Delivery service by DPD is top class. Its real time tracking really works. Double layer carton packing by C&B works well. Product quality is fantastic, at a price though.

Parcel was left safely with a neighbor . However I had requested that the parcel be left in my porch. Also a note saying where the parcel was would have been helpful.

Written by the company

Cartwright & Butler is a family-owned, luxury food and beverage brand based in Yorkshire, England that's known for creating outstanding teatime luxuries. We champion British traditions and bring a spirit of luxury and occasion to today's teatime treats. We seek out the best bakers and finest confectioners to make our products to unique and exacting recipes and create luxury teatime treats. At the heart of the Cartwright & Butler brand is a tradition of family bakers that spans five generations. Gordon Arnett bought his first bakery in Hull in 1940. After the war, he invested in a charming, double-fronted shop in Beverley which he ceremoniously named 'The Cake Shop'. The business grew and the family went on to run a series of successful bakeries, finally selling the last of their production facilities to Finsbury Foods in 2008. That's when a new passion for teatime treats was born. Spotting an opportunity to bring something different to the market, the Arnett family acquired the Cartwright & Butler brand and a new era was born. Today, Cartwright & Butler sells in over 40 countries worldwide. From the shelves of premium retailers, to food halls, farm shops, and leisure destinations across the country and in duty-free shops from London to Seoul, Cartwright & Butler's range of teatime treats delights millions of customers every year.

Great products and service

The order was delivered on time, packed well, so no breakages. I ordered salted caramel biscuits and stem ginger biscuits. Both are delicious and I definitely recommend them.

Tea time dookers are the best.

These boxes of tea time dookers are brilliant. Just don't dook to long or your tasty biscuit will plop into your tea or coffee. These biscuits are always a welcome surprise to send to anyone family and friends. My next order is always only a few months away. A friend loves getting her biscuits in the coloured tins to next her kitchen decor. Go on treat yourself then your friends and family.

Hampers are the way to success here.

So, I'm reviewing both the £25 coffee hamper and £11 solo tin of sugar coated shortbread rounds.

The Hamper itself came very well presented and I thought it was good value for money on the whole, my mum really liked it.

The shortbread I ordered as a treat for me however, for £11 with the size they are and getting only nine in a pack, it really made me think "where's the rest?" Sure they tasted nice, and were clearly of decent quality, but it doesn't justify that price, not for me at least.

Overall, great hamper, stick to buying the larger gift items 👍

I didn’t receive a confirmation email for the order or tracking information. You couldn’t never get on the account page to see the orders. Overall just was not impressed.
