1) The offer
- When you purchase Trencherman’s Guide from our online store, Salt Media will send a unique one-time code by email.
- Redeem the code at checkout to start a Food Lifestyle subscription and receive the first issue free (payment details required for future renewals).
- After your free issue is dispatched, the subscription continues automatically at £7 every 3 months until you cancel or pause.
2) Eligibility & limits
- Offer valid on qualifying purchases made on this website only.
- One free-trial code per customer/household.
- Codes are non-transferable, not for resale, and no cash value.
- Not valid for customers with an active Food Lifestyle subscription at the time of redemption (former subscribers who are not currently active may be eligible).
- We may refuse, suspend or cancel a trial where we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse or ineligibility.
3) Code delivery & expiry
- Your code is emailed to the address used at checkout for Trencherman’s Guide.
- If you do not receive it within a reasonable timeframe, check spam/junk and then contact support.
- Unless otherwise stated in the email, codes expire 6 months after issue and have no value if unredeemed.
4) Subscription & billing
- By redeeming the code and starting the subscription, you authorise us and our payment processor to charge £7 every 3 months to your saved payment method until you cancel or pause.
- Taxes and shipping (if applicable) are calculated at checkout for each issue.
- We may change the renewal price or billing cycle for future periods; where required by law, we’ll notify you in advance and changes will apply to subsequent renewals.
5) Managing your plan (cancel, pause, skip)
- You can cancel anytime before the next renewal date to avoid further charges.
- You can pause/suspend or skip a delivery from the subscription portal (subject to cut-off dates displayed there).
- Cancelling or pausing does not refund any charge already processed; it stops future renewals.
Access: use the “Manage Subscription” link in your order/renewal emails or log into My Account with the same email used at checkout.
6) Delivery schedule
- Food Lifestyle is a quarterly print magazine (approximately every 3 months).
- Dispatch dates may vary due to production or carrier delays. We’ll keep you updated where possible.

- Changes after the cut-off may take effect from the next issue.
