"Amazing food. Quick delivery, everything ordered arrived and all packaged up really well. I had the Turkey Dip and some homemade chips both were so delicious - homemade chips make all the difference, cooked to perfection and were such a treat. The children’s meals are lovely and a great price - quality sausages, those lovely homemade chips, beans and included a fruit shoot - little one really enjoyed it! Also got some desserts the banoffee tart was heaven and those homemade iced mince pies look delicious and will go down a treat. Highly recommend, such an asset to have so close to where we live. Feels like everything is done with such care and attention and honestly the food is wonderful."
