a proper bargain for the quality

We needed a decent wine selection for a dinner party and kept the budget tight. This ended up being far better value than the high street wine shops for what we got. The bottles arrived well wrapped and cold packs were included for the summer heat. Everything arrived in good shape and we'd happily go back.

needed a quick gift

Needed a gift fast for a leaving do tomorrow so ordered this on my phone at lunch. Checkout was a bit fiddly with the address box but got through it. Arrived the next day, bit of a squash on the box but everything fine.

first order and happy with it

Really happy with my first order, the hamper was packed well and everything was there. I wasn't sure what to expect from a site I'd never used but the checkout was easy and the confirmation emails came through straight away. Will be ordering again.

the sauce set

Grabbed the sauce set for the weekend braai and they went down a treat. Each bottle was a different heat level which made it fun. Came in one piece and the instructions on the side were clear. Mint.

My usual cheese order

I've been ordering the mature Cheddar selection for about six years now. Still good, though the last box arrived with one of the crackers gone to dust. They sorted a replacement but it took a week, which was a bit slow for me.

The hamper for my mum

Got the hamper for my mum's birthday and she was made up with it. Everything was in there, the biscuits and the jam especially. Arrived in time and the box looked nice too. Solid one.

compared with the big supermarket

I had a look at a couple of options and this came out a bit more expensive than the supermarket own brand for a similar product. The taste is noticeably better though, richer and less bitter. Delivery took a day longer than I was told but it arrived fine. Worth the extra for me.

knows his coffee, decent

I've been buying beans for years so I know what I'm looking for. This is a solid medium roast, a bit lighter than I'd like for the price. The bag seal was good and the grind options were handy. Would still order again.

Tried a few before settling on this

Tried a few different sites for a Christmas food hamper before settling on this one because it had the most variety. The selection was great and the price worked out better than the others I'd looked at. Ordering was simple and the hamper turned up in perfect condition. Everything was exactly as hoped.

Not quite as pictured

The first thing I noticed was the photo on the site showed a much bigger spread than what arrived, which was a bit annoying. I'd looked at two other places before picking this one. The cheese was fine but the portion felt meagre for the price. I did get a partial refund after emailing them.

Good, bit pricey

These are good, I'd say the best I've had from them. They do cost a fair bit more than the high street lot though, so I only treat myself now and then. Delivery was sorted, packed well and nothing got broken.

Better than the supermarket one

Way nicer than the supermarket own brand I usually grab, the cheese was proper mature and didn't taste like plastic. Ordered it for a mates' night in and we demolished it. Good stuff.

Delivery window was a bit vague

Ordered a hamper for a colleague's leaving card and the delivery window on the checkout said between 9 and 5 which is useless when you're at work. Stuff arrived fine in the end, just no heads up from them and had to chase the courier myself, which was a faff on a Friday.

Cheaper than the other site

Compared to the other place I usually look at, this worked out about a fiver cheaper for the same amount. Delivery was included above the minimum so no extra charge. Does the job for the money.

Chose it over the other brand

I shortlisted this and a rival brand for a birthday box and went with this one in the end. The chocolates were beautifully made and the ribbon was a nice touch. Delivery was fast and nothing got squashed. Glad I picked it.

Still my first choice after years

I've been ordering from them for close on ten years and they're still my first choice for a Sunday roast meat box. The quality hasn't slipped and the staff on the phone know who I am now. Delivery has always turned up when they say it will.

Way better than the old place

Honestly this beat the cheap supermarket box I used to get, the stuff actually turned up cold and in one piece. Ordered on a Sunday night, it was at mine by Tuesday lunch which was mad. Would get again.

the cured meats again

Went straight for the cured meats again, as I always do with them. The chorizo is still the best I've tasted from any shop. Packed well with ice packs, just as it has been for years. Happy customer.

the little tasting notes

The tiny card with tasting notes on it is what got me, actually really helpful. Made my boyfriend try the smoky one and he was hooked. Bit of a faff to reorder but the drink itself is lovely.

Needed something for a works do

Needed a decent bottle for a work thing and didn't want to faff about in town. Picked one, it came quick and it went down well with everyone. Nothing more to it really.
