What do our customers think?

"Hello there, I just wanted to say how happy we were with your service and the quality of the food. It was so easy that everything was ready when we arrived - and so attractively displayed! I thought the quality of the food was outstanding and it was particularly nice that so much of the food was local. I really enjoyed the honey, butter, chicken, carrots, tomatoes, apples and especially the potatoes.
I look forward to ordering through you next time we come to Cornwall.
Kind regards, Helle Sorensen" (guest at Waterwitch Cottage Polruan Oct09)

We're just back from a lovely week at Watergate Bay and just wanted to say thank you for the delicious food! It really did exceed our expectations, the home made curry and the chocolate pudding were so tasty and the service was really friendly. It is great to be supporting local producers and we'll be sure to use you again on our next trip to Cornwall. Thanks again, Best regards, Hannah Showler.

Hello Nick
We have just returned home after a glorious week relaxing in Porth enjoying the niceties of life, A good start was made when we were greeted with the various items purchased and delivered by your Company and we were able to immediately enjoy the scones and clotted cream !! The service and quality you provided makes it so easy for people like us. We shall certainly contact you when next staying in Cornwall
Regards, Mike Richman, guest at Glendurgal apartments, Newquay

'I (very belatedly) just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing service you offer. The curry was gorgeous....The chicken was greeted with the comments "just how chicken used to taste." I always buy organic at home but the sausages, bacon, cheese etc were far superior to what we usually eat!' I have no doubt that we will use your company again, and I have been singing your praises to anyone who will listen! Good luck with the company, you certainly deserve to succeed. Have a great season, Best wishes, Karen DiMascio, guest at Valleybrook Holidays.

'On the afternoon of our arrival, the food appeared right on schedule - and it was just like Christmas. It meant at least one less box compared to earlier holidays and removed the need to search for shops on the first couple of days or carry shopping when we could be walking the coast path. Thank you!' Liz Neumann Cottrell, guest at Spyglass Apartment, Polperro.

‘Thanks for the order which arrived by mid-day of our first day of holiday (before us!) the quality and quantity of the produce was fantastic and shamed our local services. Please pass on our appreciation to your butchery and dairy/grocery suppliers.’ Craig and Emma Dunn, guests at Cutkive Wood Holiday Lodges
