Delivery service by DPD is top class. Its real time tracking really works. Double layer carton packing by C&B works well. Product quality is fantastic, at a price though.

Parcel was left safely with a neighbor . However I had requested that the parcel be left in my porch. Also a note saying where the parcel was would have been helpful.

Written by the company
Cartwright & Butler is a family-owned, luxury food and beverage brand based in Yorkshire, England that's known for creating outstanding teatime luxuries. We champion British traditions and bring a spirit of luxury and occasion to today's teatime treats. We seek out the best bakers and finest confectioners to make our products to unique and exacting recipes and create luxury teatime treats. At the heart of the Cartwright & Butler brand is a tradition of family bakers that spans five generations. Gordon Arnett bought his first bakery in Hull in 1940. After the war, he invested in a charming, double-fronted shop in Beverley which he ceremoniously named 'The Cake Shop'. The business grew and the family went on to run a series of successful bakeries, finally selling the last of their production facilities to Finsbury Foods in 2008. That's when a new passion for teatime treats was born. Spotting an opportunity to bring something different to the market, the Arnett family acquired the Cartwright & Butler brand and a new era was born. Today, Cartwright & Butler sells in over 40 countries worldwide. From the shelves of premium retailers, to food halls, farm shops, and leisure destinations across the country and in duty-free shops from London to Seoul, Cartwright & Butler's range of teatime treats delights millions of customers every year.

Quick delivery!
Great food and I couldn’t believe how quickly it arrived! I ordered it in the evening as a last minute present, and it had arrived beautifully packaged by lunch the next day.

I Got a hamper for my 60 th birthday present and to be quite honest it’s all nicely packaged but the products themselves for a supposedly top of the range company are very average to say the least in some cases in my opinion are poor to say the least wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.Feel sorry for my family spending there money in this hamper.If this company thinks there hampers are high end they are deluded.This company thinks there tea is one of the best it’s pretty poor to say the least.Got to say very bog standard reply to my review I have to say the the Chocolates are some of the worst I have ever had .

Third time unlucky…
This was my third annual purchase of a Christmas hamper. Whist the previous two years have been spot on. This years experience has been disappointing. The delivery arrived and the wooden crate was really badly damaged. It had split in two on end and was completely unusable and ungiftable. Customer services picked up my email quickly and sent out a replacement wooden crate. This too arrived damaged. Another email sent off but this time no reply so I followed up with a phone call and all I got offered was a refund for the cost of the crate. The cost of the crate is £35 on their website however the refund was only for £29.32.
Ill be on the lookout for another hamper company next year…

Hello, I hope you are well and thank you for your feedback. Our sincere apologies for the delay in response. I'm sorry to hear that the wooden crates were damaged. This is not the level of service and products we hoped to offer our customers. Rest assured this will be pass to our Quality and Dispatch Team. We will also share your feedback to our Customer Service Team.
With regards to the refund, we would appreciate if you kindly contact our Customer Care Team at care@cartwrightandbutler.co.uk so we can investigate and assist you further about the difference.
Excellent customer service
Ordered a mixture of gifts and snacks for the home. DPD didn’t deliver as expected but I received an incredibly swift response to my email from C&B, who resolved the issue in a very thorough manner, which also had a personal touch. The pistachio shortbread has already been opened, and is delicious. Looking forward to trying some of the other treats. Items were well wrapped. Thank you, in particular to Hans for excellent customer service.

A box of treats
All items were carefully packed. The shipment came in two separate deliveries, the second was delivered to the wrong address. Customer service were very helpful and replied very quickly. They gave the likely house that the delivery was made by checking the information from the GPS. Ĝot the package safely. The items are as described on the website and will make lovely gifts. Would buy again, thank you.

My annual Xmas treat is the C&B Cherry and Almond decorated round fruit cake in a tin
All year, I eat a very low carb diet so no cake, biscuits, rice, pasta etc. However, at Christmas I have a week of eating what I want and every year I buy myself a gorgeous C&B Cherry and Almond decorated round fruit cake in a tin. It is so fruity, moist and I love it!.
I also bought some shortbread and ginger biscuits along with a lemon drizzle cake and an apricot and fig loaf for the rest of my family to enjoy.
It was all easy to order and quick to arrive. I was surprised not to receive a confirmation email of my order but then it was with me in 2 days so not a huge issue.
All the products look lovely and we are looking forward to eating them.
Only scored 4 stars as I was disappointed to see some of the biscuits that I ordered for £5.50 in my local farm shop for £3.65!. I would have expected ordering directly to have been a bit cheaper not more expensive!
