My first order.
First of all, excellent packing of goods, nothing was damaged. I have tried half of the items ordered including bacon, pies, sausage rolls and quiche. The pork pie was actually one of the best I have ever had. All the other items were very good and I will be reordering some of them.

We’re delighted that everything arrived carefully packed and that you’ve enjoyed the selection so far. Hearing that our Pork Pie is one of the best you’ve ever had is a fantastic compliment!
We look forward to welcoming you back for your next order.

Top Notch!
The meat is excellent and very well packaged. However, the Beef Wellington I recently purchased, although very nice, due to the size (serves 2), the mushroom pate melts into the meat rather than being a separate "feature"; ideally, it needs to be bigger and to serve 4 - I think then it would cook better and look like the picture. I understand why it's been made smaller but for £37, I think it's a little over priced.
I will continue to buy my meat from Dukeshill and I'd also like to mention that the customer service is very good, also. Despite the slightly negative review of the Beef Wellington, I would still highly recommend DukesHill for quality and service.

The food was exceptional BUT...
The food was exceptional, and we will definitely order from you again BUT the communications were a bit problematic. Firstly, I had to phone you to get the 10% discount for first ever order properly applied. Then the order information had no mention at all of the free fillet of salmon I was promised, so I was not sure whether that had been included until checking by phone. Then, when the goods were delivered, the St George's Ham came with cooking instructions! This sent me into a momentary panic as I have never cooked a ham that large before and haven't got the equipment to do so. This was the centre piece of the table for 16 guests next day, so didn't want to serve them a raw ham! Of course the ham was actually cooked, but it arriving with instructions how to cook frightened the horses unnecessarily! It was funny in the end but please send better literature with your cooked hams.

We’re delighted to hear that the food was exceptional and that you’ll be ordering from DukesHill again. However, we’re sorry that the communication surrounding your order wasn’t as clear or straightforward as it should have been.
We completely understand the confusion around the discount and complimentary salmon, particularly when you had to contact us to confirm everything. We’re also very sorry about the incorrect cooking instructions being included with your St George’s Ham! We can certainly appreciate the moment of panic that must have caused when you were preparing to feed 16 guests the following day.
We’ll make sure your feedback regarding the literature included with our cooked hams is passed on to the relevant team, as we certainly don’t want to frighten any more horses unnecessarily!
Thank you again for your constructive feedback and for choosing DukesHill. We’re pleased everything worked out in the end and, most importantly, that you enjoyed the food.

The food was delicious and easy to prepare but there was an issue with the packaging which meant that one item wasn’t usable. Having notified the company I received a refund.

Fabulous customer service
I have been a customer for a few years. We particularly love the steak pies ( you must give them a try). They are packed full.of.meqt in a nice pastry and freezer well too.
During the heatwave my order that was due to arrive for a family picnic was delayed by a day which meant it would be too late. I phoned to cancel.my order as I was away all.weekend. The order still arrived so was no good after two days on the doorstep. All I can say is give this company a chance to rectify before posting a bad review. I informed them and they have gone up.and beyond to rectify this. They were very apologetic and immediately agreed to refund me. I then got a message through their FB page saying they would like to send my order again completely free of charge which they did and as always the food was outstanding, quiches, pork pie, sausage rolls, salmon, steak pies all amazing. Their customer service and attention to detail is second to none.
I was initially upset as it was a lot of food and money to waste but I now have every confidence to order again knowing that on occasions when mistakes happen they will put right.
Thank you Dukeshill Team, you are all a credit to the company.

Reply from DukesHill
We are very sorry to hear about your experience, particularly after your first few orders had been so positive.
To receive several packs of sausages that you felt were not right, despite being within date, is understandably concerning and disappointing. We’re also sorry that when you originally contacted us, you were left feeling that the matter had not been properly resolved. You should have felt listened to and supported when you raised your concerns with us.
I can confirm that a member of our team has now reached out to you directly via email so that we can look into what happened and discuss this with you properly.
We appreciate that some time has passed since the original order and that the experience has resulted in you no longer ordering from us. Nevertheless, we would really value the opportunity to address your concerns and hopefully restore some of your confidence in DukesHill.
Please accept our sincere apologies again for both the product experience and the way your original concerns were handled.

I’ve had 3 orders now and all were truly brilliant. The quality of all their produce is excellent, I can’t fault it. I did have a suggestion for them which was to put a layer of plastic in between the pies that I’d ordered and the ice packs, which were in danger of melting and making the pies soggy.They took notice of this and the next two orders included plastic wrapping. Customer service is excellent. Rilliant all round.

It arrived Monday having been sitting in Inverness since Wednesday. This the normal DPD service for the household customers - they only transfer from Inverness to Stornoway at the weekend. They are not a good carrier for the island.

We’re very sorry for the delay to your delivery and completely understand your concerns, particularly given the time your order spent at the Inverness depot before reaching Stornoway.
For our island customers, we appreciate that the additional journey involved can make deliveries more challenging, and your comments regarding the DPD service between Inverness and Stornoway are important feedback for us.
We certainly don’t want customers on the islands receiving a service that leaves orders sitting at a depot for several days before being transferred onwards. We will make sure your feedback is passed on to the relevant team so that the delivery service and options available for these areas can continue to be reviewed.
We’re very sorry again for the inconvenience and concern caused by the length of time your order took to reach you, and we appreciate you taking the time to make us aware of your experience.

I bought a sourdough loaf that was simply awful. I reviewed it truthfully on their website, nasty, dry and no flavour (waste of £4.90) but the review has been removed twice after saying it was "pending review". Not impressed at all with the bread and the review not showing.

We’re very sorry to hear how disappointed you were with the sourdough loaf. At £4.90, you quite rightly expected a product that you would enjoy, and we’re sorry that you found it dry and lacking in flavour.
We’re also concerned to hear about your experience trying to leave a product review on our website. We absolutely value both positive and negative feedback, as honest customer reviews are important in helping us understand where products may not be meeting expectations.
We will pass your comments regarding the sourdough directly to our product team, and we will also raise the issue you’ve experienced with your review showing as “pending review” and subsequently not appearing on the website with the relevant team so that this can be looked into.
I can also confirm that a member of our team has reached out to you directly via email regarding your experience, so that we can discuss your concerns with you and have the opportunity to put things right.
Please accept our apologies for both the disappointment with the loaf and the frustration caused when trying to share your feedback. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to look into it.

Brilliant pies!
I have tried many a pie from very many shops big and small and can say at last I have found one that is filled properly with meat and tastes amazing. Cooked very easily with pastry that is crisp and short. Will buy again. Also had quiches delivered which again were just brilliant. The ham joint perhaps a little smaller than thought but nevertheless very tasty. All arrived very well packed and delivered chilled in the middle of a heatwave in very good condition. Well done DukesHill.

Large order of food that was too late.
Large order of food that was ordered for a family party did not arrive in time for the party and forced us to have to find a suitable alternative within two hours.
Having ordered hams for numerous years and recommending your company to our friends we were even more disappointed with the dismissive attitude shown to us after the event .

Reply from DukesHill
We are incredibly sorry to hear about your experience, particularly as your order was intended for a family party and you had trusted us to have everything with you in time.
We completely understand how stressful it must have been to discover that the order was not going to arrive as expected and then have to find a suitable alternative for your family within just two hours. This is certainly not the experience we want any DukesHill customer to have.
What is equally disappointing to hear is that you felt the response you received from us afterwards was dismissive. When we have let a customer down, particularly in circumstances such as these, you should feel that your concerns are being listened to and taken seriously. We are very sorry that this was not how you were made to feel.
As someone who has ordered our hams for many years and has been kind enough to recommend DukesHill to friends, we particularly appreciate the trust you have placed in us, which makes it all the more disappointing that we let you down on this occasion.
A member of our team will be reaching out to you directly via email so that we can look into what happened, discuss your experience properly and see what we can do to put things right.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the failed delivery, the considerable inconvenience it caused on the day of your family party, and for the way you felt your concerns were handled afterwards.

“Another one bites the dust” (Order, and door!)
First in truth, I have already genuinely very positively, deservedly as well, posted a review for DukesHill.
But I see another email invitation since my recent order so….
And as well, repeat reviews are critical and show even more so lol…
Well again, identical ease as ever so quickly placing the order first.
I struggle personally with focus and attention.
Sites checkout even basketing’s processes CAN be a little cryptic and I say flawed in slight- until you LEARN exactly how THAT whole site operates lol
(true tale,)
Zero “learning” haha placing orders with DukesHill.
Please people value this like I. It’s a responsibility ultimately of a small but thriving company to make ordering a virtual parkwalk for people like myself with an optic nerve injury hence inability to peruse too formally.
So, on that, they live up again! Enough don’t and I wish they would.
So appreciate this also please- a month and half after my last order, I speed to checkout.
Again, next day delivery, IF, I want it! Yes please Sir!
Click, and my goods were safely with me next morning.
Another note- it was a hot day and I received always clear warm email from DukesHill night before, saying tomorrow’s orders will be sent with extra ice and by 1 pm no customer extra charge.
So just handing earned credit, DukesHill evidently are always fully mindful to ensure their goods are never exposed to any degrading agents like heat.
Excellent but easy open packaging always.
What else can I say? Time & time again they will come through.
I write the above not because I gain or am affiliated in any way, I’m a very happy customer life benefitting daily with respect from the goods I am delivered, no hyperbole I swear.
And they just operate supremely website to door, appear from my notice a real warm human collective driving DukesHill ready and happy to connect with any customer whenever, is my feeling also.
Let them grow though still, I suddenly see. Why not??
