the coffee is ha a delightful mellow flavour and grinding my own beans makes it so fresh
Juliet Higginson
We have been using these beans for a while, bought through a farm shop that we used to go to. When we moved to Devon we tried a range of different beans but none were as good as these. We were so pleased to be able to order these online and have them delivered to us. Makes a good expresso or flat white in our machine.

I had this coffee in a Japanese Cafe near Kew Gardens and I miss this flavour a lot! It reminds me the good time I had in Japan!!

Excellent coffee, smooth delicious flavour. Post office delivery lets the experience down as late delivering .

I have been buying these beans for well over 5 years and the consistency, quality and above all taste is second to none. Lifelong customer here!
Craig Hall
After trying at least 20 different beans, I’ve been buying gone for lunch for the 18 months (I buy 2kg every month). My only criticism is that it should have the Roast Date on the bag as we’re always told but Coffee “pros” to only buy coffee that has the roast date on!
Brian R
Still a firm favourite and will be included in every order. Might try the Espresso grind next time.
Chris James
Continue to enjoy the wonderfully mellow all day Gone To Lunch beans blend. We abandoned them for a few weeks to try other brands, but have come back home to our favourite.

Our Delivery Policy

Where do we deliver?

We would deliver to Mars if we could – to reach the whole of the universe with good coffee, but it is not that simple – so for now we deliver to:

UK: Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Forces Post Office.

Europe: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

How long will it take?

We do not work at weekends so the term working day means Monday to Friday. If you place an order on the weekend it will not be sent out until Monday.

All orders placed before 13:00hrs 'normally' go out the same day. We do not guarantee orders go out the same day as ordered.

Royal Mail - You can order up to 2kg (7 x 250g bags) using Royal Mail first or second class - orders over 2kg will be sent using Interlink Next Day

UK Mail Next Day  - using this service you can order up to 10kg (38 x 250g bags) will ensure your order gets to you the next working day once the order is despatched from the roastery.

If you use this service you maybe required to sign for the delivery unless you elect to take responsibility for loss if left in a safe place. You will receive an email update from UKMail with a one hour delivery window and using the consignment number you track your order.

How do we keep you updated as to the status of your order.

Once you have placed your order you will receive 2 status updates - they will be:
Order confirmation – this means we have received your order and the coffee is yet to be roasted.
Shipped confirmation – this means your order has left our roastery by your chosen method.

Do we meet our delivery deadlines?

We try our best to meet the delivery deadline quoted, but on the odd occasion a parcel can be delayed due to reasons that are out of our control.

Why don't we offer free postage?

Nothing is free in life. We know you all love free postage and sometimes we do offer it as part of a promotion, but it is our policy to charge for postage. We have considered offering free postage but the costs would have to be absorbed elsewhere by you the customer. We don’t hide our postage costs.

Missing, Damaged or Incorrect Orders

We try very hard to ensure you receive your order in pristine condition. If you do not receive all your products or in the unlikely event that a product arrives damaged, please contact us via the email address within the 'contact us' section of the website.

Please note: Royal Mail does not class an international shipment as lost or missing for 28 working days unfortunately we can not take any action until this time has passed.  During that time we recommend that you ask your local sorting office / post office if they've tried to deliver (even if they haven't left a card) and ask your neighbours if your order has been left with them.  You should also check that the delivery address you gave us is correct, this can be found on your shipping confirmation email.  If your delivery still hasn't arrived after 14 working days and you have performed the above steps then please email us.

Additional Information

Gone for Lunch is a twist on an old blend.

We’ve widened out the base El Salvador Finca La Arada 35% to give a little more body / richness to the blend, kept the Brazilian Brazil Fazenda Progresso at 35%, still bringing in some background nuttiness, moved the Colombia Sabanitas up by 5% to increase the bright/sharp sweetness. Nice rounded finish.
