First box was really good
Ordered my first box and it arrived quicker than I thought. Everything was fresh and the herbs were still perky. Easy to set up and the app made changing the week simple.

Read moreHonestly not impressed with this one. My box was due Tuesday and it turned up Friday with half the leaves gone limp. I emailed to ask what was going on and didn't hear back until the next week. Price is fair but I won't be ordering again.

The box is a fair size and the produce keeps well. The one thing I'd flag is the delivery window is quite broad, so you need to be in. Otherwise sound.

Brilliant, no notes. Box came on time, veg was in good nick, and sorting the next delivery took about a minute on my phone. Exactly what I wanted from it.
I've had the veg box every other week for about three years now. This time the potatoes came a bit muddy and one of the carrots was split, but I just rinsed them and carried on. Still good value for what you get and the swaps are easy to make online. Happy enough.
The box is great value once you divide it out by weight. Carrots, onions, potatoes and a few seasonal extras, and nothing went to waste. It turns up on the day they say and the price stayed the same since I joined. Good stuff.
The veg were actually fresh, which is more than I can say for the last place I tried. Got a bag of salad leaves and some tomatoes and they lasted the whole week in the fridge. Driver was lovely too, left them at the door like I asked. Will order again.
Needed a way to stop buying wilted salad every week, so gave this a go. First box came in good condition and the variety was better than I expected for the price. Setup was simple and I could pick my delivery day, which was a big plus.
The cabbage and carrots came crisp and fresh, way better than I get from the usual supermarket bags. Box arrived on the day they said and the leaves were still firm. Only thing is the swede was a bit small this time but the rest made up for it.
Needed a quick weekly shop sorted as I'm sharing with two others and nobody wants to queue. Found the site through a mate. Bit fiddly picking the slots but the food turned up on time and looked fine. Would use again.
Compared to the supermarket delivery I used before, this is much better for the veg. The potatoes keep for weeks and the seasonal bits are a nice surprise. I've been a customer for years and it's never let me down, the people on the phone are always helpful when I've had a question about a swap.
I needed an easy way to get veg in without planning every meal around it. Tried a couple of other boxes first but they were pricier or didn't let me skip weeks. This one lets me pause easily and the mix is decent. Only niggle is the packaging is a bit more plastic than I'd like.
Still a good box after all these years. The seasonal stuff is what I look forward to most. The recipe cards are a bit wordy but the veg is always decent quality. Sometimes the timings slip by a day.
Got a veg box after comparing a few options. The box itself was fine and the veg was mostly good. Ordering was a bit clunky though, took me three goes to get my postcode accepted and the sign up page kept logging me out.
I always go for the seasonal box now. Got the autumn one with squash and sprouts and it was spot on, the sprouts were small and sweet. I've been ordering for ages and it's been reliable.
Compared it with ordering the same veg from the big supermarket and this worked out a few quid cheaper per box once you count the stuff I'd otherwise have binned. The box is a fair size and the produce keeps well. The one thing I'd flag is the delivery window is quite broad, so you need to be in. Otherwise sound.
Compared it with my local farm shop and the produce here is about as good, probably a touch cheaper for the same sort of stuff. I like being able to swap items I don't fancy. Delivery came in a cool bag which kept everything cold. Packing could be a bit tidier with the extra bits of plastic.
Compared it to the supermarket delivery I used before and this is much better for the veg, the stuff lasts well in the fridge. Good portions for the money, and the box turned up before the slot they gave me. Happy to stick with it.
Honestly not impressed with this one. My box was due Tuesday and it turned up Friday with half the leaves gone limp. I emailed to ask what was going on and didn't hear back until the next week. Price is fair but I won't be ordering again.
I wanted to eat better without spending loads on the big shop. Signed up for the smallest box to see. The veg was lovely and fresh and I actually used all of it. Really easy to pause when I went away.
Compared it with two other veg box companies first and this one came out cheapest once I'd worked out price per kilo. The site was easy to use and I liked being able to skip weeks. Delivery came in a cool bag and everything was in good nick, although one courgette was a bit bruised. Would order again.
