Bray Cured Arvostelua 

Bought as a birthday present for my brother-very well received, thoroughly enjoyed contents! Would definitely buy again.

Fantastic day spent with the Bray cured team recently. Alex and Dave are so knowledgeable and welcoming. My husband and I both loved the experience. We learnt so much about Venison butchery which we will be putting into practice at home. Lovely and unexpected extra touches with samples of their fantastic products to taste throughout the day and a huge take home box of various cuts of Venison which will feed the family all week. Really enjoyable day. Many thanks to the team!!

Alex and his team are a cut above the rest. The butchery course with Dave was fantastic, an afternoon of skill, dexterity, fun and deliciousness.
Bray cured are number 1 in taste and experience, thank you.

Another great day at Bray Cured. We recently completed the Sausage Making course, and Nose to Tail was just as good. As well as seeing a whole pig skilfully butchered into all the cuts, Alex explains the whole journey and history of charcuterie production throughout the day.
Will be back!

Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgeable team. Came away with smiles, knowledge and 3.5kg of sausages!

Certainly! Please provide the review you'd like me to rewrite.

It was an exhaustive introduction to the history and process of charcuterie with a fun and practical part in which we made salami and whole-muscle preserved meats. The guide had a great sense of humour which held our attention for the whole tour.

Brilliant day at Bray Cured that was fun, practical and educational too. Everyone was super friendly and made the day a real treat.

We had a great time on the charcuterie course at Bray Cured. It was really interesting to learn about the history of charcuterie making and to see the different processes that were involved. Alex and Dave were excellent hosts, who were happy to answer any questions from the group, and offered a real insight into the industry. We thought that lunch could be a bit more substantial - maybe add some bread from a local baker or something? - but this did not detract from the overall experience and we're looking forward to receiving our salamis in the post!

What a fantastic time doing the venison butchery and charcuterie course. Founder Alex and Butcher Dave were a delight - both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Left with a newfound enthusiasm and plenty of meat to keep us going! Will definitely be recommending to friends and family

First time doing a braycured course as we got it as a Christmas present. Drove quite a while to get there and we weren’t disappointed! Alex was funny and friendly teaching us about the history of charcuterie and showing us around where they make their handmade cured meats. The butcher was incredibly skilled at what he does and it was super interested watching and learning where the cuts of meat came from.. we also got to take lots home which was a great bonus! Highly recommend and will probably be back 😆

Excellent course would highly recommend, Alex was a great host and very knowledgeable.

knowledgeable team, friendly . great day

Fantastic people offering a unique and fascinating experience, with incredible knowledge (and food) as well!
Ignore the price - ok it’s a big birthday or Christmas present - but this is better value for money than you can imagine. Great introductory chat, a look through the fridges, and the butchery experience (hogget in my case) was exceptional. Used butcher’s knives, trimmed racks of chops, made sausages and everything was shared among the group at the end. On top of that, beautiful charcuterie and treats bookended the tour, which were all prepared and served brilliantly. Cannot recommend this enough!

Highly recommended British food company supplying their own artisan award winning charcuterie, and other food companies’ premium products.

Great service, fast friendly response, fabulous products.

My partner bought me a charcuterie experience gift card for my birthday - so obviously a gift that was not discussed - and it was a massive misfire and not something I wanted.

Bray Cured refused a refund and instead I am lumped with a £105 voucher for meats I do not want and that we couldn't possibly eat within their use by dates.

DO NOT GIFT THEIR EXPERIENCE CARDS - not without discussing it in advance with whoever you might be giving it to.

Update> In response to this review we have now received a refund, but they are not updating their terms and conditions to be clear this is possible, they were pretty friendly about it though.

I have removed some of my comments above as no longer relevant, which is a relief.

From their refund policy on their website:
"Exceptions / non-returnable items
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards."

The Bray Cured Salami course is an outstanding experience for anyone interested in charcuterie. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and fun. The hands-on process of mixing, stuffing, and hanging our own salami was engaging and thoroughly enjoyable.

Crucially, the course was highly educational, demystifying the curing process with clear, practical instruction and scientific insight into fermentation and food safety. The entire team was truly fantastic—professional, patient, and passionate about their craft. They answered every question and made everyone feel confident, regardless of prior experience. This is a five-star day out that I wholeheartedly recommend to all food lovers.

Had no idea what to expect ... liked the fact it is a genuine small company sharing what they do well!
Love the info and history to the course, as there are only so many "sausages" you can make!!! The tasting platters were great too! Thank you all.

100% recommend, very knowledgable

My youngest child got me a six month subscription for the charcuterie of the month. The meat always arrives in a timely fashion and well packaged. The samples I’ve had tasted good and were well presented. The second month, I saw you could add on the cheese or nibbles of the month so I opted in for that. I was not fond of the cheese but it was packaged and presented well. The following month I thought to try the next cheese however, I found that it was the same cheese I’d had already so I didn’t order it. I wrote in and mentioned it and they responded saying I was right and they needed to refresh the selection. I looked again the following month and it was still the same. At about my third month, I noticed that my meat selection seemed to be the same or very similar to a prior delivery. This has led me to believe the selection is not as diverse as it seems. I would suggest that if you’re going to offer a six month sampling of the charcuterie of the month, that you at least have enough variety available to provide different meats each month. In addition, if you tell a customer you are going to change or correct something, follow through and follow up with the customer.
