Meat ???
Had this as a substitute on home delivery. Absolutely dreadful. Don't buy it.
Give it up with the made up farm names
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's terrible. I usually sous vide it, then sear it in oven, so when it's tough as old boots it's not because I have overcooked it. The problem is there is no Boswell Farm. It's just a made up brand name, and so the joints are sourced from various farms with apparently no consistency.
Very nice apart from gristle
I slow-cooked this joint which was very nice apart from three rows of gristle running through the middle of the joint. I'm going to order another one to see if it's any different.
Lovely joint of beef.will buy again

Excellent - good value for money
Having read the previous reviews, some of which were negative, I was rather sceptical about buying this joint. Anyway I gave it a go and was very pleasantly surprised, It’s not the most attractive of joints once the netting is removed, but there was very little wastage in terms of sinew and fat. Cut into chunks and thrown into the slow cooker - RESULT - just as tender if not more that the expensive cuts. - will certainly buy again -
easiest joint of beef to cook ever.
1 star reviewers really need to get some cooking lessons or better still let someone else cook there meals. this joint has got to be one of the easiest joints of beef ever to cook and i'm no chef. straight in the slow cooker for several hours job done.
Only fir to re-sole your leather shoes.
This was the 4th time I have brought this Boswell farms carvery beef joint. The first time I cooked it, it was sublime, melt in the mouth, tasty and we loved it (cooked low and slow) Anywho the other 3 times it was like chewing on old boot leather. 2nd joint was cooked the same as the first, the 3rd and 4th was cooked as per the instructions. These have been the toughest, roughest beef joints I've ever had the misfortune to buy, cook and attempt to eat and I will not be buying them again that's for sure.
A Melt in the Mouth Moment.
Excellent quality, one of the best pieces of beef we’ve ever had.. it quite genuinely melted in the mouth.. and it was pink inside as we like it and it said on the cooking instructions. Just a pity it’s not available for my home delivery from Tesco. But would definitely buy it again. Excellent.
I have bought this twice now and have been pleased
I have bought this twice now and have been pleased with it. The first time I slow-cooked it and it was delicious the second time I was doubtful about buying it for roasting having read the reviews. But I seasoned it and roasted it on Fan temperature 160/gas no 3 for 3½ hours with the top covered in foil. It was very tender and tasty, so much so that a family member who had collected a meal from me asked what sort of joint it was as it was lovely.
Full of gristle.
This was stewing steak at best. Cooked to medium rare and when I carved the centre was full of gristle. A third of the joint was inedible. Unfortunately I purchased this to bring home to France, if I had been in the UK it would be returned to store! Very disappointed as previous joints have been very good.
