Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most before an enquiry. If yours isn't here, just ask. We're always happy to talk it through.
What is a Blissful Bites flapjack?
Blissful Bites makes handcrafted oaty flapjacks, baked to order in small batches: buttery oats, finished with golden syrup. Every one starts from that same recipe, then takes on a flavour of its own, such as raspberry. They're made to a brief: your colours, your quantity, your date.
Are Blissful Bites flapjacks egg-free?
Yes. Every Blissful Bites flapjack is made without eggs and without preservatives. Full ingredients and allergen information for each flavour are printed on the product label and available on request, so do tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements when you enquire.
How do I order from Blissful Bites?
Send an enquiry through the website with the flavours you like, the occasion, and roughly how many you need. It isn't a checkout, and no payment is taken online. We'll be in touch to agree quantities, pricing and timing, and nothing is confirmed until you're happy with it.
How is pricing worked out?
There's no fixed price list. What you pay depends on the flavours, how many you need and how you'd like them boxed. Send an enquiry with a rough number and we'll confirm the price before anything is agreed. No payment is ever taken through the website.
Do you deliver, or is it collection only?
You can collect from Kettering, or we'll deliver locally. We don't post flapjacks nationwide. Pick collection or delivery on the enquiry form, and if you'd like it delivered, add your address and we'll confirm whether it's within reach when we get back to you.
Which areas do you deliver to around Kettering?
We deliver across Kettering and the surrounding Northamptonshire towns, including Corby, Wellingborough, Desborough, Burton Latimer and Rothwell, plus Market Harborough just over the Leicestershire border. If you're further out, ask anyway. It usually comes down to the size of the order and the date.
Can I order flapjacks for a birthday, wedding or celebration?
Yes, and it's a large part of what Blissful Bites does. The enquiry form asks for the occasion and any colour theme. Flapjacks can be wrapped individually, boxed in window gift boxes, or left whole on a wrapped tray, all finished with ribbon in a colour of your choosing.
Is there a minimum order or a lead time?
Both apply, and both vary with the size of the order and the time of year. Ask when you send your enquiry and we'll tell you what's possible for your date before anything is confirmed.
Can I have flapjacks made as a gift?
Yes. Blissful Bites flapjacks are made for gifting. Choose individually wrapped bars for favours and party bags, a window gift box for a single present, or a whole wrapped tray for sharing. Tell us what you're marking on the enquiry form and we'll suggest what suits.
Can you match our colour scheme?
Yes. Colour is the main thing set at enquiry, and every format is finished with ribbon: individually wrapped bars are tied with it, gift boxes are banded with it, and a whole tray is finished with a bow. Colours include ivory, blush pink, gold, red, brown, forest green, royal blue, navy, black, and we accommodate all colour themes, so if yours is not listed, please enquire. Send us the shades you are working to, whether that is a table scheme, a bridesmaid dress or a brand palette.
Do you deliver to venues?
Yes. Delivery to a venue works the same way as any other local delivery: give us the venue name and address on the enquiry form and we will confirm whether it is within reach. We cover Kettering and the surrounding Northamptonshire towns for collection and local delivery. If the venue sits outside that, tell us anyway — it usually comes down to the size of the order and the date.
How are the flapjacks packaged?
Three ways. Bars can be wrapped individually in a sealed bag with a ribbon tie, boxed in a white window gift box closed with a branded seal, or left whole on a tray, wrapped and finished with a ribbon bow. Every format comes with a choice of ribbon colours.
Where is Blissful Bites based?
Blissful Bites is based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, where every flapjack is handcrafted in small batches. There's no shop to visit: everything is baked to order for collection or local delivery. Send an enquiry with your address and we'll confirm whether delivery reaches you.
What food hygiene rating does Blissful Bites have?
Blissful Bites holds a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 out of 5, the Food Standards Agency's top rating, described as Very Good. You'll see the badge on the website wherever you can send an enquiry.
