I always order this when I have my parents and in-laws for a Sunday roast as they love beef and I know that I can rely on this to be superb. My Dad, a retired butcher, gives it 10/10

Not sufficient for 8-10 people.

No, I don't recommend this

We had this joint between 2 people and it provided 4 average size portions. There would not have been enough hardly to feed 5 people and you certainly would not have been able to carve 8 slices. I cannot imagine how M & S think it is a fair description to state 8-10 people, you would find it difficult even to provide each person with half a slice from the joint I had. The meat itself was extremely tender, juicy and very tasteful. The horseradish butter was very sloppy and didn't want to stay in the joint.

Disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

The meat lacked depth of flavour. Too much horseradish butter that produced oily meat juices for a gravy, not nice. Prefer Beef forerib on the bone, but not available to order.

Very overpriced

No, I don't recommend this

Thought this beef joint was far too over priced. It wasnt as tender as anticipated, and it had a huge piece of fat on the top of the joint, as well as fat running through it. No way would this serve 8-10 people, we had it between 3 and there was little left over. To be honest I have had nicer beef joints for less than £10 that I have cooked in the slow cooker. Also the packaging cooking time needs adjusting, I followed the instructions for well done but the joint still wasnt cooked properly (and this was using a fan oven).

Worth every penny

Yes, I recommend this

I cooked this last week and although I cooked it on a low heat for an extra 45 mins than stated.. The meat was tender and the best part there was no waste. Yes the veins of fat were viable on purchase but that enhanced the moisture and taste. It easily fed 10 of us. I was scepticle especially at the cost of £45.00 but had to say yes I would buy it again

This joint was delicious, enjoyed by all but was slightly on the chewy side. I could have been responsible for this although I followed instructions ?! Nevertheless very good value.

Wish I hadn't bothered

No, I don't recommend this

Have had this joint several times but really wasn't impressed this time. Myself and my husband had told our family how amazing this joint would be but were left with egg on our faces as it really wasn't up to its usual standard. Thank god for the turkey crown bought from sainsburys!!! Would not waste my money on this again.

I got this for a festive meal. Very easy to cook and everybody was very enthusiastic about it. My reservation is that it was fattier than the illustration and I really dislike fat.

Delicious!

Yes, I recommend this

This joint of meat was bought for a special occasion, I agonised over paying £45 for it! But the old saying 'You get what you pay for' was certainly right the beef was delicious ( I knew it would be) I have gone up in my families estimation for being able to produce such a tasty piece of beef, Well worth the money
