FAQs
-
We usually use APC Overnight but may occasionally use Royal Mail or DPD too. You should recieve an estimated delivery time slot via text or email on the morning of your delivery.
-
Our couriers are asked to leave our boxes in a safe space if there is one available. You should be able to tell them where you’d like it left via their online tracking system. If you aren’t home and it can’t be left in a safe space the courier will usually reattempt the delivery on the next working day. The boxes should keep it cold long enough for that. If a delivery was attempted but you weren’t home, then unfortunately we can’t refund or replace it as it is your responsibility to be home for the delivery.
-
Simply add the individual items you would like to buy into your basket and check out. Please remember there is a £65 minimum order amount.
-
Sadly we can’t do orders less than £65 as we offer free delivery. But you can split orders with fellow meat lovers such as friends, family, neighbours or colleagues. As long as we post it to one address, you can split it as many ways as you like, and remember, the more you buy in bulk, the more you can save.
-
None of the meat that we sell at Lancashire Lamb Boxes is halal or kosher.
-
Although we farm very cautiously of the environment and are careful with any medications we use, we aren’t organic. Our meat doesn’t contain antibiotics or growth hormones as both those things are illegal in all British meat.
We don’t spray any pesticides on the fields.
If we do have to give an animal any medication (including antibiotics for an infection) then it will be treated on an individual basis, the animal then cannot enter the food chain until the medication is out of its system, this is called a with-hold period.
All growth hormones are illegal in the UK.
We do lots of things around the farm to increase biodiversity, including having 35 wildlife scrapes which encourage insects to breed, which then provides birds with an abundant food source.
We work closely to try and encourage as many birds to the farm as possible, we have Lapwings, curlews, pheasants, oyster catchers, red shank, snipe, wagtails, and many other birds that all choose to nest here.

If you’d prefer leaner cuts or fattier cuts please put it in the comment section at the checkout to let us know.

There is a box you can click on the main screen of the website that will take you through to the Raffall website. We do several raffles each month.
-
There is gluten in our sausages and burgers. If you aren’t able to have gluten, we can swap these out for a similar value of mince. Please put it in the comment section at the checkout to let us know. All major allergens are listed on the listing, but if you need any clarification it is always best to contact us.
-
If you realise your box hasn’t arrived on time, please contact us (use the ‘contact us’ page on here to email us) an we can loo into it with the courier. You can also contact them yourself whilst waiting for us to respond.
The boxes are designed to keep it cold an extra day so don’t panic. Obviously we’ll do what we can to get the courier to deliver it on time.
-
No, we don’t use Bovaer or anything similar. Our cattle are perfect the way they are- farts ‘n’ all!
-
We do not use any vaccines with MRNA technology. We don’t use many vaccines, however we will always choose to do what is best for the animals. We only vaccinate against something if its a problem we’re experiencing on our farm.
There is also no vaccines with MRNA technology that are certified for use in the UK for sheep or cattle. I believe there is one for pigs, but we don’t use it and I don’t know anyone that does. It is not commonly used.
-
Keep an eye on your emails as we will email you to ask for the correct delivery address. Congratulations! Your meat box will be delivered to you shortly. Once you have received your box, please log back into your Raffall account to confirm you’ve received it. Enjoy!

Yes, however we can’t promise we will always be able to swap it for what you want. We will always try to swap it for something of a similar value. Please put it in the comment section at the checkout. Ideally also tell us why you can’t have it, e.g. “gluten” or “don’t like mince”, then we can choose an alternative item that would be likely to be suitable. We will always try to swap it for what you’d like it swapped for though.
We only allow a max of 2 product types to be swapped out. e.g. 2x mince beef and 1x mince lamb would count as 2 product types, not 3.
If you’re in any doubt, feel free to contact us before ordering.

Sadly not, our brisket is too popular in the smaller roasting joints so we don’t have enough to be able to offer a whole brisket option. We are just a small business so have limited amount of everything.
-
Unfortunately we don’t know as it depends what we sell. For example we can’t just sell the lamb chop/cutlets from the lamb, we have to sell the whole animal. We will restock things as often as we can. Sadly we can’t reserve them for you. Often things sell out within a few minutes of being restocked as there is high demand for them.
