My membership number was not recognised in the online shop. This remains the case despite my calling English Heritage six weeks ago. I managed to get my membership discount following an exchange of emails but my membership number query remains unresolved.

Lovely raspberry curd…

Wanted to re order some raspberry curd to use in a wedding cake I am making for my daughter as previously used and it was lovely
The only issue I had was that I had to wait a while for it to come back in stock !
However I am looking forward to it tasting great !

The products are excellent

The products are excellent, my only gripe is that my membership number wasn't accepted when making payment even though it is in date. Also you cannot speak to anyone when you contact customer service, you leave a message but no one returns my call.

Very disappointed with the delivery of…

Very disappointed with the delivery of the English heritage gift by DX Delivery that I arranged for a friend of mine. My friend was home and waiting for the delivery. However they did not ring the bell or knock on the door and he was disgusted to eventually find the package had been thrown behind a bin after much searching. At first he thought it had not been delivered at all and was very annoyed. This sort of service is not acceptable.
