 Refrigerated Products

Our cheeses and meats all have at least some curation and are thus able to be transported in unrefrigerated conditions without going bad. Under these circumstances, customers should be sure that they are able to receive delivery on the first attempt. Unfortunately, we cannot accept responsibility for degradation of such products that were unable to be delivered at the first attempt due to the customer being absent. If you are not sure that you will be available to accept delivery, consider contacting us to schedule delivery for a specific day, or preferably, have the goods delivered to your work address or to a neighbour provided of course that the goods can be refrigerated immediately on receipt. Please note that orders placed on Friday containing refrigerated products will be shipped on Monday.

Sale of Knives 

It is an offence for any person under the age of 18 years to purchase most kinds of knives. We shall only supply knives to customers over the age of 18 years. The sale of knives is regulated by Law and subject to our terms and conditions of sale.

We reserve the right to refuse the sale if we have reasonable cause to believe that the prospective customer is below the age of 18 years, or if we believe that the supply of goods to the prospective customer may infringe the Law or present an unacceptable potential risk to the safety of others.

You will be asked to verify your date of birth should you wish to purchase a knife.  Knives will only be delivered to the address of the person who has made the payment.
