One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Fantastic. So many goodies. The cakes were moist and delicious. Loved the shortcake biscuits and chocolate biscuits. I thought it was better value than some of the afternoon tea available by post and in person.”
Echoing the sentiment, another buyer praised: “A good mixture of cakes and biscuits, high-quality cream tea for a reasonable price would definitely buy again Arrived on time and excellent communication regarding delivery time and date.”
Adding to the positive feedback, a third buyer shared: “This was such a lovely gift to receive. Fast delivery, and when opened the mix of products were perfect. Excellent value for money and top quality products. Highly recommend.”
Despite the overwhelming praise, a few customers did raise concerns about freshness, with one adding: “This should have been a lovely ‘hope you’re feeling better’ gift. Although it looked nice it had short dates and tasted stale.”
