My family has been shopping at Ackroyd's for as long as I can remember. I'm in Texas now and my order of scones, meat and pork pies arrived in perfect condition and the taste is exactly as I remember.
I ordered this for Christmas but couldn’t wait! Perfection! Although I miss going to the old shop and the hustle for the Holudays!
Absolutely very happy with the meat pies and so glad you have filled them up! The bangers are my favorite and the Stovies I make turned out awesome! Wish you were closer!!
The Scottish meat pies were delicious. They arrived in an impressive ice- packed box. After warming them up we enjoyed them so much
I knew I was going to love these. However, they went way above and beyond what I was anticipating. They were lighter and more richly, yet delicately, flavored. I'm completely blown away by these delectable treats. It's a very good thing I live across the state from you, because these could be dangerously addictive.
These are absolutely delicious, and they are bigger than they seem in the photo. We had it plain, and we had it with homemade gravy. Both ways are good. Not too salty either, which is a bonus if you're watching your salt intake.
When i lived n NJ, I always got my pies at Stewarts. This is the first time I purchased from Ackroyds and they were delicious. I will be ordering from them again.
Thanks for the kind words regarding the Empire Biscuits! We can explain our prices. Shipping perishable food properly is a difficult thing. We have to make sure everything arrives in great shape. Our cost to ship to you was around $40, so on a $135 order, the cost of shipping accounts for around 30% (not even considering the cost of food, labor, utilities, and everything else businesses have to contend with).
We have to offer 'free' shipping because most people expect it nowadays. Shipping is a double edged sword because if we charged shipping - we would get complaints. Offering free shipping forces us to build some of that cost into the items and then the items are 'so expensive.' It's a truly stressful endeavor trying to walk that line.
As a diabetic, I have to be careful with baked good, and America's concept of scones is a particular problem. In U.K. they are usually not caked in sugar like they are in the US. I am happy to find a bakery that can make a proper scone which doesn't rot your teeth - but still tastes just the right amount of sweet!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Chocolate Chip scones. We are so glad to hear that you found them to be luscious and not overly sweet. We understand the struggle of finding baked goods that are suitable for those with dietary restrictions, and we are happy to provide a product that meets your needs. Thank you for choosing our bakery and we hope to continue serving you in the future.
When you think of Haggis, you might think it's not good. Not with Ackroyd's Bakery. I bought this for my husband, and he loved it. I was able to get a taste before he finished it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed our traditional Scottish Haggis. We take great pride in creating high-quality, delicious products, and we are glad to know that it met your expectations. Thank you for choosing Ackroyd's Bakery. We appreciate your support!
