Meat for a Week June
Our specially designed for busy households - Meat for a Week Service - where you can cook some Cuts straight away, keep some in the fridge - or pop some into the freezer for the end of the week.
No need to buy for every single day
No need to buy for every single day - just buy for the days you need - be it for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner - or for that Special Occasion
The disappointment of the supermarket visit
Not every customer has time to visit our shop in their busy lives - and some would like the convenience of all the week’s - or month’s - Meat requirements taken care of in one go.
So now you can Click and Collect or have Godfreys Premium Quality Meats and Poultry delivered in one box - Nationwide direct to your door - with something new to enjoy every day - without having to resort to the disappointment of the supermarket visit.
It wasn’t really our idea.
It’s what many of our customers already do - and they have grown to rely upon it so much we thought we should share the idea with all of our customers.
Rather than offer pre-chosen quantities and selections - we have tried to emulate what many of our customers already do to help them in their busy lives.
We soon realised that many households may have two people in one day, and maybe six the next, so fixed quantities was not such a good idea.
We also realised that different required different Meat preferences.
So the best choice was to create on our Website a tab for each day of the week showing our customers top preferences for that day so make your choice easier - and quicker!
That way you can work through the days with easy choices, and you can also decide what quantities will suit that day.
Your entire Weekly Meat shopping in minutes
Just start on a day and make a choice - add it to your cart - and within a few minutes you will have completed your entire weekly, fortnightly or monthly Meat requirements - tailored precisely to your personal requirements and taste.
The daily selections naturally reflect the changing seasonal changes each month.
As we enter June, we have updated our Meat for a Week tab on our Web site to reflect what becomes more popular - and seasonal in June - and hopefully help make your choices less time consuming and easier
Farmers’ delight
June is named after the Roman goddess Juno. The month of June is a particularly popular month for weddings - perhaps because Juno was the goddess of marriage
June is also our farmers’ delight and joy - where promise and fulfillment blend and burst out in the growth of crops and newborns
Bright sunny days and pleasant evenings start to usher in the delights of Summer
With ingredients from Beef, Pork, Lamb to Wood Pigeon and Rabbit at their best, now is the time to eat seasonal!
Enjoy the start of Summer
With Summer now fully underway we can start to enjoy Fennel, Globe Artichokes, Lettuces, Rocket, Watercress, Spinach, juicy Peas, Broad Beans, Peppers, Sorrel, Spinach, English Tomatoes, French Beans, Chicory, Samphire, Spring Onions and Radishes
Lamb, Beef, Diced Cuts and smaller Meat Cuts including our Mini Roasts start to gain popularity as the weather warms with Gammon remaining a favourite for those who like to make their own Roast Hams
Racks of Lamb and Lamb Noisettes are particularly in great demand
And of course, the Barbecue Cuts really start to come into their own in June
If you are having an early Barbecue in addition to the usual favourites - do try our Boerewors Sausages - South Africa’s favourite Beef Sausage - the full story is on the www.Godfreys.co Sausage page
Quick-to-prepare - and - Quick-to-cook
With Meat for a Week, we find that the quick-to-prepare - and quick-to-cook recipes dominate Monday to Fridays - whilst the weekend is when the longer cooking big guns have their day
Some of our super organized customers make a big casserole or stew for weekdays that can last a few days and can be quickly heated up and served when they get home
Our featured Seasonal meat this month - Free Range Dry-Aged Beef - has been covered in detail in our “What’s in Season” article sent earlier this week - and currently available during the whole of June on our Website
