Horchata de chufa

Horchata de chufa was impossibly sweet. We have had this to drink in Spain and Mallorca where it was a refreshing drink to have in the afternoons. But this one was far too sweet and I shall not purchase it again. The remainder of the order was just fine. It came very quickly and the goods were exactly as anticipated. But please look around for another source of Hechata de chufa.

Good delivery service

The website says authentic Spain. Before I ordered I checked the products where it was produce and it was written on the website a product of Spain. However, when the merchandise arrived, the canned sardines in tomatoe sauce were a product of Morocco. Their website shall state the origin of the merchandize so that customers will be aware on what's their money's worth. I wrote their customer's service about this situation but can't get a good answers from them.

Reply from The Tapas Lunch Company

Hi Anthony

I'm really sorry you weren't fully satisfied with your products.  On the website we state for each product where it is 'Produced In' - i.e. the part of Spain where the product is produced.  This particular product comes from a factory in Murcia.  We are very careful not to state that the raw material is also from there, because in most cases, products can contain raw materials from a variety of sources and these sources of change according to supply and season.  The product you are referring to, Sardines in Tomato Sauce, is a typical 'supermarket' style product that cost £1.25.  I have to point out that whether you buy this product in a supermarket in Spain, or from our website, the vast majority of brands will NOT be using national Spanish produce - it is too expensive.  Take a look around any Spanish supermarket and you will see that the fish comes from Morroco, the peppers from Peru and the asparagus from China - that's just the way the market works I'm afraid and the Spanish buying public are aware of this and still prefer the cheaper products.  Normally you have to pay 2 or 3 times the price for Spanish national product and we have found that people would rather have lower prices and imported raw materials.  Perhaps if you go to a delicatessen or 'El Club Gourmet' in El Corte Ingles you will find plenty of products for 6 to 10 Euro with national produce, but we don't sell that type of product.  We have found that customers are very happy with these products as they have a good balance between quality and price and you can't achieve that with products that use Spanish national ingredients, especially for fish, seafood and vegetable products where the Spanish raw material is 2 or 3 times the price.

Kind Regards

Excellent customer service, speedy 24hr delivery & delicious products!

I can't praise Tapas Lunch Company highly enough! The product selection was extensive, & everything we ordered was delicious & really good value. Our order was packaged well & delivered within 24 hours. Ordering online was very easy & the customer service I received on the telephone was excellent. I wish they did more than Spanish food! I would recommend them without hesitation.

you made a good party GREAT!!

took a chance and ordered these party foods. My daughter loves pardon peppers and had been disappointed to find she could not source them locally. Ordered from The Tapas Lunch Company and they arrived as promised. Could not have been fresher. The Spanish nibbles were superb. We had a wonderful "fiesta". Thank you. All my guests have been given your details so look out for some more Scottish customers!!

Great food, delivered fast :)

The Asturian Morcella is wonderful and the value pack almost half what I normally pay! Looking forward to trying the Sobrasada this weekend. Good communication from the company, hassle free service :)

Fast and efficient service. No waiting in all day for a delivery

I am very impressed with how easy the website was to use and with the swift delivery time. We were even given a timeslot of one hour so we didn't have to wait around for ages for the post. The items we ordered were very fresh and tasted just like the food we had recently in Spain. I have already recommended The Tapas Lunch Company to friends and will certainly be making more orders in the future.

Fun Spanish Club is always fun but this churros ready mix and press made it delicioso too!!!

As a teacher I'm always looking out for fun ways to inspire and motivate my pupils. I've organised Tapas tasting events in the past but never had quite so much fun as I did on Friday with my Year 2 and 3 pupils when we convinced Chef Pete (our school catering manager) to prepare us some tasty churros with chocolate dipping sauce. Not even the Headmaster could resist! Everyone went home with very chocolatey faces!!! ¡Qué RICO! A super tasty ready mix and easy to use churrera. Efficient delivery service. I will definitely be using you again for our forthcoming Open Day Name that Tapas and quesos quiz.

Excellent, authentic Spanish food.

We ordered a number of products, many of which we have had when we have been out in Spain. The products were excellent and really tasty - especially the olives. Our only complaint would be that one of the packets of rice had burst open in transit and a lot of the rice had spilled out and had to be thrown away. Also, and this is only a slight niggle, there was a lot of brine in the tin of olives so not as many olives as we had hoped. That said you do still get quite a lot of olives and they are to die for - these were the ones stuffed with anchovies - delicious. Despite the amount of brine/olives I would still definitely buy these again.

Lovely company

They are a lovely company, items are as described and delivery is fast and secure. Even items like the fresh padron peppers are good, just right for cooking and reminiscing about the beautiful foo of Andalucia

Viva Espana

Great service but expensive delivery for a small order, which as what I ordered could have been sent by post as my order was just some pate in tins and glass jars.
I understand fresh produce needs a next day delivery but pate in a tin could go ordinary post other that Brilliant!!

Your service excellent, delivery company poor

I can't fault the quality of the products or your service but the delivery service was poor. The day they were supposed to come I was in all day, by 4pm I rang my daughter in law (this was a gift from her)and she tracked the parcel. On her computer it gave a card number that was supposed to have come through my letterbox. I checked mt box and the block box , no card. My daughter in law rang them and they said they didn't know where the card had been put in but they would try again the next day. My daughter in law said it would have to be before as I was going out to my birthday party after that. It didn'tarrive before noonso I rang her and on her computer was a message saying it would be there between 5 and 6pm! She tried ringing but couldn't get through to an operator. It eventually arrived the day after that.

Tasty little memories of Majorca !

Padron Peppers first experienced on holiday in Majorca. So happy to find them on The Tapas Lunch Company website . Just as good as the first experience, so had to introduce them to the family ! All who found them to be 'Just Yummy' Delivery spot on.

Love the tapas lunch company!

All the items I have received from the Tapas Lunch Company arrive promptly and well packaged. The products are fantastic, I've ordered various tapas, spices and of course turron! All of which have reminded me of lovely holidays with friends in Spain!
