Updates

In order to keep you fully informed, below is a chronological list of updates regarding our operations and home delivery service.

Thursday 22nd April 2021: Delivery updates and in-store tastings

We have recommenced our in-store wine and spirits tastings, and will be opening a few bottles every weekend for our customers to come in and taste – on us! Additionally, to reflect the relaxation of lockdown restrictions and more customers returning to our shop in-person, we are reducing our local delivery service to just Thursdays and Fridays, between 2pm – 6pm. All orders placed via telephone, email or online will be delivered on the soonest delivery day (upon request).

Monday 8th March 2021: Shop re-opening & update of local delivery days/times

We are delighted to be able to open our shop again, while still practicing social distancing and taking all precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our shop will be open to customers wearing masks from 10am–9pm, Monday through Saturday, and from 12pm–6pm on Sundays. We are now offering our local delivery service exclusively on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. For further information on order deadlines, delivery zones, and our safety precautions, see above. We look forwards to welcoming you back into our shop!

Tuesday 5th January 2021: Operational days/hours updates

Based on recent government announcements and the increase in local cases of COVID, we have made the decision to close our physical shop for your safety and the safety of our staff, friends and family. We will however be continue to provide home delivery and ‘click and collect’ services. Our ours of operation and order deadlines have been updated.

Tuesday 11th November 2020: National Delivery & update of local delivery zones

Our initial systems for local zones were very manual. If you’ve ever worked with postcodes, you’ll realise how tricky creating local zones is! We now have local zones in place and the checkout process should be much smoother. Small adjustments have had to be made to the old manual zones. Additionally, we have been able to add a national delivery service which covers most locations in mainland UK.

Monday 30th March 2020: Online ordering

This evening we have made available a new online ordering system to help streamline our home delivery service and ensure we can get deliveries out on time. As you can imagine, taking orders over the phone or via email is a time consuming process that is further compounded by our social distancing restrictions and constant surface cleaning. We encourage you to try our new online ordering system (especially if you urgently require your delivery!).

We’ll be updating and adding more items over the coming weeks — including mixed ‘wine club’ style surprise boxes.  Meanwhile, if there’s anything you’d particularly like added do drop us an email. Also, if there’s something you’d like that is not on the list please give us a call &/or send us an email!

Delivering our little boxes of happiness makes us happy! We hope it cheers you up too during these unfortunate times.

Saturday 28th March 2020:

Please get your order in before 5pm to receive your delivery today (Saturday)! NOTE that our next delivery day will be TUESDAY. We are closing tomorrow for a much needed break. On Monday we will work on processing your orders, then we will be out delivering again Tuesday-Saturday.  

If you miss the 5pm deadline, you can still place your order via email for processing a delivery on Tuesday. Email: royston@cambridgewine.com

Wednesday 25th March 2020:

Hi Everyone!

After careful investigation, we have been advised that we can continue with our home delivery service. The Government has shut down non-essential retail shops but is encouraging delivery services to help people staying at home.

Please be assured that we will continue to follow all Government guidelines and are doing the following:

• No-contact deliveries. We will leave your items at your front door, then call you (not ring the doorbell) to let you know that your items have arrived.
• Regular surface sanitising.
• Regular hand-washing and clinical gloves are worn when picking orders and making deliveries.
• Maximum of 2 people working together, practicing social distancing.

This is a hard time for everyone, and we hope that we can provide a service that can bring a little comfort and help to limit supermarket trips.

We have been in touch with our local MP to make him aware of our activities and will continue to offer this service for as long as we feel it is safe and conforms to Government guidelines.

Please note that our telephone line may not always be manned. Please send us an email, including a contact telephone number, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please use the attached menu as a guide to what is available but note that some products may be out of stock and alternatives offered. Just as we do in-store, we are still very happy to make recommendations!
