Your order is sent directly to our secure till in our shop for processing. Once we have received your order and payment, our staff will pick, pack and dispatch the item.

You will receive an email giving you details of your delivery with a consignment number for you to track your order. You may leave instructions as to where to leave the ordered goods at the time of your order. If you are not in when the goods are delivered, goods may be left with neighbours and/or a card will be left with contact details for you to arrange another delivery. If the courier is not contacted, they will automatically try to deliver your beers on the next two consecutive days, leaving a contact card on the first day and a card to advise of the consignment being returned to the depot on the second. Should the goods then be returned to the Company after all attempts have failed, we will issue a full credit minus delivery charges, or re-despatch on your instruction when the same delivery cost will be charged against your account.
