Class availability & scheduling
Starting January 2024, we'll try to run one group class per calendar month.
One week before the start of a month, we'll coordinate a date and time in that month that works best for everyone who has purchased a group class. This system gives everyone flexibility; if your plans change then you can simply do the workshop later.
We expect that the class will run on one of: Tuesday eve, Wednesday eve, Thursday eve, Sunday morning, or Sunday afternoon. The exact date and time will be decided by everyone who wants to do the workshop.
Terms & conditions
- Purchases of workshops are treated like a voucher; they are redeemable for a booking on any specific class up to one year from purchase.
- One week before the 1st of each calendar month, we will be in contact with anyone who has an unredeemed workshop purchase, in order to coordinate a date and time for that month's class. Once the date of a class is fixed, it will not be moved unless there are exceptional circumstances or there is agreement from everyone booked in for that date.
- One purchase entitles one device to join the video call. You can have a couple of people with you doing the class on the same device. If you want to have more than that we would ask you to purchase another ticket and use multiple devices.
Cancellation & refund policy
- You may request a 100% refund on your workshop purchase up to 48hrs following your purchase, in case you change your mind. After that time has passed, we do not offer refunds - but you are able to join a class up to one year from purchase date, or transfer your booking to someone else.
- If you have agreed to a specific class date, and your plans change, please give us as much notice as possible if you want to reschedule and we will try to work with you.
- If you are booked in for a specific class and you don't show up, we will typically not offer rescheduling in this case unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Frequently asked
How spicy are your products?
Tolerance to chilli heat is very individual! Easton Chilli products are rated out of 5 on heat, trying to make a scale that works for regular people (i.e. people who don't have hot sauce on everything! :) )
- 0/5 - No heat here. Possibly suitable for your newborn baby.
- 1/5 - Just a hint. If you like your spice, you probably think this is nothing.
- 2/5 - A bit of zing. Everyone should be able to enjoy this level of heat, whether you're a regular folk or a chilli fiend. Most of our products are aimed at this level.
- 3/5 - It's heating up. Probably getting a little spicy for the regular folk now, definitely too spicy for a newborn baby.
- 4/5 - Now we're talking! You might talk your pal into trying this once, but they might need a glass of milk, and they might not speak to you for a while.
- 5/5 - Everything that's way too spicy for a regular person.
Here are some rough equivalences in heat.
- Heinz Tomato Ketchup = Easton Chilli 0/5
- Nando's Medium Peri Peri = Easton Chilli 2/5
- That chilli sauce at your local kebab shop = probably Easton Chilli 3/5
- Chilli Daddy's 4 = Easton Chilli 5/5

Where are your products made?
All the jam I make myself, in my home kitchen in Easton!
My t-shirts are printed by the lovely Live Ink Co, based in Old Market in Bristol.
Sustainability etc?
Of course. Sustainability is important to Easton Chilli and it's considered in all parts of the business.
Packaging
We try to reuse waste materials in our packaging, so if someone has delivered bubble wrap to us, or we have a perfectly sized Amazon box lying around, we might use them for your order. Better to reuse it than throw it away to landfill!
All new packaging that we source is plastic-free and recyclable, and we prefer to buy cardboard or recycled materials where possible. Sometimes we use corn-starch mailer bags.
Any waste cardboard that we can't use gets shredded and put into our compost heap, along with our waste vegetable scraps from jam cooking. The worms love this arrangement.
Product
We try to source all our ingredients "loose" and prefer local and low-plastic companies.
We use preserving techniques like lacto-fermentation to extend the shelf life of some of our ingredients, for example we can buy in a few kg of bird's eye chillies and keep using them for months under the right conditions.
The packaging of our jars is designed to be removed - it's just a bit of string and card. The idea is that you're more likely to reuse a jar if you don't have to spend ages washing off the sticker that's on it.
Unfortunately due to UK Food Safety regulations, we are not allowed to re-use any glass jars that are destined for jam making. We have to use new jars and lids for each product. If this weren't the case we'd love to have a closed-loop return and reuse system in place.
Delivery
We've partnered with Zedify to deliver our packages in Bristol. Their fleet of electric cargo bikes means deliveries within BS1-16 are low-carbon-emitting.
Delivery to the rest of the UK is done using Royal Mail and other couriers like DPD, many of which are working to reduce their carbon emissions.
