Once again I have ordered a gift hamper from you to be delivered today for Mothers Day and it has turned up at the correct time (rare these days) packaged beautifully and full of glorious treats - my Mum is over the moon and looking forward to some cream tea indulgence this afternoon and I am a happy bunny as the produce is local to where I live - yet can be enjoyed by her living 5 hours away - Superb :-)

Thank you for the most amazing customer service I have epxerienced in a long time! I needed to call and pay a little extra for postage to Northern Ireland, but with a mad week due to my wee daughter being ill, is slipped my mind until too late to get the afternoon tea hamper to my own Mum for Mothers Day. Gutted, I sent a late email to Delimann apologising. And got one about 11pm saying not to worry they had posted it that morning anyway! To say I am delighted is an understatement. You made my week! The only sadness is I won't be with my mum on the day to see what it all tastes like! Thank you Gill and team you are fab x x

I just wanted to email to say a big thank you your service. I am in my first year at University so this is my first Mother's Day away from my Mum. Every year I make her a cream tea and, as I couldn't this year, I wanted to carry on the tradition. I sent her one of your cream teas in the post and it arrived today. I have just finished Skyping my Mum, who is very excited and has decided to eat her cream tea instead of the meal my Dad has made for her!
The whole thing worked very well and was excellent value for money.

Thanks you once again.

Dear Sir,
May I thank you for a superb service. I ordered the above for my wife and the communicaton
from yourselves and the Delivery Company cannot be faulted. I received an e.mail giving me
the one hour slot and behold ---- it was delivered on time.
As for the contents, both my wife and I would like to congratulate your team on the scones, we
have never tasted better (we are both in our mid 70's) and the cream, real Devonshire, the
supermarkets just cannot compete. The same also applies to the strawberry jam.
The whole experience was a delight.
Will you be doing anything special for Mother's Day, please.
Once again, many thanks for a wonderful tea.

Cream Teas - once the idea takes root, it's hard to shift. Sadly, it's even harder if you're not located in a West Country idyll, to find one. Delimann, a fine food emporium based in South Devon, has had the inspired idea of sending out cream teas by post"

I just wanted to say thank you to Delimann for delivering my son a
Devonshire Cream Tea at short notice last week.
It arrived on time (I only ordered it the day before! an afterthought on my part) and he was absolutely thrilled.
if I may quote him "the scones are giant, the jam was juicy and I could only manage 1!". He saved the rest for breakfast the next day. He also commented that it would make a super gift and I will surely keep it in mind.
