YES, we can mail order chilled items - we pack the items in an sealed insulted pouch with ice packs. Make sure you use the Express service as the ice packs will not withstand being out in the delivery network for longer than 24hrs.

Please get in touch with us if your delivery does not arrive when it says it should. There are occasions when DPD deliver to a local collection point or the Royal Mail make a second attempt to deliver. Either way, please get in touch and we can update you on the situation.

All the packing we use is compostable or can be recycled. We often use packing chips that are made from corn starch - these are totally compostable and will in fact dissolve in water, the rest of the packaging can be recycled in your regular household kerbside collection. The only exception to this is the packaging we use for chilled items, however these can be reused.
