We got this message in today… and honestly, this is exactly why we do what we do 👊
Real graft. Long days. People just looking for something decent that actually hits the spot.
This one properly made us smile:

“Dear Team,
Let me set the scene.
Rainy Tuesday morning, 10am. Big day of tarmac ahead. It’s only Tuesday and I feel like I’ve already done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.
Meal prep’s in the van—119th day in a row eating the same thing. Like a dog trying to get excited for the same tin of Pedigree Chum.
I’ve got about 150 calories spare, so I pop into Mills Bakery for a pick-me-up. Grab a drink… still not satisfied. Spot some generic jerky—too much sugar. Another blow. Another right hook.
Then a voice—like your favourite gran—says:
‘There’s some really nice local jerky in the fridge at the back.’
I head over… Fletcher’s Biltong. Different flavours, sizes… no time to think. I grab a small Traditional. No nutritional info—but it’s a bad day already, so I gamble.
Back in the van, I’m questioning everything. Meal prep staring at me. Calories tight.
I open the bag… just to look.
The smell hit me like blood to a hammerhead.
The look—unreal.
Seasoning clinging to the beef like one of Sam Smith’s outfits.
One piece won’t hurt…
Then the first bite.
That was it.
Every worry disappeared.
Calories? Who cares.
Fats? Who cares.
Sugars? Who cares.
Mike who?
Genuinely the best biltong I’ve ever had. Possibly the best full stop.
Rain didn’t matter. The long day ahead didn’t matter. Every piece felt like topping up a health bar in a video game.
10/10 product.
Only thing—please get some nutritional info on the packs so I can work it into my diet and have that moment every day.
Thanks,
Ryan”**
