Brilliant Service
I have just received my first order from you and felt compelled to contact you and say thank you so much for the brilliant service.

How wonderful to be transported back to my childhood by the familiar aromas of all my old favourites, especially the Grays Tea Cakes, which my Nana used to sell in her general shop so many years ago.

Also the Toffee Swirls which my other Nanny used to give to me and my sister every Saturday as a treat.

random trivia
When we launched the A Quarter Of website 5 years ago all of the sweets fitted on an Ikea wooden shelf unit. We now stock over 600 sweets and keep them in a 12,000 foot warehouse!!!
