Please note that we can only send frozen products if you accept full responsibility for the condition of the pâté when it is delivered to you. We are unable to send frozen products under frozen or even refrigerated conditions. However, the product is frozen when it leaves us and is packed in a gourmet food box liner, ice and wrapped in bubble wrap to insulate it. However, depending on the transit conditions, and certainly if delivery is delayed, the product may be defrosted on arrival. We therefore advise you to time your order carefully, so that you will use the pâté within 7 days.

For delivery to the UK, orders will be dispatched by 24 hour courier, Tuesday to Thursday inclusive. This means that they can be delivered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We do not dispatch on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. This is to avoid potential weekend delivery problems and customer disappointment. Please give as much lead time for an order as possible. Instructions as to where the order may be left in the absence of a signature can be taken. Directions for non-numbered houses and difficult to find addresses will help with delivery.

Delivery in Europe or elsewhere will take at least 2 to 5 days.
