Delicious for the money
Excellent product for the money. Yes, go to your local butchers and you will get a finer quality, thicker cut of meat for sure, but then you will pay a finer price for it too. These make great mid-week meals served up with caramelised red onions with rice and broccoli. Ps. nothing wrong with a bit of fat by the way, thats where the flavour is. All in moderation!
Would you like some pork with your fat?
Came in an online delivery, probably more than half of it was fat, ended up with the equivalent of about one piece after cutting it all off. Really poor.
Back to Tesco Finest.
It's a rare day I don't finish a meal, even rarer when I bin it which I did this evening. These pieces of pork were nearly all fat with a little gristle thrown it. Tasting a small piece of the sickly meat upset me with the end result the whole meal was thrown away. I had to clean my teeth to try to get the taste out of my mouth. Back to Tesco Finest. You get what you pay for.. p.s. i am generally not a complainer..
Arrived to the same day so sent back

NOT trusted farmers
How can these be from 'trusted farmers'? The pigs are raised in Holland and then transported to Germany to be slaughtered. I am am particularly angry as when I placed my order for British bred and slaughtered pigs I indicated that substitutes could be provided with the note that ONLY British bred and slaughtered. This I felt gave a degree of certainty regards animal welfare. Incidentally I am in the vulnerable category re Covid so someone else was collecting my 'click and collect' and would not have realised my note.
WELL WORTH BUYING
Excellent quality. Thick cut with a small bone they roasted beautifully and didn't shrink at all
Variable standard. Safer to go for the finest.
These are OK if you go in the shop and choose the pack yourself, but buying online is risky because the quality varies from pack to pack, as you can see from the other reviews. You might just be lucky sometimes, though When shopping online, I prefer to go for two packs of 2, and choose the finest, which does of course work out more expensive, but you don't get what you don't pay for, ie the best, any other reliable way.
Nastiness Hidden by Label (Again)
The usual nasty trick of showing two nice chops with the label hiding two really nasty bits of scrag. The proper two cooked and tasted OK, but the others weren't even worth cooking. Price therefore, is double that stated. Nasty tactics, should be illegal.
Tesco Loin Steak Travesty!!
Absolutely disgraceful cut of meat, all four loin steaks are riven with fat and gristle, and I daren't even cook them for the dog. Tesco's picture of lean loin couldn't be any further from the truth of what is delivered, there is barely a centimetre of lean meat that isn't encircled with fat!! These so called steaks should not have left the butcher's table, and chucked right into the dogfood basket for recycling there. It is NOT what I would expect from Tesco, I always thought they took a pride in the food they displayed on their shelves. Your own butchers can't even cut a decent loin steak! And to cap it all off, there is no medium to complain as the telephone number on the receipt is continually jammed for "approx 28mins". Disgusted
