Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service in respect of a pepper mill which had broken and was out of guarantee from John Lewis.
A replacement mill was provided without quibble for one which had failed after 18 months use.
One star deducted for the initial design of the mill which meant that when it failed, bit of plastic fell into the sauce I was making.

Wonderful customer service
Wonderful customer service and the communication was great as well.
I had an issue with the salt mill, not the pepper one. Emailed the customer service team and got an immediate acknowledgement, followed by a detailed query regarding the issue in next couple of days. Phoebe was very understanding, helpful, and prompt in responding emails. The complete set was eventually replaced due to the mechanical fault and warranty, thanks for all your assistance.

Lovely kitchenware
Lovely kitchenware.
I bought the Derwent Mills, they look great and grind well. Really happy with the carbon steal mechanism on the pepper mill.
Will they stand the test of time?.... I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Super customer service
Super customer service! Got in touch with them recently because my pepper mill broke which was a shame even though I’ve had the set for a few years . Same day reply asking for photos, details etc which i sent followed by another prompt reply informing me that a replacement mill was being dispatched. Very happy with this service and looking forward to many more years of seasoning !
Update…… first contact with them was Tuesday, received my replacement on Friday! Outstanding service!!!

Truly amazing service. Lost knob on my old pepper mill, eventually saw make underneath so contacted customer service to see if could source a replacement knob (which I had many times looked for unsuccessfully on ebay etc). Replacement immediately sent out free of charge, no questions asked.
What fantastic customer service!!! Thank you.

My 6 year old pepper mill stopped grinding as central pin shirred off.
Contacted cole and mason as the mill had a lifetime guarantee.
They responded immediately to my email and asked for further information and photographs.
Once this information given I received a reply advising that my pepper mill had been discontinued therefore I was given a gift voucher to purchase a replacement mill.
Customer services helpful and efficient and I am a happy customer waiting for my new mill to arrive.

I was very pleased with their service
I was very pleased with their service, and helpful resolution of the problem. I had bought a carving board which after some two years developed a crack. They replaced it without argument, with a new identical one.
