Dear Mrs North Lewis, thank you so much for your kind words and another fabulous order, hooray!
Best wishes from us all for 2025, Angus
Brilliant little company
Brilliant little company! The balsamic vinegar that we ordered is divine. We were recommended to try Demijohn at the Good food show by our laithwaites tasting teacher- and what a recommendation it was! The staff at the show were knowledgeable and friendly and so very helpful. We bought 2 vinegars and some of the alcohol too. It is beautifully presented in high quality bottles and I have them displayed out on my kitchen worktop as they are so lovely. Will definitely order from Demijohn again and I have recommended them to all my family and friends.

My recent order required email communication with the company. This was handled promptly, efficiently and courteously. As with previous orders all the items were beautifully wrapped and packaged extremely well. The order was delivered well within the required time frame.
I would recommend Demijohn not only for their delicious products but also for their customer service which cannot be faulted.

A lovely find.
The service was enthusiastic and personal. I was there with a friend who is a well known customer, and she was welcomed back like one of the family. The shop is tiny but packed full of goodies for food lovers. Good luck to the enterprise and to quote Arny: 'I'll be back.'
