can't recommend you too highly . Keep up the good work.
I placed my first order today and found your site very user-friendly. I was also impressed by the efficiency of the system. I will recommend to all my friends. I am sure that your business will thrive. Best wishes
We use Bacon by the Box all the time. Amazing food that is not that expensive. Give it a try.
Thank you very much! The order arrived today all correct and on time. We had lovely sausages for lunch and there will be bacon rolls for tea. Living in France is even better now you have arrived. THANK YOU.
Bonne Année
Dear John, Shane and Team. With a piddle of a pension I latch on to another group which orders from you (organised by Wilna in Laurens). I had to write to say a huge thank you for your superb sausages and cheese. Will be latching on to the next order! Yours sincerely.
Hi. Just wanted to wish you all a very happy new year and thank you for being who you are. I wish all companies were as efficient and user friendly. Carry on being wonderful. We and our little group of friends, French as well as British, really appreciate you. Kindest regards, Lucy
Hi. I would like to wish you a happy new year & to thank you for our orders over the past year. All the products were exactly as advertised & the meat products were especially good. We have recommended you to our friends & family & wish you every success.
Hello. I am writing to express my thanks and admiration for your superb service. My order arrived here in South Western France today exactly as promised. If the goods taste as wonderful as the service I shall be a very happy person. Many Thanks to your whole team.
Hi guys. Have today received our first order from yourselves. Super impressed with the service and the products. Gammon is on the menu for tomorrow's dinner..can't wait. Thanks again. Kind regards.
Hi guys. Received our order today. First one for a while, but it definitely won't be the last!! Have just eaten a beautiful stuffed pork steak from Lisduggan Farm. What a delight! Absolutely delicious. Tender, tasty, and yes, we'll definitely be getting that again. Big thanks to John and all the gang at Bacon by the Box, and also everyone at Lisduggan Farm.
Dear Bacon by the Box,
I’ve just been through my first order with you. It was simple to order, I was told when it would arrive, and it did! I can’t believe it’s that simple AND efficient - thank you.
Thanks again for our order, on time as always.
Thank you. It came this morning. Your deliveries are really organised and the produce is really good. Your after service is good too. You replied to my email very quickly so thank you again.
Thank you for another seamless delivery, stocked up for another few months with lovely bacon and sausage’s.
Today, in Provence, we had to defrost the freezer. I found a box of Cooked turkey, hidden from last Christmas. So, without any doubt, it was superb. With pasta and the gravy/ jus.
Bacon by the box…you are tops.
Thank you so much to all your team for going the extra mile in sourcing and providing the Geetas Mango Chutney, which arrived today, it is very much appreciated. It is customer service, a willingness to try and attention to detail like that that always makes a company outshine.
Another delivery today in the heart of France of our favourite sausages and cheese, I have never in all my 67 years tasted such flavoursome sausages and cheddar cheese. For us, there can be no other.
My parcel arrived bang on time this morning - can’t wait to start eating it (though not all at once!) Thank you again for such splendid products! Have a nice day
I'm just writing to say how much your delivery has cheered up a rainy day, on which the car has broken down and my wife has been away in England on family business.
I fell upon my parcel like the proverbial Assyrian (to mix a metaphor) and enjoyed my first bacon baguette in months. Even the dog, missing his mistress, was cheered up as he munched on bacon rind from my plate.
We may have Foie Gras in the larder (from our Christmas hamper) but it is no match for your bacon and sausage. So if anyone should ask what you do for a living, you can tell them that you are a mental health specialist supporting the emotional well-being of the ex-pat community - I only wish your products were available on prescription!
I recently put a fresh order in for myself and a few friends. First time I have used this company.
WOW!!! Everyone is extremely happy with all that was ordered. Sirloin steak, succulent, tasty. Cheese, yummy. Bacon, tasty and no water. Gammon steaks, humungous, tasty. Cream, so good to have proper cream back in my life. Black pudding, so yummy. Basically we will be back for more in the near future.
Thank you.
Ordered some lamb chops and a Leg of Lamb also. First time I’ve had lamb in France, for 14 years, because I cannot stand the smell of mutton cooking. Lesson to be learned - order more than you think you’ll need as they are gorgeous.
Just a brief note to say that my order arrived today as planned. Chronofresh delivered on time and the contents of the carton were exactly as ordered. I am very impressed with your whole order and delivery process. AND living in France did not have to endure some of the problems in receiving goods from UK that I and others have had to endure.
Thank You!
I have been using Bacon by the Box for the past 9 years and have never had a problem. Delivery is always on time and the quality and taste of the products are delicious.
It is a great company, good quality, delivery to the door and always arrives when it is due to arrive. Price is competitive and fair. Would highly recommend them as a company.
It’s a fabulous product and service.
Had both our First Meat and dry goods orders delivered today in France, Tuesday. They were only collected on Friday, last. Superb Service, and quality, Excellent. Highly recommended. You try these things with a tad of nervousness, but we are delighted to commend this company, to any other expats in France. Thank you. This will be the first of many orders.
Love the food, service & delivery fantastic.
Thanks again for a great service, received parcels on time and quality of food is so good. Would recommend this service.
We did our (lamb) shoulder stuffed, it was gorgeous. Sorry, no pics but a lovely cut from Bacon by the Box!
I can highly recommend the pork/black pudding sausages. Just had them in the airfryer at 170 degrees for 12 minutes. Lovely jubbly
Received our order, the fourth so far, as usual perfectly packed and nicely chilled.
First order from you. Fantastic turkey crown was the best we have had for a long time. In fact my hubby can’t stop talking about it. Will be back in the New Year for another order. Happy New Year to you all.
Minted lamb shanks last night were delicious
Loving the mince & onion pies - had them with mash and liquor - a taste of London in France!
The black pudding sausages are amazing!!
I regularly use this company for the quality and value of their product and their efficiency. I have never been let down or disappointed.
We had the turkey crown with visiting family last week and it was excellent. We've also tried the beef and ale pies, delicious and the bacon is lovely too, not at all leathery.
As my name suggests, I doubted whether quality fresh meat could be brought here at the price! But I was proved wrong, admit it, and am happy to tell that as a further recommendation for bacon by the box. I had heard/read the rumours on things like Angloinfo about price, quality, transport, etc, etc. (what a 'sad world' we live in some times) but what a load of codswallop. Best quality gammon I have had in years, great value and delivered in a proper fridge van! Keep it up John and keep proving the doubters wrong!
John, As soon as you left after your dawn delivery this morning, we had bacon sandwiches to try-out the Clonakilty Mild Cure - it was excellent - Ta!
Been buying from John almost from the beginning. You can not get better. Whether you have bought from ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury, you will not get better than "baconbythebox" bacon. The price is incredible and is always delivered on time with a smile. Wonderful bacon with a wonderful service. Highly recommended.
Can recommend products which I do!! Pies, cheese, bacon and black puddings are the favourites with us. All very nice and tasty. Regularly order from you since our first time. Delivery is also a great asset. Thank you
Fab service, all very fresh, great Meat & Pies are deep & very meaty..
Faultless service, delivery as quoted. Everything in our order was exceptional quality and taste. The back bacon is absolutely delicious. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you so much for offering this service.
From my recent order, having now sampled the Traditional sausages, Bacon and Gammon, I can confirm the product is top quality and delicious. Will not hesitate to use again in the future.
Full marks from me for the very tasty smoked back bacon. Have yet to try our gammon, but my friend has and was delighted. She said that it reminded her of gammon from the olden days, with real taste and lovely texture. So glad we have found Bacon by the Box. Im sure that we will be regular customers for many years to come. The delivery service is in itself a godsend. Many thanks John.
Great bacon. No more buying in Tescos.
Happy to have just placed my second order and already salivating at the thought of the bacon butty I shall have seconds after delivery! The quality of the bacon is superb. Don't hesitate; just order now!
Hi John, have tried your bacon, sausages, pasties and cream, ab fab! I tell everyone who will listen to order from you, this saves asking all our friends having to go shopping for us in England. Thank you for providing this wonderful service.
Bacon and Gammon arrived in chiller van and both look very lean and well dated, tried a bacon Bap straight away Yummy. Can highly recommend.
I love all your stuff and buy it on a regular basis, but when you told me you did " Curried Chicken Pies " Well I could`nt wait !
I was NOT disapointed ! I so missed them since moving to France. So hope you can add them to my weekly order PLEASE ?
I said I would give you my opinion re sausages and the cheese. As you will know I had a box of Butcher's sausages and a box of traditional. Well you said you adore the traditional, well so do I. The others are ok but not as good as the Trad's. The mature cheddar is just fantastic too. No more 500 km trips to Tesco/Asda for the fresh shop, I will stick with you. Thanks for the wonderful service.
I was completely pleased and delighted with our Turkey, Rib Beef and all the other items we ordered from you. We shall be ordering again. Thank you
If it's good enough for Frances Hook then it's good enough for all of us choral brethren!!!
Frances Hook says...
I served your cocktail sausages to my French guests with the apritif and they loved them! Fried, blotted off the excess fat, then while hot tossed them in honey and grainy mustard, gorgeous!
Just had a Bacon By The Box Christmas breakfast, bacon, sausages, black pudding... For my French family, delicious! Thanks John!
Just had my order delivered in a proper refrigerated van and the bacon and gammon. Was really good and at the right price. Will use your company all the time for fresh bacon. Thanks for a really good service
Just had the T bone steak for dinner tonight, Melted in the mouth, excellent can recommend it. better than french beef any day. will be ordering more tried it on our French friends who enjoyed it but puzzled by it's looks never seen T bone steak before.
Thank you
Love the steaks
Met John at the Angloinfo expo at Dinan a few weeks back, but I had already placed my order a few days before. A delivery day was fixed and John confirmed the actual time the evening before the due date. He arrived with my box of smoked back bacon at 0830. At 0900 it was in the pan and a few minutes later tested and tasted. All I can say is that it is wonderful. The only thing I now have to do is pack it into smaller bags and get it into the freezer. The price is good, the product is good and the service is excellent. Thanks John, you will be coming back this way again.
Thank you for the delivery. The only problem with it so far is that both the cheese and the sausages do not seem to keep very well! I put them in my fridge and they were eaten far too quickly, so think I will personally have to order more next time ☺I've already been told that the pork was delicious but haven't got round to eating ours yet. Look forward to our next one.
The Gammon joint was SUPERB. Your sausages were the best ever and your bacon was delicious. I would like a box of unsmoked bacon and a box of smoked. Thanks. Would be interested in cheddar cheese please ? The mature
Thought we would try sausages and black pudding with our Xmas order, I can recommend both these items from John. I am looking forward to trying the cheddar as soon as John get some. Keep up the good work John
At last! We have a delicious haggis from Bacon by the Box! First time since we moved to France in 2020. Thank you to all at BBTB for great products and excellent service!
Have to say that the Turkey crown was out of this world. So moist that it was Christmas dinner, Boxing Day sandwiches and day after Turkey curry. Just refused to dry out. Black pudding used with scallops. And the most amazing smoked bacon. Thank you so much for such brilliant service and excellent products.
