Mudgee Meat
Verified35 reviews
Unfortunately, the most recent order contained meat of very poor quality. I raised this with the owner; however, they were unable to identify the source from the invoice and told me to purchase from a local butcher instead. I’m disappointed, as previous orders have been much better.
Had a really good first delivery but second order arrived and meat was off even though I was home when delivered and packed away straight away. Talked to customer service but there was nothing they would do about, they tried to make excuses for taste but smell and taste was so bad I now have a freezer full of spoiled meat and have to just throw… Read more
out such a waste, we are really disappointed and won’t be buying from them again. I guess that’s the risk of buying meat online and not locally
1. Purchased the carnivore for 2 pack with wagyu rump. No issue on the online order and the delivery They delivered it 6 am I was home so that’s fine 2. I then got an email saying 5% off your first order but I’d just ordered so that’s fine was a slap in the face. The shop refused to give me 5% off. 3. I’ve put the meats in fridge and freezer… Read more
straight away. I’ve just thrown away a 2.7 kg lamb leg roast that’s meant to still be good til tomorrow and the meat stinks to high hell and is really off. They claim to offer farm fresh meat that’s weeks newer and fresher than supermkt food. Well that’s [Content Removed]. This was vacuumed packed. In the fridge- and it’s off. I’m a full time student and this amounts to throwing away 60 dollars. 4. The lamb ribs were absolutely loaded with fat. Way way too fatty and grossly I was really unimpressed. The Wagyu runo was tasty but it was grossly, sliced to odd widths across the steaks- just sloppy butchering skills 5. Would I buy from them again. NO. Never again. A butcher that can’t supply fresh meat doesn’t deserve to stay in business. I hate to waste meat and I have two dogs- the lamb leg was so off my dogs wouldn’t touch it. Stay away from Mudgee meats. Their meat quality is more expensive than the supermarket and honesty not as good. Most butchers the meats are better but Mudgee meats aren’t. And when I asked for that 5% off they offered I got attitude.
Really regret wasting my hard earned money on these clowns. If you want to get sick off off meat buy Mudgee Meats. Otherwise I wouldn’t reccomend.
Update- just got a call from [Name Removed] from Mudgee Meats 042982367x (hidden last number) soon as he calls launches into a tirade - the first thing he does is ramble on about my reviews on other companies and services and at this point I had to hang up on him. This experience verifies for me without a doubt that Mudgee Meat are not a professional butcher. You don’t go and market your products as excellent- and then serve up off meat and charge high prices for it and expect customers to not write a bad review
Now [Name Removed] is messaging me and instead of focusing on the poor review on his meat is trying to discredit my review saying there is no evidence- saying it’s just the smell of the meat- he has done this with countless other bad reviews- he told me it was confinement smell- the lamb leg was so off my dogs turned their nose up at it. That’s telling me it was packed off. Because I was home on the delivery and was immediately put in the fridge and freezer- I’ve had no power outages and a good working fridge.
Steer well clear of Mudgee meat. I won’t be ordering here again. That they refused to offer the 5% off, shipped off meat and instead of apologising and making that write begins attacking my other reviews shows the calibre of Mudgee Meats

Great dog food but very expensive for pet food – Worst meat I've ever tasted .. like chewing on an old leather boot.. no matter how many times you complain it's still the same and top dollar for dog food ? Disgusting place and disgusting attitude from the owners..
Positive reviews
Thanks Michael & Carolyn, the FamilyFOUR was perfect for us. Although we always shop at a local butcher the Mudgee Meat pack was amazing vale with all cuts averaging $18/kg which included sirloin and t-bones. The process was simple and we have enjoyed all the cuts and expecially the sausages.
High-quality meats from grass-fed, free-roaming, hormone-free, naturally raised animals, freshly prepared as ordered and conveniently delivered to your door. Ordering is effortless, and we received clear instructions on when to expect the delivery. Great service and produce all around.
The quality of the meat is excellent, ive been dealing with these country folk for 5+ years and they only get better. Delivery was on time and we were kept informed all the way through.
Negative reviews
Very Poor Quality – Poor Quality all round. Our order consisted of beef steaks, roast and mince. We also ordered assorted lamb and sausages. All cuts of meat were very very average and had so much fat on it. Sausages were about the only thing which was edible. I feel I have wasted my hard earned $400. I have bought healthier and tastier meats from Woolies & Coles. I really suggest buying elsewhere.
Disappointing, not what I would consider butcher quality – Ordered a pack with pork, beef and lamb and added sausages, cattlemens steak and some dog bones. The sausages were the best part, lamb and jalapeno, the beef were thick and just far too big. Cattleman's was the poorest quality I have ever had. Being that their core business appears to be lamb it was very disappointing, very minimal trimming and… Read more
did not taste like fresh lamb. Pork was definitely no better than supermarket, what was advertised as fillet was just pork loin with no bone, flavour was just not what I expect from paddock raised. Beef was budget quality, I tried cooking steaks as steaks but ended up having to stew them. Mince was pretty fatty, lucky to be 3 star. Dog bones were a good size cut perfect for the dogs. Overall it was a disappointing experience and I feel that the value was not there especially considering the amount of blood which is included in the packaging. Better off shopping around locally or even at the supermarket.
Very Bad Service – My first order delivery was really very bad. They sent me a message to say delivery is scheduled tomorrow 7:45 am tried to change delivery time becuse at that time will not be home, their answer is no, tried to cancel the order they told me I have to lose 10% of my order payment. I never got to see the meat or the quality but I guess their product will match their service! Very bad Services.

I'd give them 6 starts! – Fantastic product and service from a family run company, they kept us in the loop the whole way. Product was well packaged and delivered exactly when we were told, wish we could give them 6 stars.
Find another supplier – A terrible experience their attitude is totally unacceptable. It is unprofessional and arrogant. There are so many other professional and helpful suppliers to deal with.

Not value for Money – Purchased expensive cuts from Mudgee Meats but was shocked to see that the weight of the cut was made up of 60% inedible fat. I contacted them and they just said “That’s Great”. Just to flick a customer like that shows 0 respect and 0 accountability. Buy elsewhere as you will be disappointed.

Best lamb ever!! – Mudgee lamb is such good quality and the packaging is great. Have ordered twice now and would strongly recommend this lamb. A significant one off outlay but lasts so long.
Best ever Roast Lamb – We thought we’d try Mudgee Lamb even though our local country butchers are great but we were really impressed with the roast lamb we had last night. It was the most tender, tasty lamb we’ve ever tried. It’s not cheap, but when you get quality like this, it’s worth paying extra. Highly recommend. Looking forward to eating more lamb very shortly.
Don't bother. Shop locally – This was my first AND LAST ORDER EVER ORDER FROM MUDGEE LAMB. The pack I ordered showed lamb loin chops my husbands favourite. They sent chump which my husband never eats. I called Michael to complain and as it was Christmas Eve when I rang he said call after the holidays and we will see what we can do. Well he is doing NOTHING thank you very… Read more
much. And to add insult to injury 2 of the chops were all fat and bone certainly nothing that any self respecting butcher would sell. His excuse was the wording in the order sais lamb chops not specifcally loin, but the picture shows loin and nowhere does it say they won't be so to me that screams misrepresentation. Also on orderering he said it works out to about $18 per kilo my reckoning is $28. My advice shop from your local butcher.
My dream meat – We came across your entry on Face Book last year, and became interested. We placed our first order, which arrived promptly, the service excellent and staff great. I have continued ordering as required as we are on a Pension, Definitely the best move we have made, the meat tender and delicious. Highly recommended.
Great meat, great service – As a first time buyer i found the communication great. Tonight i had my first chop and it was everything i was hoping for. Tender no fat just perfect.
Wonderful meat, Great service – Fantastic fresh meat, all varieties straight to your door. A wonderful paddock to plate experience and your money goes to the farmer.
Poor Quality Meat – The meat arrived on time, Steak tough as an old boot, roast beef grisly with large gristle throughout middle, lamb very badly cut and very fatty, pork sausages so spicy - inedible and gave to chooks. Will not order again
delicious meats – We made a large order from Mudgee lamb for a family and friends camping trip. We ordered Lamb sausages , bacon ,beef cheeks and a shoulder of lamb the meat was amazing so delicious and tender. We can highly recommend Carolyn, Michael and The team at Mudgee lamb.
Very poor meat and customer service – The meat it smelt soooo bad. We contacted them and Micheal was soooo rude. He suggested I should go back to our butcher!! We try to support small businesses and have tried many other better suppliers. Go elsewhere

Awesome Meat, great service – Great little Aussie company, they communicated well with delivery dates and what to do for the delivery and the meat, oh yeah. Hard to describe how good fresh quality meat tastes. You know when you cook mince from the supermarket and you need to cook all the extra water off. You don't get that with this meat, I started cooking the meat for a spag… Read more
bol and as the meat was cooked, that was it no trying to cook off the water. Lets not forget the steaks and lamb mouth watering.
Very Unprofessional – Being first time buyers we were very excited after hearing nothing but good things about Mudgee Lamb, so come delivery day we eagerly awaited, now despite giving them two phone numbers so we could meet them at the gate (we live and work on a property) and guide them to our house which they agreed to do they chose not to and drove in and dropped… Read more
the meat off to the wrong house, despite being told by a lady at the house it was not where we live they dumped the meat on the kitchen bench and drove off on a 40+degree day. When questioned as to why they did not ring they said that it was hard to make phone calls when there is only two people in the truck and that they were running late despite delivering to us within the time slot they gave us. The ironic part about it all is that they couldn't phone us but sent a message on Facebook to inform us that they had delivered and when questioned about professionalism they blocked us, it seems that if they get any negative comments on facebook they delete them and block the user. And to rub salt into the wounds the majority of the meat was under weight so we are not getting what we paid for. In the the end all we got was excuses and no apology, needless to say we wont be buying any more from them which is a shame as we like to support small buisnesses.
perfect package – we ordered the family 4 pack first time buyers of this bulk package the meat is superior to any we have bought elsewhere we have recommended this company to family and friends this is our go to for meat in the future WILL & DEL
Back to the taste of the 50s.meat – We have been dealing with Mudgee Meats for quite sometime now. This has helped us to go back in time to allow us to taste the meat of the past as meat should taste. There's only two of us plus our Maltese Terrer We always order the Faimly 4 pack. We have never had any problem with the meat pack I have invested in a vacuum sealer to enable us to… Read more
to downsize our packs of meat to suit our needs. I have recommended there products to many people. Due to spending some time in hospital our ordering has slowed down over this but I still promote the product to the staff at the hospital and others The only other thing that I can say is please you COUNTRY FARMERS keep up the great quilty of your products I cannot wait to be discharged from hospital to be home for some tasty meat dishes once again
Extremely disappointed, Pork pack – I ordered the "Full Pork" pack from Mudgee Lamb as I thought that it would be good value. The delivery was two weeks late and when it arrived it was in no way a full pork, the bulk of the of meat i received was made up of Shoulder Chops, with 500grams of Pork belly and 500 grams of American style ribs. My delivery was also short two kilo's of… Read more
diced pork and two roasts. I was assured that this would be delivered on their next run. Upon taking stock of what i received contacted Mudgee Lamb to express my disappointment. I was told that I was actually short a full box which would be delivered the following Thursday and would include both the roasts, the diced pork as well as the remaining ribs and pork belly. When the delivery arrived I received one roast rather than two and when i enquired with the driver he said he just worked for them, but having called his boss I was told that because the roast was "large" i only got one and if i wanted i could just cut it in half. I like to support producers which is why I went with Mudgee lamb, but will never again.
Best Meat Ever Eaten – We have been buying from Mudgee Lamb since they began delivering. Amazing quality and packaging. Fresh straight off the farm. Owners are ALWAYS helpful in choosing the best package for your family. We will NEVER buy anywhere else. Straight to your door delivery and ALWAYS with a smile. I have NEVER been much of a MEAT eater BUT now I can't get enough as it's so tender no matter what you order. 100/10
the best ever – I have had 3 whole lambs and a whole beast delivered Coming from property the best meat we have eaten and so impressed with the professional packaging and delivery fantastic
They deliver to your door! – These guys are the best! Have ordered many times over the last 2 years and every time they have delivered the best tasting meat in the valley! It is tender and full of flavour. I have tried the pork and beef and both exceed anything you could buy at the supermarkets. Buying in bulk saves you money and i love the home delivery of the meat. I have never had a problem they always let me know when to expect my delivery. Great people to deal with.
Won't buy meat from any where else! – After my first delivery my husband and I won't buy meat from anywhere else. The quality is amazing, you haven't tasted meat until you have tasted this! Fresh, packed in seperate bags and the cuts of meat you require, including offal and bones for my puppies. The owners as well are so helpful, we figure out our delivery date and pay off our… Read more
package and ensure our freezer is always full.
The meat works out way cheaper then supermarkets or butchers and you know exactly where it is coming from!
I honestly can't fault it, I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with the owners and have recommended them for my family and friends!
The only meat our family eats – The following are the reasons why our family loves Mudgee Lamb. 1. Delicious, tender grass fed lamb. Never able to buy or eat supermarket lamb again! 2. Delivered and unpacked straight on to my bench top. 3. Supporting an Australian farming family who have since become friends. 4. Great communication of delivery times.
Meat left off late delivery – Over 1 hr late delivery. Ordered 1 roast separate to 1st order never arrived questioned this her response never ordered so I then took screen shot of mudgee lamb saying they will update my invoice and the receipt never updated. Missing 9.5 kgs from 25kgs I ordered. I did a stocktake sheet of what I was supposed to receive 1 tri pack wasn't… Read more
there 4kgs null
The expensive meat from beef full pack missing.
I spoke to [name removed] her response no it was all delivered my husband advised everyone that he would be late well certain cuts were fatty so had to b replaced that was it.
Fantastic meat, high quality and great service. Fresh from the farm to my house. Beats anything from a supermarket on any measure
You can really taste the difference vs supermarket meat. Super easy to order and they even helped bring the box into our kitchen bench.
