Christmas Delivery
With Christmas just around the corner, we wanted to share our delivery schedule to help you plan during this busy period.
Please allow extra time for order processing as the mill gets very busy with all the seasonal baking (we love to see what you’re baking — don’t forget to tag us on Instagram if you have something lovely to share!).
To guarantee delivery before Christmas, please place your orders by 15th December 2025. Orders placed after this date will be delivered on a best-endeavour basis. Please allow up to 5 additional working days for deliveries to the Scottish Highlands & Islands, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Wight, and Ireland.
