Company details
Written by the company
All our marmalades are 100% handmade from fresh fruit, simmered until the peel is soft before boiling to a set with sugar. In our opinion, this is the only way to make a good marmalade. The sharpness and clarity of the fruit shines through. Our Award winning marmalades are made in North Devon in batches of 22 jars, and have the kick to wake you up in the morning. Why make it yourself?

It has a lovely intense sharp taste, not too sweet. Tastes like the marmalade I make myself.

I am very sorry to hear that and I have refunded you for a Jar. Occasionally this can happen due to the fragile nature of glass. Fortunately it is not that common.

Shipment was quickly delivered and arrived well packaged. Have only tried the bergomet variety so far but it is utterly delicious. Can't wait to try the other flavours.

Absolutely love this company - and their marmalades
Absolutely love this company - their marmalades are delish! My first time ordering for delivery as usually I’ll stock up whilst down in Ilfracombe for my summer holidays - however, having tasted their new Lime & Fennel (which does go sublimely with blue cheese, as suggested by the lovely owner lady), I had to order more for gifts and for my own personal pleasure. Jars arrived fully intact and within time advised. Deffo recommend!
