I ordered a beef wellington kit, but for reasons totally out with the control of the company, the kit arrived late. The staff replied back to me very quickly and readily acknowledged the food safety issue and advised me not to consume it. They were very apologetic and offered to send out a replacement. They went above and beyond to ensure that this replacement kit arrived in good time and it did.
When the kit arrived, it did not disappoint... It was well packed and insulated. It contained everything that I needed to prepare the meal (including a temperature probe). The ingredients were of a great quality too and much of it was pre-prepared and/or measured out (pastry, crepe, duxelle, jus, egg yolk, mustard). I just needed to construct the wellington and cook it, cook the vaccum packed potatoes and then mash them and finally, warm up the jus and serve.
The pack contained easy to follow instructions and it wasn't long before I was eating a restaurant quality meal that I had cooked in my own kitchen.
The meal kit itself was worthy of a five star review, however, I would like to highlight the fantastic standard of customer service that this company provides. I am happy to accept that sometimes, customer expectations are not met, and in this case, it was the delivery time of my initial order. Although disappointed at not being able to enjoy the beef wellington kit when I hoped to do so, the customer service I received more than made up for this.
The staff replied to my emails very quickly, often with a couple of hours. They acknowledged the problem and sounded genuinely interested in trying to rectify the issue for me. They kept in contact with me throughout until I had received the replacement pack.
My definition of good customer service is not so much about the interaction being problem free, to me, it's more about how a company reacts once they are made aware of a problem. I have to say, this experience has left me feeling very impressed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. A great quality product backed up by great quality customer service
