Cheese and wine hampers? Post Reply

[sunsout]

Given the Covid situation we are re thinking our holiday plans and I would like to send hampers as gifts to those we were going to be visiting. Wondering if anyone has any ideas or used any companies that they would recommend?  Particularly interested in cheese and wine ones but any ideas welcome. Thanks in advance!

We received a lovely hamper from The Fine Cheese Company last Christmas.  Also sent one as a birthday gift a few months ago and it went down very well.  We've had positive comments on wine gifts sent from Valvona and Crolla too.

Thanks so much. Will check out both!

If you want to shop local and help a local business then try The Eclectic Collection at 575 Garratt Lane (there seems to be a problem with their website at the moment).  They double up as a really nice delicatessen and as a cafe, so are probably suffering from reduced footfall.  They did a really good hamper for us earlier in the year, and we are planning to get them to do another for much the same reason as you.

PS - I've just worked out that their website is at http://theeclecticcollection.co.uk/home2/

Thanks Chorister will take at look at this too. Their website looks amazing. Never even know it existed, looks great for a private hire as well.

Have you checked out Hamish Johnson and Philglas and Swiggot? I’m not sure if they can send stuff but they’re both great local businesses.
