pricier than the big chains

Compared with the big chains this is noticeably pricier for the same kind of basket, which put me off at first. I ordered a mixed box to try and it was fine, but I'd expect the price to be lower given the delivery fee. The fee was a bit of a surprise at checkout and it took a few minutes to find the setting that waived it.

Keeps us stocked

Verdict is they're dependable for a household that gets through a lot of snacks and drinks. We've used them for years now and the order and delivery have never let us down. Sorting the regular order takes a couple of minutes.

needed something for the office

We needed a regular supply for the office kitchen after our old supplier stopped doing our area, and this has been the easiest switch. We've been ordering every fortnight for about three years now. The team always know what's coming and the drops have been reliable.

Much easier than the big shop

Compared with trekking round the big supermarket on a Saturday, this was far easier for a first order. The site made it simple to choose what I wanted and the delivery came in the window they gave me. Really happy with it so far.

quicker than the other app

Way quicker than the other app I was using, I was done in about two minutes on the bus. Checkout worked first time and I got the confirmation straight away. Delivery turned up the next afternoon as promised.

the Sunday order

I've been having the Sunday order for almost five years now, mostly the milk, bread and a couple of bits for the cupboard. The driver always leaves things in the same spot and the reminder email on Friday night has saved me more than once. Nothing has ever arrived in a bad state.

The little tubs

honestly the little portioned tubs were the best bit, didnt expect them to be so neat. Ordering was easy enough tbh, one of my items was out of stock so they swapped it for something similar. Delivery was a day late but nbd

The delivery text

The delivery text that tells you the driver is on the way is the detail I liked most, it made it easy to plan around. Ordering was simple and the items were in good shape. One thing, the driver arrived about twenty minutes after the window opened, but that's a small thing really.

better than the supermarket one

Compared it to the big supermarket delivery slot and this was quicker to sort out, just tapped through on my phone while waiting for the kettle. Order came the next morning, bit of a wait on the last item but otherwise fine. Would use again.

The veg box

The veg box was the bit I actually ordered and it was fresh and decent. Signing up was quick on my phone. Delivery came the next morning and nothing was bruised or squashed.

Worth the look

Honestly this is the one we kept coming back to after trying a few others. We compared two supermarket delivery slots and a local veg box before signing up here. The variety in the weekly selection beats the rest, and the customer team replied to a question within the hour.

Needed a weekly shop

Needed a weekly shop sorted after moving into my first flat and didn't have time to go round the shops. Signing up took about ten minutes and the first order turned up in a good time. Everything I picked was there.

we wanted something regular

We wanted a regular delivery for the weekend that didn't mean planning every shop ourselves. We'd looked at two other services and a local farm box first, and this one had the simplest sign-up and the clearest choice of what came in each week. The first delivery arrived on the day we were told.

Required for our weekly shop

We required a dependable weekly delivery as my husband no longer drives, and this has been a great help to us. The ordering was straightforward and the telephone line answered promptly when I had a question about a substitution. Deliveries have arrived courteously and on schedule.

Does what it says

Think it's fair to say they do what they say they will, which is why I stuck with it after the first order. Set up the account and placed my first basket with no real fuss. The only hitch was a delivery that came a few hours later than the window, but they told me before it happened.

the reorder button

The reorder button saved me a lot of time, which is the bit I liked most. I've been buying the same bits for a while so being able to repeat last month's basket in one tap is a good feature. One item was sold out but I got a message about it straight away.

Ordered the weekly box

I ordered the weekly box mostly to see if it was worth it for just the two of us. The price per item is a bit higher than the big shop, which I noticed when I compared. Delivery was on time and everything was in good condition, so it's fine but not cheap.

The family bundle

The family bundle is what I bought, and it's a lot of food for the money once you split it across the week. Price came out well against doing the same shop elsewhere. Delivery was on the day and nothing got damaged, so the bundle has held up well.
