Yorkshire Tea and Ready Brek are separate choices in Ottawa’s delivery history. Lyle’s Golden Syrup is another pantry product, with its own label and serving information.

Jacob’s Cheddars and Aunty’s Sticky Toffee Pudding offer different kinds of break. Their product listings show the pack size and the pudding’s preparation instructions before you choose.

Ottawa and Gatineau need the correct province

An Ottawa shipping address uses Ontario thresholds, while Gatineau uses Quebec’s. Enter the recipient’s actual province and postal code at checkout; the separate Gatineau delivery line on this page explains that difference.
