Cornish Cream Tea Hamper | Simply Cornish Hampers Review

Today I have a review of a Afternoon Tea Hamper from Simply Cornish Hampers. For a while I have wanted to try out an afternoon tea hamper, as I really liked the concept of a fresh Afternoon Tea delivered straight to your door. I was just awaiting a suitable occasion for an excuse!  

...and what a better excuse than mothers day! 

I originally had my eye on the Delimann hampers, but unfortunately they don't deliver on a weekend. I will have to try that another time :) So, after doing a quick google search I discovered Simply Cornish Hampers 

Simply Cornish Hampers have been open since 2005, they sell hampers as gifts for a special occasion or a special someone. All their ingredients are sourced locally in Cornwall from a range of food and wine suppliers. Their range includes gluten free hampers, alcohol hampers, cream tea hampers and chocolate hampers. I'm sure most people will be able to find something that takes their fancy! I chose the  'Family Cornish Cream Tea Hamper' option, 

Delivery costs a whooping  £7.55 for weekdays or £8.65 for weekend delivery. 

The hamper was priced at £35.95 and was delivered in a cardboard box. You can upgrade to a black gift box for £47.45 or if you pay £58.90 they will send it in wicker basket! However, the cardboard packaging alone was fine, I loved how everything was laid out and they all fit snugly in the box!

The hamper included 8 Butter Scones, a bottle of Healey's Pressed Apple Juice, Clotted Cream, Shortbread, Sisley's Strawberry Jam, Clotted Cream Fudge, Spiced Crunch Original Fairings, 4 Rodda's Clotted Cream and Furniss Gingerbread. Its a shame that the hamper doesn't include any tea!

Since we were having a bit off a mothers day family gathering we decided to set it up as a tea party...

For my mum instead of putting out a tea cup we decided to place the Grandma mug that my niece got her. 

The food was all really yummy and had a lovely home made feel to it. The scones tasted very fresh and I especially loved the addition of the fudge  and apple juice. 

I can't recommend this hamper enough, it's a great alternative to a hotel afternoon tea. With every order you get a free personlised gift card to send to your loved ones, yet our hamper included the wrong card. It said 'Happy Birthday' instead of the 'Happy Mothers Day' message which left my mum a bit perplexed to begin with! But since the food was soo lovely I'll have to let them off for the mistake!

Have you tried an afternoon tea hamper? Any recommendations for next time?

See you next time for more of my ramblings!
