HG Walter The Family Butcher, London – Still Making Home Deliveries

We want to address the current situation and reassure you that we’re still doing home deliveries within London. We’re all struggling and are just taking things one day at a time. From this weekend and until we get more clarity on the current situation, we’ve decided to reduce our minimum spend for free delivery from £50 to £30. Hopefully, this can help those who are dealing with self-isolation and uncertainty. As always, we can do next day delivery if you get your order in before 4pm.

We’ve also put together a Meat Survival Vac Pac Kit, which will see people through a week or two…

We are starting to make plans to see if we can offer a delivery service in our local area as and when this becomes a need in our community.
