Thank you for taking the time to post a review. The Shortbread Selections within your order were sold at a reduced price as "Bakery Bargains" as they were nearing their Best Before date. I'm sorry you did not enjoy the Chocolate Chip Shortbread recipe.
“The tin arrived promptly and the presentation made it a lovely gift - the recipient was delighted. However, I need to flag a quality issue: the Lavender and Honey shortbread I sampled was soft. Not crumbly in the way fresh shortbread should be - soft, as though moisture had worked its way in. Stale, in other words.
For almost £30 (incl delivery), the expectation is that every biscuit in the tin is at its best. The recipient hadn't tried shortbread before, so she didn't notice - but I did, and it was a disappointing experience for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Fast dispatch, beautiful tin. The shortbread itself needs to match the price point.”
Hello
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear the shortbread fell below our usual high standards. We will be sure to check the Lavender & Honey Shortbread from this batch. As you say, we would expect our shortbread to have a crisp bite.
If you could reach out to customercare@megrivers.co.uk or click the "Help" button on our website, we'd be very happy to help.
Kind Regards, The Meg Rivers Team
