Delivery service by DPD is top class. Its real time tracking really works. Double layer carton packing by C&B works well. Product quality is fantastic, at a price though.

Parcel was left safely with a neighbor . However I had requested that the parcel be left in my porch. Also a note saying where the parcel was would have been helpful.

Written by the company

Cartwright & Butler is a family-owned, luxury food and beverage brand based in Yorkshire, England that's known for creating outstanding teatime luxuries. We champion British traditions and bring a spirit of luxury and occasion to today's teatime treats. We seek out the best bakers and finest confectioners to make our products to unique and exacting recipes and create luxury teatime treats. At the heart of the Cartwright & Butler brand is a tradition of family bakers that spans five generations. Gordon Arnett bought his first bakery in Hull in 1940. After the war, he invested in a charming, double-fronted shop in Beverley which he ceremoniously named 'The Cake Shop'. The business grew and the family went on to run a series of successful bakeries, finally selling the last of their production facilities to Finsbury Foods in 2008. That's when a new passion for teatime treats was born. Spotting an opportunity to bring something different to the market, the Arnett family acquired the Cartwright & Butler brand and a new era was born. Today, Cartwright & Butler sells in over 40 countries worldwide. From the shelves of premium retailers, to food halls, farm shops, and leisure destinations across the country and in duty-free shops from London to Seoul, Cartwright & Butler's range of teatime treats delights millions of customers every year.

When Only The Best Will Do

Lovely quality biscuits in a very attractive tin. Delivery was quick and arrived safely as it was well packaged. Bought as a gift and know it'll be greatly appreciated by someone who's a bit of a biscuit expert. Cartwright & Butler's range for when only the best will do. Could be your motto. Thanks.

Excellent Customer Service

My order arrived with some damages due to rough handling and not quite sufficient packing. I contacted customer services with photos, they immediately apologised and rectified the problem with all the damaged goods replaced, sent out and delivered the following day. The biscuits themselves are always gorgeous, beautifully baked and delicious flavours.

Exceptional customer service

Exceptional customer service! When I wanted to change the address of a Hamper order they did it immediately and sent a very good quality range of products. I love the option of choosing the contents of my Hamper, so I can tailor the gift to my friends’ preferences. Well done! Many thanks.

This was a birthday gift

This was a birthday gift for a dear relative, ordering was easy and the gift was received yesterday as promised.
I know the goodie box will delight the recipient, I can always rely on the quality of the products.

Customer Care... but don't care....I am shocked!

I collect these BEAUTIFUL tins .....but don't expect the biscuits inside to be mishaped, cracked or broken BEFORE the sellophane is even removed. I reached out to the email address but nobody bothered to reply. I then reached out further by filling in the online form and finally got a reply. There is nothing they can do. So, not only do they not want to help, but they don't care about their customers or about the presentation of the buscuits either, they are obviously packed like it. I am really disappointed with their response especially as I am a regular customer and was planning on buying a special hamper at £100 from them too.😥😔
A good company will try and sort things out if things have gone wrong.....this company simply doesn't care at all.😔
Please show you care and do something to restore my faith in Cartwright & Butler.

Being able curate my own gift box with what I knew the recipient would love…and she was thrilled with it.
Great service too when I couldn’t add the gift message. I emailed and they immediately added it to the order.

Lovely biscuits always.

I have eaten your biscuits before and enjoyed them much so I ordered some refills for my empty tins. This time the items ordered were sent as a belated birthday gift, and was told they were delivered on time, and in good order, which was also my experience too, on my past order.

Good service

Really nice products that arrived on time in well packed boxes that can be recycled.
The tins containing the biscuits, tea etc were free of damage, these being wrapped in material that is ready for recycling.
