Chefs for Foodies: chef-tested artisan food, pizza kits and kitchen kit for home cooks
Chefs for Foodies is a curated online marketplace for artisan food and kitchenware, run by Team Worth Ltd in Kent. Every product is tasted and tested by its team and collaborating chefs before it goes on sale, and the shop puts small and independent British producers next to known names such as illy and KitchenAid. It suits passionate home cooks, adventurous foodies and anyone looking for a gift for someone who loves to cook.
The range covers pizza kits, pantry staples, sauces, chocolate, coffee, drinks and appliances, plus recipes from chefs. A voucher code from save-up.co.uk takes money off your order at checkout, so it pays to look at the list above before you buy.
A range that runs from pantry jars to coffee machines
The menu of Chefs for Foodies is split into food, drink and kitchen departments, and the homepage shows how varied the producers are: hot sauces from Ro’s Kitchn and Mama’s Fire, Thai condiments from Wild Rice London, chilli oils from Hillfarm Oils, chocolate boxes from Giuliana Pimenta, cookies from Mamma G Cookies and cocktail gift sets from Edmunds Cocktails. For coffee, illy pods, capsules and machines sit next to speciality coffee bags and a CRWST blend.
- Pantry: condiments and sauces, seasoning and spices, jams, spreads and honey, pasta and pasta sauce
- Treats: chocolates, cookies and cakes, nuts and snacks
- Drinks: beer and cider, wines, spirits and cocktails, coffee, hot chocolate, chai and matcha, non-alcoholic drinks
- In the kitchen: pizza ovens and BBQs, mixers and blenders, coffee machines, kitchenware and cookbooks
- Gifting: Christmas gifting, corporate gifting and a gift card from £10 to £200
Pizza night is the heart of the shop
No department gets as much space as pizza. Chefs for Foodies sells pizza kits with a choice of three doughs, a starter kit with 12 dough balls, tomato and mozzarella, toppings and pizza ovens, including a DeliVita Diavolo oven bundle that comes with 12 dough balls. There is also a Pizza Club Membership listed at £10.00 and a section for pizza classes. The terms of service add live and video cooking classes run by chefs; if you book one, note that cancelling 7 days or less before the event costs 30% of the price.
Delivery, packaging and returns
Standard delivery to UK Mainland runs Tuesday to Friday and is free over £60, otherwise £5.49; extended areas such as the Isle of Man or the Scottish Islands cost £22.50 for two-day delivery. Chilled food travels next day with DPD in boxes built to stay cold for up to 48 hours, and the shop uses DPD’s Clean, Green service with fully recyclable and reusable packaging. Unused appliances can go back within 14 days, while perishable food, personalised items and gift cards are not returnable. Missing or damaged items must be reported within 48 hours.
How to save at Chefs for Foodies
A voucher code works best when your basket is already close to the £60 free delivery threshold, because then you save on the products and the shipping at the same time. Check the code’s conditions before you pay: a minimum spend or excluded products are the usual reasons a code is refused, and some products are excluded from free delivery too. Gift cards are a simple present, but they cannot be returned, so pick the value with care.
If you shop more widely in food and drink, save-up.co.uk also lists Tannico Voucher Codes, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Discount Codes, Chef Akila’s Gourmet Ready Meals Promo Code and the tastecard Voucher Code among its further Food & Drink shops.
