I wouldn't necessarily trust the British postal services to boerewors... It might be back up and walking by the time they manage it!!
Whereabouts are you? There are probably some better local places, and AFAIK it has to be made in the UK anyway.

There used to be one in Eynsham near Oxford.
May have moved to Witney by the look of it.

One we use now and then and chatting to some SA friends last year, they said the boereworse from there was pretty decent.
I'm in Selsey, West Sussex. When lived in London use to go to local shops but not many around here now. Think will order from Snoggys as they deliver fresh and not frozen.
This is my local one and they're great - https://www.bokandrose.co.uk/

There is a very good shop in Havant - Biltong and Bangers. They stock a fairly decent selection of SA goods, but the biltong and wors is fantastic.
There's a decent one in Woking, and if you go a bit further afield there's one in Bisley where I get my biltong from every now and then. They don't do droëwors though, which makes me a sad meat snacking fiend.
Good to know, my inlaws are in Havant and I'm seeing them this weekend!

The one in Bisley definitely has droewoes! I bought some last week.
My Mum has used https://southafricanshop.co.uk/ before to buy boerewors and some other stuff, she said the quality was pretty good and the meat arrived chilled.
Nice !!! Will definitely try and get some
There is a place down in Newhaven called Susmans (www.biltong.co.uk).
Used to love going in there on a lunch break when I worked opposite.

Went in Lidl today for sausages and saw a pack of these so in basket it went - They are just ready to go in the oven -Hope they taste good with homemade chips.
PS. I am addicted. Wife wasn't so keen so in future if we have any of these in freezer I will have these and wife will have normal ones.

Hard skip on the cranberry/feta one, but I did have the chakalaka version that was a hit at the braai over the weekend.
Nothing comes close to Snoggys.
Their chicken flattie is also amazing.
They're one of the few places that allow you to specify, how fatty and how moist you want biltong. It's a proper south African shop.
