Meat for a Week September

Godfreys Meat for a Week - September

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 - or to enjoy over the next three months!

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

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. 

Avoid the disappointment of the supermarket visit

So now you can Click and Collect or have Godfreys Premium Quality Meats and Poultry delivered in one box - Nation wide 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 selection 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.

Make your choice easier-and quicker!

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 - or monthly - Meat shopping tailored precisely to your personal requirements and taste - with no waste!

The daily selections naturally reflect the changing seasonal changes each month. 

As we enter September we have updated our Meat for a Week tab on our Web site to reflect what becomes more popular in September and hopefully help make your choices less time consuming and easier

Summer still lingering, Autumn coming nearer

September signifies change and its harvest is a riot of colours and flavours - while Game also starts to come into its own.

Summer flavours are still abundant so we can continue to enjoy delicious salads with plump Tomatoes or juicy Peas. For colder days there's Potato Dauphinoise, Roasted Fennel, Beetroot and delicious Duck.

Look out also for Artichoke, Aubergine, Beetroot, Broccoli, Butternut Squash, Carrot, Courgette, Fennel. Leek, Mangetout, Marrow, Parsnip, Peas, Pepper, Potato, Runner Beans, Sweetcorn, Tomatoes, and Wild Mushrooms 

With ingredients from Lamb to Duck, Wood Pigeon and Rabbit - plus the recent arrival of Grouse - now eating at their best - now is the time to eat seasonal!

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 - although in September they still tend to be the lighter recipes - and mostly ones that are quick to prepare - but there is always the exception such the current appetite for Beef Short Ribs and Beef Picanha recipes

Precious leisure time

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 to save their precious leisure time

Our featured Seasonal meat this month - Duck - has been covered in detail in our “What’s in Season” article sent earlier this week - and currently available during the whole of September on our Website
