Rest assured, we prioritise both speed and quality to ensure your goods reach you in optimal condition.
All perishable orders are packed in cooler boxes or bags, with either or both dry ice & ice bricks as required to ensure your items are delivered in the same fresh condition as they left the depot in. Please note dry ice does sublimate (evaporate). This means, though it may not still be present when you open your cooler, your items should still be cold to touch and have been kept cool along transport.
Unforeseen shipping delays, which are beyond our control, may occur. Should such circumstances arise, we will diligently keep our customers informed, allowing them the option to cancel or amend their order before it is dispatched. Once orders have been dispatched, orders are no longer eligible for cancellation.

Q: Are your products halal?
A: Our commitment to providing products that meet diverse dietary preferences and requirements is paramount to us.
While our products are not technically certified halal, we’re pleased to inform you that all our products and facilities adhere to strict vegan standards. This means that we do not incorporate any animal-based ingredients in our recipes. Additionally, we currently do not utilise alcohol in the production process of any of our products.
Therefore, our products inadvertently align with halal standards. Rest assured, we prioritise transparency and quality in every aspect of our production to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs and preferences.
Q: Are your production facilities gluten-free?
A: While we prioritise the safety and satisfaction of all our customers, we want to be transparent about our production facilities with regards to our gluten-free item production. While we take rigorous precautions to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, it’s important to note that our facilities are not certified as 100% gluten-free.
We understand the significance of dietary restrictions and are committed to providing accurate information to help you make informed choices. If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding gluten, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Your well-being is our priority, and we’re here to assist you in any way we can.
Q: Do you hold stock or will I receive substitution(s) if an item is out of stock?
A: At our production facility, we strive to maintain a robust inventory of our products, ensuring availability for our customers across various platforms including from our online store, from our UberEats kitchens, and our food truck events. While we work diligently to keep our products stocked and available at all times, we’re also a small-scale production facility continuously crafting more goods to meet demand.
In the event that you order an item currently out of stock or awaiting production, rest assured we’ll handle it seamlessly. We’ll substitute it with a product of similar nature from our range. If a suitable alternative isn’t available, we’ll promptly reach out to you to discuss possible substitutes, to arrange backorder, obtain a credit on the item or to provide a refund for the unavailable item.
Should you have any specific preferences or concerns regarding substitutions, feel free to let us know, and we’ll accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. Thank you for your understanding and support!
