Artisan food gifts

The best food gifts come from people who make one thing extremely well. Pump Street Chocolate, a family-run bakery and chocolate maker in Orford, Suffolk, makes bean-to-bar chocolate by hand. Halen Môn hand-harvests sea salt from the waters around Anglesey.

Neal's Yard Dairy chooses British and Irish farmhouse cheese, Cobble Lane Cured cures and smokes British meat at its butchery in Islington, and Spice Kitchen, a mother-and-son business in Liverpool, wraps its Indian spice tins in upcycled sari fabric. Add truffle oils and honey from Truffle Guys, cheese from Paxton & Whitfield, and rare teas from Rare Tea Company.

Fresh food has its own delivery rules: some shops can't deliver to every postcode, and Christmas slots fill up early, so check each shop's delivery page before ordering.

Every piece is in stock at the time of loading and links straight to the shop. If you buy, the shop may pay us a small commission, at no cost to you. How we work
