Very repsonsive and personal customer service

I have just bought my 2nd batch of jams, pickles etc., Fedex the courier created a problem by not delivering for 2 days, but having contacted the company via their website I received a phone call from Christa who most apologetic and promised to sort things oout with the courier, which she did. That is a very responsive and personal customer service. The goods turned up bright and early. I am writing a review of the produce from my 1st order which was SO SO Good I had to try some others, hence the 2nd order.

Purchased Damson Jam and rhubarb and…

Purchased Damson Jam and rhubarb and ginger jams. Both were absolutely tasteless, all the taste was sugar and supermarket jams have more full fruity taste. Very expensive for an extremely poor jam.

Expensive but very cheap tasting tartare sauce

Bought the tartare sauce because we use alot and enjoy higher end - this was from a local "delicatessan" shop and expensive so we were looking forward to it.
Could tell from seeing inside that the texture was weird and so tasted a small teaspoon - awful -threw it away - oliy or liquidy or something just wrong.

Homemade jam?

Upon seenig a sign for homemade jam. I was foolishly in there like a bee. Not as anticipated. >50% fruit as was deceased folks. Lamentably, like factory produced. Far more sugar.
I shall retain the Strawberry at 50% & return the Marmalade Raspberry @ a bitterly disappointing 65% sugar. This despite the fact I learned from folks a little more less sugar, dependent upon, how sweet or not the fruit is. Not a bicket full. Bitterly disappointing.

Mrs Darlingtons Hollandaise is like a cheap nasty mayonnaise

Sarah Darlington makes a wonderful hollandaise sauce, I always use to buy it.
My local farm shop started selling Mrs Darlingtons hollandaise sauce instead.
This really is awful.
Tastes like a nasty cheap acidic mayonnaise. The extremely pale colour should have been an indicator of how bad it would be.
It completely ruined the meal and I certainly won’t buy it again.
The rest of the jar went straight in the bin.
It says on the label ‘Made with Love’
I don’t think so!

Awful unhealthy ingredients in this product

I usually make my own lemon curd with just butter, egg yolks, lemons and sugar . I was rushing so picked up this great taste award lemon curd marketed as a family homemade kind of product. The ingredients are terrible! Palm oil, margarine etc. It tastes cloying and set me back £3.55. Even Tiptree contains butter but not Mrs Darlingtons.

Disappointing

Tried the ‘hot’ Horseradish Sauce, not hot by anyone’s standards, vinegary and apart from that tasteless. Disappointing, I was looking forward to a nice nose burn if you understand me.

You HAVE to try this…

Quite simply the nicest thing I have ever eaten. Am trying all the flavours, they are all equally as lovely as each other. Very helpful when I emailed them. Got reply straight away. Will continue to use them. Keep up the good work
