Product Description

Waitrose British Veal Escalope

Waitrose veal is supplied by one farmer in East Anglia, who has been supplying Waitrose and Ocado since the early 90's. All the veal we sell is British and comes from calves that are born and reared on British farms. The British calves are reared and housed in well-ventilated buildings with plenty of natural light and straw bedding. They're fed a diet of Milk, Water and Cereal, that produces tender delicate meat. There is a close working relationship between the dairy farmers and beef producers to ensure that male calves from Waitrose milk production are offered a viable outlet in Waitrose Beef and veal production.

poorly butchered lumps of meat

I have just been charged over 21 pounds for 4 veal escalopes- as noted by previous reviewers these were enormous, almost an inch thick in places, tough and just not what you expect when you order escalopes. I recently bought 4 delicious veal escalopes for 6 pounds at my local farmers market and that is where I will go next time

Dreadful

Very disappointed by the lump of veal that was delivery. The definition of escalope is a thin piece of meet not what was delivered, I will need to slice before cooking and will have lots of postage stamp sized pieces. NOT IMPRESSED

Disappointing - 2nd time purchased

Our second order of veal escalopes was nowhere near as good as our first. For one thing we suffered the size problem that others have commented on before - one long flat piece and another short and very thick piece. In a butcher's shop I would have rejected them. Moreover, the two pieces of meat were quite different in texture. Both were edible, but neither was tender. Seems the quality control needs to be tightened up - we shan't buy these again.

While we have taken care in preparing this summary and, to the best of our knowledge, believe it is accurate you should note that the summary product information (in particular the "Other Information" section) may change between the time you place your order on the website and the time your order is delivered (in this regard we rely on our suppliers to tell us of any changes in a timely manner so we can update our website). For example, as all meat and fish products are naturally farmed, there may be occasions when due to weather conditions we may need to source from alternative approved sources (and hence the product origin may change). Therefore, if you do require the most up-to-date product information following delivery of your order, please ensure you check the website for details.

If the summary product information contains a link to another party's website for further information on the product, please note that Ocado has no control over and no liability for the contents of that website.

You also need to be aware that for those service counter goods where we offer additional preparation services (ie removal of the head and tail of a fish or for a rack of lamb to be cut into cutlets), the price will be calculated based on the weight of the whole fish before the head and tail have been removed and the lamb rack before it has been cut into cutlets, should you request this service. The receipt and product label you receive will also show the actual weight of the whole fish and/or lamb rack (before the head and tail of the fish has been removed and the lamb rack has been cut into cutlets).

You should note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included.
