An overview of Dutch online butchers, their range, and what to watch out for if you're ordering meat online for the first time.
Ordering meat online, briefly
In the Netherlands you can order meat from several online butchers that deliver next-day, and at some shops even same-day. Webshops ship chilled, usually vacuum packed and in an insulated box with ice packs.
On this site we compare prices from Dutch online butchers several times a week. Below you'll find the webshops we track, links to the cut pages with current price per kg, and a few practical tips for your first order.

What to watch out for when ordering meat online
Shipping costs and free-shipping threshold
Some shops offer free shipping from around €50, others only from €100 or more. For a single small order this can shift your total quite a bit.
Delivery day and cold chain
Most butchers let you pick a delivery day. Make sure you're home or that a neighbour can accept the package, since meat needs to go in the fridge quickly.
Origin and quality labels
Watch for labels like Beter Leven, organic, or grass-fed if those matter to you. Some butchers (like Grutto and Mastermeat) focus entirely on a specific origin or farming approach.
Review scores
Trustpilot or Kiyoh scores give a good picture of service quality. Our comparison table shows each butcher's current score and the review platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is buying meat online safe?▾
Yes, as long as the package arrives chilled and you put it in the fridge or freezer immediately. Dutch webshops almost always ship with ice packs and insulation. Vacuum-packed meat keeps well in the fridge after that.
How long does delivery take?▾
Usually 1 to 2 working days, depending on the butcher and when you order. Some butchers deliver the same evening if you order before 12:00 or 14:00.
Can I return meat ordered online?▾
Fresh and chilled products are usually exempt from the right of withdrawal. For issues like a damaged package or a broken cold chain, butchers typically resolve this with a credit or a replacement delivery. Check the terms of the specific webshop.
What's the average price per kg for meat online?▾
It depends heavily on the cut. Chicken breast usually runs €15 to €25 per kg, ribeye €30 to €60 per kg, and premium variants like Wagyu or dry-aged can be €100 or more per kg. The cut pages show current ranges per butcher.
