Who are Pantry House?
Pantry House are an artisan fine food company you can find online and are based in Suffolk, in the UK. Pantry House sells a range of items from food cupboard items, to jams and spreads, cakes and biscuits to gluten free and vegan. The food is all specialist food items, many you won't find in your average supermarket, and that is what makes Pantry House special. The diversity and range of different food items including ethic products.
Mezette hummus
The first product I tried was the Mezette hummus. I was sent two different flavours, one with roasted red peppers and one with herbs. Both of these items do not need to be refrigerated. This hummus is in a snack pot and comes with breadsticks inside the packaging.

Flavour-wise they were good, not quite as nice as hummus you have to refrigerate though but the herb hummus was definitely my favourite. They are vegan, 100 per cent natural and preservative-free too which is great. I thought these hummus snack pots are a useful standby for an afternoon snack especially when you don't have access to a fridge.
Coolmore cake
The cakes I was sent from Pantry House were from the Coolmore range from the West Cork Bakery. The red velvet cake my son really enjoyed. It had a soft chocolate crumb and a topping similar to cream cheese icing. Chocolate shavings on the top of the cake add a little flourish.
The coffee and walnut cake was my favourite. It has a mild coffee flavour, not overpowering and small pieces of walnut dotted throughout the cake. The icing is coffee flavour too and tastes really scrumptious. We really enjoyed these cakes and I would definitely buy them again.
Mrs Darlington's jam
Mrs Darlington is a family-owned brand that has 89 jams and pickles in its collection. The extra jam is a sweet soft set jam with plenty of fruit packed into the jar. I picked the raspberry jam for delivery and they sent me one for a neighbour too for free!
The extra jam raspberry jam was perfect on toast and I think would be fabulous in cakes too. It was exceptionally fruity and sweet and tasted really homemade. They say they make their jam with love and I think it shows! A delicious jam when you want a more homemade taste than an average shop-bought jam.

Border Biscuits
Border Biscuits are another great family-owned British business, who have been trading since 1984. I've tried Border Biscuits before, some of the best hotels have these on your tea and coffee tray so I was really looking forward to tucking into these.
The sharing pack is a great size for a household and is full of very tasty treats. I must admit, by the time it took to take a photo they had been nearly polished off by Mr W, but boy are they yummy! My favourite was definitely the chocolate Viennese Whirls, but other biscuits in this pack Butterscotch Crunch, Shortbread Rings, Chocolate Oat Crumbles, Sultana Melts and Chocolatey Cookies. I will most certainly buy Border Biscuits again for a real treat with a cuppa.
Artisan Natures Kitchen
The next products we tried were the Artisan Natures Kitchen, Veggie Burger Mix and Felafel. Artisan Grains is a natural foods brand with a range of 18 healthy ingredient products, meal solutions and snacks.
The Veggie Burger Mix with a Moroccan flavour was easy to make, you just add boiling water, mix, leave for 5 minutes and shape into patties. The Moroccan burger mix was spicy but not too hot and was very tasty. Being vegan and gluten-free I was also pleased to see it had no palm oil too. We have yet to try the felafel's but I think they will be great too.
Mr Organic pasta sauce
Mr Organic is an organic food range that started with a range of tomatoes, sauces and ketchups, all produced in their own tomato factory in Pontinia, south of Rome. Now they have a wide range of organic food from pasta to pestos.
The two pasta sauces I was sent were the Mediterranean and the arrabbiata. We have only tried the arrabbiata so far but it was a good quality tomato pasta sauce with some heat from the chillis. The pasta sauce is gluten-free, reduced salt and has no added sugar. Being both vegan and vegetarian as well as organic, this pasta sauce is a great addition to your food cupboard for a quick and healthy meal.
Hullabaloos lemonade
Hullabaloos is a company that makes all-natural lemonade. This award-winning company are proud that they take their ethical responsibilities seriously and put no 'baddies' in their drinks as they say.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Hullabaloos still raspberry lemonade I was sent. It was excellent. The drink was well balanced with a little sharpness and sweetness but was not overly sweet. I would definitely buy this one again. It had a good balance of sweet and sourness and was very easy to drink.
As you can see Pantry House has a great range of specialist artisan food with a strong emphasis on organic, vegan, and gluten-free products. I especially enjoyed the Hullabaloos lemonade and the Border Biscuits. Delivery was quick and delivery is free on all shopping over £50 in value. If you are looking for a specialist food company check out Pantry House, I highly recommended it.
Let me know, what do you think of the food I reviewed? Which would you try?
