Home-Tyme Food Services provides meat and fish delivery to London, Ontario families and businesses for over 20 years. They have a team of sales reps going door-to-door with freezer trucks, and an online meat order shop.
"Choose from a wide selection of meat, shellfish, poultry and fish from Home-Tyme Food Services. We’ve found the top quality local cuts and fillets that some of which can’t be found in the grocery store." - from the Home-Tyme Foods website

Total Bulk Order Including Delivery: $2749.08 - Medium Yearly Cost
Bulk Ordering:
Home-Tyme Food Services provides a medium-level price for 200lbs of meat and fish per year. The cost is $400 or more than some of the top ranked companies in our reviews, but, other companies also have higher prices than Home-Tyme.
"All prices are subject to change without notice". - *fine print type detail from the Home-Tyme website*. Another was found where most products are sold based on serving vs. weight/size. Meet your delivery driver area is nice; we remember the unique Meat Boutique truck as well.
Advantages:
Fish is sourced from Canadian fisheries. Personal service is available from sales reps.
Disadvantages:
Prices are listed per "serving" or box. Took us a few phone calls to get a quote on some items. Although fish sourcing info is nicely done, on the whole, Home-Tyme has limited information about farms and sources.
Meat Delivery London Overall Thoughts:
Home-Tyme promotes a better experience than the grocery store. Pricing at grocery stores however are more transparent, just as other meat and fish delivery companies found in our reviews.
