The Riverford meatbox - current boxes (click for contents ) |
 |
When we first launched the Riverford meatbox it took the form of a fortnightly changing box containing a roast, a selection of meat cuts, and family-friendly items such as sausages and bacon - therby satisfying household culinary needs from Sunday lunch to mid-week suppers and hearty breakfasts. We have held fast to that initial concept in the form of the small, medium and large boxes which continue to change fortnightly for variety and to reflect seasonal changes in cooking style (braising meats for winter later make way for burgers for the barbecue in summer, for example). They vary in size to suit different household requirements. These boxes come complete with the Newsletter and a Riverford 'taster' - a culinary freebie from us to you.
The Meat Box can be supplimented with items from our extensive extras list. You may also, if you wish, order exclusively from this list to make up your own bespoke box (with the sole condition that the order be a minimum of £25).
In direct response to customer demand for a gluten-free box we introduced the nothing but meat box - as a derivative of the medium meatbox it contains only meat cuts and no processed items. The nothing but meat box (gluten-free) is also available together with an optional breakfast pack (this is not gluten-free). |

Firstly, thanks to Dinah Ellis from Weymouth who emailed us this:
‘I just wanted to say what excellent value we think your “Winter Warmer” box is, and how we are enjoying using the delicious meat it contains. The larger quantities suit us, as although there are only two in the household most of the time, we can split the finished dish or cater for larger family visits.
An idea for breast of lamb: my Mum taught me to use it for curries, as it can take a good long cooking time - the flavours get into the meat, and the fat renders out. An over-night cooling, and then the fat can be removed from the surface easily. Yum!...'

We listen to our customer feedback and in response to it we introduced firstly the Riverford meat for freezer boxes (chicken box, pork box, beef box and lamb box)and then the steak box, and beef fillet. These boxes are for those who wish to bulk buy their favourite organic fresh meat for home freezing - the steak box and - even more so - the beef fillet being at the luxury end of the meat box spectrum. They are very competitively priced - click here for more details and box contents. |

| meatbox contents for fortnight 1 - 14 March 2010 |
|
|
|
These are the contents of the current fortnight's boxes. When ordering, please bear in mind that the contents of your box do not depend on the date of your order but on the date of delivery. Occasionally we have to make adjustments but publicise them as soon as we can. The item weights quoted are average weight, the total box weight is a minimum weight. Please note that in the event of an unforseen shortage of items we reserve the right to make a suitable substitution - in the event of this happening we hope that this does not cause disappointment. *weights of boxes containing stock bones will vary & total weight is therefore approximate.
We have introduced the winter warmer box to take you through the colder months. Full of cuts that are ideal for slow cooking to beat the chill it is also a low cost option. With a carcass for stock you have the base ingredients for some great stews, casseroles, soups and pies (click here for an idea of what you could make with the contents of a winter warmer box). |
