This is a fabulous small business

This is a fabulous small business. I’ve been a customer for quite a few years now and the quality of the oysters and other products is very high. The oysters always arrive beautifully packaged and fresh and importantly on the specified date. Jeremy has always provided a first class customer service too.

My experience has been 10/10

My experience has been; that the oysters have been top notch, succulent and tasty. They have arrived on time. There has been good communication. I would recommend buying oysters here. Enjoy.

Simply the best Oysters

I've been using these guys for many years now and have never been disappointed.
To be able to get such wonderfully fresh oysters at source, delivered to your door feels like a true priviledge!
Customer service is second to none and has a friendly and efficient personal style that is always reassuring and fair.
Top marks all round from me!

Whole side of smoked salmon hand sliced

I ordered a whole side of smoked salmon, hand sliced. The order was acknowledged and subsequently I was kept well informed of its progress. The courier was first rate and the smoked salmon was so much appreciated at our party that I didn't have the opportunity to sample it myself! I have already circulated the company details among the many who requested them

Excellent oysters and smoked eel.

We recently ordered three dozen Maldon Oysters from Simply Oysters as we have done before. On this occasion we also ordered a whole smoked eel. Both were delivered on time in good condition and both oysters and smoked eel were excellent.
Personally, I believe buying the whole eel with the skin on means you get a better taste than you can ever get with pre-sliced eel, although that can be very good.
Overall two excellent products that gave us a great deal of pleasure on the bank holiday weekend.
We will certainly be repeating the order although as the season c hanges we may well buy the native oysters rather than the rock oysters.
All strongly reccomended.

Usually great

I’ve used Simply Oysters several times, and the oysters are generally lovely and the service great. On this occasion, however, one of my Maldons opened after 2 days and refused to close, despite being cleaned and kept in the fridge with a damp teatowel over them since the moment of delivery. I obviously discarded the dead one. These things happen, and I will use you again, but I thought I should explain why I didn’t give 5 stars.

Great service

I came across SimplyOysters by chance, thought give it a try. I like the informative site and suggestions online. Jeremy was very helpful when I booked the inconvenient delivery date (for myself). We received the delivery on time. Oysters were kept fresh and tasted delicious. A happy customer.

Avoid this company....

Upon receipt of the delivery package, the package and the oysters inside the package were warm, which apparently have been kept under room temperature for several hours. This means the oysters were being shipped under room temperature and did not meet the requirements of UK Law about transporting high risk food (including oysters, refer to UK Food Safety Act 1990). This is putting us at risk of food poisoning.
Simple Oysters refused to provide a full refund to us, and insisted their shipment process was standard. This is highly unacceptable from a customer point of view.
I would never buy from a business who ship oysters under room temperature, especially during heatwave in summer time! This is ridiculous!

Hi GL,

Thanks for your review.

Our oyster farms have been supplying oysters to our clients since 2013 to date. Our oyster farms comply with UK food, health and safety laws, which includes growing, harvesting, depuration, packing and shipping of oysters. We do not accept orders for oysters for delivery to our clients during heatwaves or whenever heatwaves are forecast.

Your oysters were taken from the depuration tank and packed live to order in a box by the oyster farm and stored in their commercial fridge on 22 July, then couriered overnight to your local courier depot, and hand-delivered to you by your local courier at your address in London at 10.46am on 23 July. The outside temperature in your postcode in London was a pleasant 21 degrees at the time of delivery – there was no heatwave in London or elsewhere on in the UK on 22 or 23 July.

When you contacted us in the afternoon on 23 July, we reassured you the oysters were closed, very hardy, and quite used to the outside temperatures, as at each low tide the oysters are exposed to the elements/temperatures (during July, up to 31 degrees). We confirmed the oyster farm complies with UK food, health and safety laws. We requested you place a damp tea towel over the oysters and store them in the fridge, and after an hour they can be consumed with a shelf life of up to 7 days. We advised for us to consider a refund, we need you to email a photo of the oysters to us. Later that night, you emailed us one photo which showed the opened shipment box with the lid placed loosely on top, however, no oysters were shown in the photo. As you did not email a photo of the oysters to us, no refund applies.

If you have any questions or require any further assistance, please email me at team@simplyoysters.com

Regards,

Jeremy Stevens

Excellent choice and service

Ordered on a Monday for Thursday delivery, received a 2 hour window for delivery and the maldon oysters and smoked fish arrived. Well packaged and insulated, the oysters were boxed and clean. We ate them over the following 4 days. Always delicious whether au naturel or cooked.
Always a great service, excellent choice and amazing oysters.

I ordered 24 rock oysters to be delivered to my house.
I ended up needing to rearrange the delivery details for a different delivery address due to my own mix up and the customer service team were outstanding and very helpful.
Jeremy in particular was very helpful and provided lots of detailed information about the shipping and packaging procedure as well as information on how to store the oysters properly.

The oysters themselves were phenomenal, on par with the oysters I had in Paris a couple weeks ago which inspired my initial purchase.
They oysters were fresh and sweet, I paid extra for the larger sizes and I was very happy with what was delivered.

I'm looking forward to my next purchase from this gem of a company.

Extremely fresh

Extremely fresh, I can assume they were caught maximum the day before West Mersea Wild Pacific Oysters, absolute delight, apple aftertaste, smell and taste divine. 10/10
Thank you for the quick delivery. Will order again when back in stock!
