Edenmoor

Working out of Cullompton, this is a butcher built for the postal system rather than the high street, with a stated mission to bring the finest food in the UK straight to your door and connect people with food they can trust. It has been voted the UK's best online butcher, and the 8,000-plus five-star reviews suggest the sourcing claims hold up. Provenance is the whole argument here: free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, and meat boxes assembled with some thought.

Delivery is nationwide, so the range is designed to travel and to be planned for rather than grabbed on the way home. The BBQ selection is the one to look at when the weather turns: grass-fed butterflied leg of lamb, a grass-fed beef sirloin sharing steak, honey and soy chicken drumsticks, and a half rack of grass-fed beef short ribs. If you are feeding a crowd, start with the sharing cuts and build the order around them.
