Quick delivery. Tasty and intersting range of cheese with lovely wine too packaged carefully. Made a beautiful gift

Lovely cheese and wine hamper for my son in law. I made a mistake with the address, but a quick phone call and it was rectified. Very prompt delivery. I will definitely use Imp and Maker again.

Sarah and her team deliver an amazing gift experience with amazing products second to none, we have used her service many times, always far exceeded our expectations for our friend's and family.

Thank you so much Simon xx (Carlton cleaning)

Recipient delighted with the gift

I bought this for my husbands birthday as he loves breakfast food and it didn’t disappoint. Soft bread which didn’t go hard in the toaster like we’ve known sour dough to do before, delicious golden yolk eggs and the sausages were incredible, if a little grisly in places, which was our only negative. Would definitely buy again.

I ordered the ploughman's lunch hamper for my brothers birthday he was over the moon with it was fresh and delivered at due date and time.

The recipient was very pleased with this gift, which was delivered on the agreed date (his birthday)

A present for my 103 year old mother in law. Delivered on time and she loves it.

Great choice of hamper items and well packaged and delivered.

I am so impressed with this company I would give it 10 stars if I could!! I placed an order for a 'thank you gift' and the recipient was absolutely delighted. If a company deserves this excellent review then this is it.

Informative, personable, very good variety products

sent has a gift to dear friends who loved it

This was a 50th birthday present for my son,he said the produce was good quality but when he sent a pic I thought the mushrooms were not so good and only two medium ones, otherwise happy

Love love love the choice of hampers. There’s something to suit everyone’s taste and budgets. Website is easy to navigate. Purchases easy to complete. You can pick a convenient day to suit you for delivery. Everything is packaged and repackaged so arrives in excellent condition.

Clear and accurate information about delivery. Beautiful packaging which was important as it was a present

Saw the owner on Dragons Den who didn’t get an investment.
Decided to support a local business.
Ordered a hamper on October 19th 2025 for delivery on 22nd December 2025 for my friends 60th Birthday on 23rd December 2025.
2 Months lead time.
No communication after the initial order.
Order didn’t arrive on the 22nd or 23rd December.
Sent an email on 23rd which I got an automatic reply from on 24th blaming DPD & the Christmas rush which in my case not relevant as the order was placed in October.
Still no formal reply on December 24th from the email.
Tried the telephone all morning on 24th which was engaged.
After 3 hours I got through to the answer machine which advised me from the message to try an email or use the chat function on their Web Site.
Still no reply from the telephone message I left after 2 hours.
Now tried the Chat Function as advised so I typed a comprehensive chat on the 24th.
1 hour later no reply from that either.
The whole process is a disaster from the order not arriving for this 60th Birthday which will never happen again.
3 forms of Media used to contact them to try and get it resolved.
Media used Telephone, EMail & Chat,
Perhaps the Dragons were correct and it’s not a feasible workable business.
My advise is to use another company for this type of gifting.
All the Time the clock is clicking down to there closing for the day @ 14:00hrs because it’s Christmas Eve.
It’s now 13:30 so presume it’s no going to resolved maybe in the New Year

However on the 29th December the owner of Imp & Maker Sarah Louise Fairburn replied to my email who was horrified with the situation.

She explain that the new ordering system hand failed in the case of my order & a staff member who was manning the office on Christmas Eve had to go home because of a relative who had died in horrendous circumstances in a road accident at a very young age.

I was offered a full refund and another hamper was to be sent out on that day free of charge.

This all happened and on 30th December my friend had received his hamper which was of an old incredibly good standard of contents & presentation.

Sarah Louise Fairburn the owner has called me this afternoon 2/1/26 with her personal apology and offered me a hamper to which I declined as I thought I had been fully compensated already.

We were invited to visit the premises at anytime.

The visit to her distribution centre & factory on 5th Jan 2026 has been arranged.

I don’t think in my 70 plus years of shopping that Ihave ever felt that any feedback I have provided has been dealt with so professionally.

Unfortunately, the tomahawk hamper I ordered for my fiancé as a Christmas gift was not dispatched in time, despite booking a delivery date in advance for a carefully planned surprise. It means I have no present to give and left me having to make last-minute alternative arrangements for Christmas dinner. While the staff were pleasant when I called, no compensation or acceptable solution was offered for what was a very disappointing situation, leaving me with no choice but to cancel the order. I understand that issues can arise, but given the timing at Christmas, this was especially upsetting, and the lack of any corrective effort has made me unlikely to use this company again.

We have found that ordering a hamper for our son and his wife in England from New Zealand to be extremely easy.

Per my previous experience the recipient loved their Luxury afternoon tea and fizz hamper... I love the fabulously curated and quality contents of the hampers that I can choose from for friends and family ... and the customer service responsiveness is second to none.
Keep up the great work, team !

Such wonderful hampers and great service too. This is the selection of hampers I’ve been searching for. So pleased to have found Imp and Maker. Great company.
