Terms of Service
Prices and VAT
Most food products are usually VAT free, all our prices are quoted without any VAT added (shown as No VAT). There are however some ingredients which do attract VAT at the prevailing standard rate along with packaging, moulds and machinery (shown as Excl. VAT).
We take care to publish accurate pricing but occasionally mistakes may happen. If we publish a price higher than we meant to, then we’ll automatically refund you the difference. Likewise, if we publish a price lower than it ought to be, we reserve the right not to fulfil orders at that price and give you the option to pay the correct price of have a full refund for that item.
Payments
You can pay in three ways:
If you’d like to pay by card you can do so online via our website or over the phone by calling our sales team on 01273 777002

Please note that all goods will remain the property of Vantage House UK Ltd until paid for in full.
Stock availability
We have a large amount of stock held in our fulfilment warehouse, but sometimes products are in high demand, or the manufacturer may have production issues. This means that occasionally we may not have some of the products you order in stock.
If that happens, we will let you know as soon as we can by telephone or email when it will become available, and we can deliver it as soon as it comes back in stock (or if you prefer we can arrange a refund). In the meantime, we will fulfil any other items on your order as usual or if you prefer, we can hold onto them and send one delivery when all items are in stock.
Cancelling orders
If you’ve ordered something by mistake or just had a change of heart, then let us know. If the goods haven’t been dispatched, we’ll cancel the order and arrange a full refund. If the goods have been dispatched then you can return them and we will refund you minus a restocking charge. We can’t refund any ingredients items that have been opened or goods that no longer suitable for sale.
Please note that undamaged goods cannot be returned if they’ve been in your possession for more than 72 hours or if we’ve ordered the goods from a supplier especially for you.
Damages
