Wish these beef joints were available more often
Good quality joints when available ...... Sadly for the past few months now whenever I go to order my delivery store says 'This product's currently out of stock'
The joint was very tender & tasty

Good value tender joint of beef.
Lovely joint of beef - very tender when roasted medium done. Good value as fed 4 adults & 2 children for Sunday lunch and plenty left over for the two of us for Monday/Tuesday. Would definitely buy again.
Make a Pig of yourself with a Loin Joint
The Loin joint is always consistent and tasty; it even tastes nice when cold. It's easy to slice, ideal for sandwiches the next day. My family's need is for a joint that is approximately 2kg; the Loin is always there or thereabouts. None of the other joints meet this criteria.
Not impressed. Might have to look elsewhere.
Too much basting fat, at least twice as much as might be required. Quite tough. 1.492Kg rather than the 1.25 Kg requested; this was shown in the listing for the order on the delivery day, but was not highlighted, therefore I didn't notice it. Several times a beef joint has been delivered that is considerably larger than the joint requested, which is also requested as "No substitutions". A much bigger joint doesn't seem to count as a substitution for some reason; I think it ought to. I don't have the time or inclination to check each and every item delivered while the delivery driver is hanging about waiting for his plastic crates.
Will never buy again!!
Had no problem with these joints in the past, but last two weeks the joints were labelled as TopRump. When cooked and string removed, they fell into two pieces which were made up of a lot of fat and gristle. Meat that was there was very tough. Not nice at all. My two dogs enjoyed them though. Very expensive dog food. Will not be buying again!!
More care needed
I ordered a large piece of roasting beef but the smallest size was delivered. I find it much better to roast a larger piece of meat as it doesn't dry out when cooking as a small joint does. I feel that more care should be taken with orders especially when the wrong size delivered spoilt our special Easter meal plan.
Odd failure mode of a roast!
This beef joint had the weirdest failure mode I have ever seen in a piece of beef. When bought, there was a lovely layer of fat on the top, but this literally DISINTEGRATED and vanished when cooked, leaving me with no lovely pieces of beef fat to eat. All that was left was a weird brown residue. Never seen this problem before (though admittedly I don;t usually buy joints of beef from the supermarket). The meat itself was tasty and delicious, but didn't make up for the disappointment of the vanishing fat!
dont order
rubbish the joint delivered was less than half the weight ordered
Too tough to eat.. Would not recommend
Very disappointed in the beef joint. When cooked, after taking off string, joint split in two. Was left with small slices. Beef was very tough, despite being cooked as directed. Jan 2nd meal was ruined as meat was too tough to eat, all was left on plate.
