🎄✨ Festive Opening Hours Update! ✨🎄

Here’s everything you need to know about our Christmas and New Year opening hours:

📦 While we’ll keep things running as smoothly as possible, there may be some product shortages between Christmas and New Year due to reduced output from producers and limited transport for overseas produce.

⏰ Good news: our cut-off times remain the same (11:30 pm) throughout the season, and we’ll still take orders even when we’re closed for the next available delivery dates.

📅 Be sure to check our delivery schedule when placing your orders!

Wishing you all a magical festive season! 🎅✨
