"Whether you’re a morning person or not, chances are you require a warm mug of tea or coffee to get you ready for the day. Whichever your desired drink is, both have their strong points.

There's no problem too big that can't be solved over a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Steamy and wholesome, the humble cup of tea is the ultimate solace when times get tough and the weather turns chilly. A comfort blanket, a hug, a sanctuary; the cup of tea is a warm mug of love and happiness there to console, to heal or just to help you relax.

As you yawn, stretch and shield your eyes from the sun shining through your curtains, you couldn't ask for anything more than a well brewed cup of tea to ease you into the morning. It's one of the simplest pleasures in life and should be savoured. How about a cup of tea, strawberry jam and freshly baked scones? The quintessentially British tradition would be incomplete without the staple fresh tea leaves brewed to perfection in a China teapot.

The embracing cup of Chai with its malty notes and it's time - honoured taste is something to be rivalled.

Enter coffee. There are many coffee choices out there, so whether you fancy a neat espresso, a creamy cappuccino or a tradition Americano, the old cup of Joe is a classic.

The golden nectar is the perfect complement to an advanced palette and considered the preferential pick me up. Known for its high caffeine levels, designed to give you a kick start, coffee is the ideal companion to see you through the mid-afternoon slump. Perky and powerful, a cup of coffee can be the most valuable sidekick in combating lethargy.

It can also act as the incentive for a date - just think of all the great romances which have evolved over the catalyst of coffee? Of all of the coffee shops in all of the world she walked into mine..that's some powerful stuff.

So whether you seek the solace of a builder's brew or crave the kick only coffee can provide, be sure to pop the kettle on and indulge."

 

 

Order Over £100 of Chilled Products and Your Shipping is 1/2 Price!

As you may know from our previous post, back in March we added a range of chilled products to our site, including proper British bacon, sausages, cheese and yogurts. Since then we have added more products to the range and have introduced a new shipping offer.

If you spend over £100 on chilled products your delivery costs will be halved. This offer obviously only applies to those countries where our chilled range is available (France, Germany, Monaco, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and the UK), but we are currently looking to extend this list of countries very soon.

We’re pleased to be able to offer this range of chilled products, as we get a lot of feedback from customers telling us how much they miss items such as British bacon and sausages.

One of our customers who previously lived in various parts of Germany and is a vegetarian, told us that having access to Quorn would have been particularly useful, as in cities such as Munich vegetarian products were hard to come by.

This is why we’ve made sure we have a wide selection of Quorn products within our range, and as with all our other categories, we will be extending these ranges even further in the coming weeks.

If there are any products that you struggle to find where you live, and we don’t already have it on the website, please do let us know via our suggest a product form and we will do our best to source it for you!
