What’s a Ringtons Round?
It's a doorstep delivery service that's been running since 1907. Here's how it works:
A friendly face, on a day you can count on. Your local Ringtons salesperson visits your door every fortnight or month - same day, same person - bringing tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolates, seasonal treats and gifts straight from our basket.
You choose what you want, when you want it. Browse the basket at the door, pick what takes your fancy, or just stock up on the essentials. No app, no online order needed - though you can shop online too if you prefer.
No fees, no fuss. No delivery charges, no minimum spend, no obligation to buy at every visit. Pay by cash or card. Cancel or pause whenever.
The best part of your fortnight, delivered.
We have an ethos: if it's not worth drinking, dunking or devouring, it's not in our baskets.
So we fill them with the freshest-tasting tea, deliciously buttery biscuits, melt-in-the-mouth chocolates, rich fruit cake, and gifts worth giving, with new seasonal arrivals every fortnight.
Everything thoughtfully chosen. Everything delivered by someone who knows your name.

A family tradition
Our great-grandfather started it all back in 1907 with a horse, a cart, and a brilliant idea, and today we’re proud to be a 5th-generation British family business. Some things are too good to change.
We’re still just as passionate about providing a service built on familiarity, not fuss, delivering the very best everyday comforts, whatever the weather.
The Ringtons Way
We source our tea from the finest gardens, carefully selecting the most succulent leaves and buds and sealing in their qualities at source before blending and packing here in the UK. All to deliver the freshest, most flavoursome tea you won’t find anywhere else.
Look out for our unique Ringtons Way stamp, and our knowledgeable team will match you to a blend that suits your taste.
Take a Teabreak
Every other week, there’s something new for you to discover, such as limited-edition sweets, cakes and gifts.
Enjoy the latest edition of our Teabreak magazine to find out what’s available this season.
We can’t always carry everything on our vans due to limited space, so if there’s anything you know you'd really like and to avoid any disappointment, you can call us or drop us an email to pre-order, and we’ll ensure you get everything you need.
