"Meat Raffle is full of surprises and the excellent cast are beautifully photographed by Stuart Armstrong.” – Ian McKellen

"Fizzing with more nerve and charm than plenty of features … Meat Raffle is a blast of pure northern glory that juggles laughs, secrets and tender emotion without dropping a single ball. Armstrong has created something deeply personal. Unmissable. Outstanding!" ★★★★★ – Short Films Matter

"Armstrong’s contained and concise Meat Raffle is as absurd as it is entertaining, filled with plenty of heart and poignancy to boot … the whole thing makes you feel like you’ve just walked in, ordered a pint and are now stood leaning on the bar watching the entire crazy saga unfold." – UK Film Review
