Fantastic unusual items good prices

I found Company by chance after seeing some of their products in a showroom which I absolutely loved. I sent for two glass candle wall scones. I love them that much. I have repeated the order for another wall they were on offer, customer services were brilliant when I telephoned to ask some questions about the scones before I ordered them and they came within two days of ordering. I wish all companies had this customer service and your products are lovely. I would definitely use you again I have recommended you to family who are also going to be ordering. I did ask if there was a referral scheme but there isn’t otherwise I would’ve earned a fortune well done. C C 🩷

I have had a great experience with this company. The candle sconces I ordered were gorgeous and arrived early and very well packaged. Will be using this company again.

Muriel in CS was really helpful

Muriel in CS was really helpful - credit to the company.There was a chance that my mussel eaters would not arrive in time from Christmas but arrived in just a few days. The mussel eaters are a lovely quirky gift for mussel fans.
Pleasure to purchase from this company.

First Class Service

I have to say, I’m addicted to Culinary Concepts, especially the Stag range. I have just about every piece there is!
I needed to exchange a piece and it was sent out the same day with no problems, Customer Service at CC is exemplary, thank you!

My initial order was for the Olive Oval Serving Tray, Olive Three Section Dish, Set of 4 Olive Picks with Holder and Set of 6 Top Hat & Cane Olive Picks with Holder. I must say I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the items, they all look amazing and I immediately ordered two more products in the range. Everything came beautifully boxed and the despatch packing was exemplary.

Poor service, product not great

I received a product I was unhappy with. Despite promises to that a full refund would be paid if the product was not suitable I received only a partial refund.
I'm disappointed with my dealings with this company so can't recommend.
If considering a potential purchase I'd recommend you excersise caution. Buyer beware

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are genuinely sorry to hear you were left feeling disappointed after your experience with us.

Just to clarify for the benefit of other customers reading this: a full refund was issued for the product itself, in line with our returns policy. Like many online retailers, our Terms and Conditions explain that original shipping costs and return postage are not refundable when an item is returned simply because it’s no longer wanted, rather than due to a fault or error.

From our communication, it appeared the item simply wasn’t needed due to an error in ordering, rather than there being an issue with the product. So we're sorry if there was any misunderstanding, especially as that differs slightly from what’s been reflected in the review.

We’re also sorry to hear you felt let down by our customer service. We do work hard to offer a helpful and fair experience to all our customers, and it’s disappointing to know we missed the mark for you on this occasion.

We really do value your feedback, and if there’s anything else we can do to help or clarify, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

One side of our lantern smashed so I called culinary concepts in the hope that they would be able to fix it or send out a replacement glass pane. The lady I spoke to at the customer service team said she would look into whether a third party could fix it. However, I then received an email saying that they were not able to help me and that I should contact a local glass glazier. I am disappointed as I thought they would be able to do more.

Dear Megan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the outcome.

We understand you contacted us after accidentally smashing a glass panel on your lantern. We only sell complete lantern units and do not stock individual replacement glass panels for health and safety reasons.

When you contacted our customer service team, they did their best to assist by advising you to contact a registered glazier who could safely replace the glass. We understand this may not have been the solution you were hoping for, and we apologise for any frustration caused.

If there is anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

The Customer Service Team

Fantastic products and excellent customer service!

I have a fair selection of these fabulous products. They are quirky and fun while being functional. Delivery is super quick and the packing is excellent. On the one occasion that I had a very small problem with one item the problem was rectified extremely quickly and efficiently. Thank you and I can't wait to add more to my collection.

Item dispatched quickly, well packaged and arrived safely.

Fantastic product and service

I ordered the Medium Stirrup Picture Frame via Not on the High Street. I was hopeful the frame would look at good as it did in the picture and I wasn't disappointed. It is stunning. What a beautiful, classy gift for someone who has a horse or just loves horses. I want one for myself now. Delivery was also super fast. Delighted with all aspects of my order. Thank you.
