COURIER
Because of the freshness and delicate nature of some of our products, they need to be hand delivered. We’re based in Hackney and deliver around london via courier. Please see our courier map for prices.
If you want to order, but are not based within the courier postcodes, please email us and we can see what we can do. If you need long-distance meringue kisses you can always collect from us a few days in advance as the shelf life is 10 days.
All deliveries are undertaken by an external courier company. Please ensure someone is available at the delivery address on the day of your order; if there is no-one on hand to receive the goods, the courier will try to leave them in a safe place (with a neighbour, receptionist, caretaker etc.) but we cannot keep hold of the goods for re-delivery and they will be left at the address you have given us. If you would like us to deliver to your place of work or somewhere with a mailroom/courier point we are happy to do so but please note that Meringue Girls cannot accept any liability for the treatment of your order or mishandling once a delivery has been made.
All our drivers are instructed in the correct handling of the goods and will always pass this information onto any post-room workers but once the goods are signed for we cannot accept liability for the subsequent handling of your goods.
ALLERGENS
Our meringues contain free-range pasteurised egg whites, caster sugar and natural colourings. We use natural flavourings wherever we can. Our meringues are suitable for vegetarians. The eggs are pasteurised and so suitable for children and pregnant women.
Some of our meringues are nut flavoured, for example, pistachio, peanut and hazelnut. The meringues are in close proximity to each other, so we do not suggest eating any if you are allergic to nuts. We use black sesame seeds on our watermelon meringues, so we do not recommend any meringues if you are allergic to sesame.
All our products are handmade in a kitchen that handles peanuts, nuts, soya, gluten, dairy, and eggs. We strive to avoid any cross-contamination but cannot guarantee the absence of trace amounts of these allergens in our products.

Can I sit and watch while a friend does a masterclass?
