Frequently Asked Questions

How can we help?


Shopping with us

Tell me more about your Best Before dates

Where appropriate, we clearly display the Best Before date of the product you are looking at.

It’s important to remember that Best Before dates are different to expiry dates.

For a full explanation, we recommend you visit the Food Standards Agency website by clicking here

Do you have a minimum order value?

Yes, we have a minimum order value of £0 that applies to all orders.

Sometimes you will find promotions on certain products which do not require you to spend £0.

All orders include FREE standard delivery.

Do products have a minimum and maximum purchase limits?

Some products do have minimum and maximum purchase limits and such information is always displayed on the product page.

We have been asked why we do this. We set limits for one of two reasons:

  1. To give everybody a chance to snap up our special offers
  2. To maintain the safety of our staff and couriers by not exceeding weight limits

How do I add products to my basket?

Select the yellow ‘Add’ button underneath your chosen item. You can also use the plus or minus buttons to increase or decrease the quantity of that specific product.

You can view the contents of your basket at any time by clicking on the shopping basket icon (top right).

How do I navigate the website and find categories?

We try to make our website as user friendly as possible. Everything is arranged by category, For example, all food cupboard products are listed together, and all drinks products are listed together etc.

By selecting ‘Browse Categories’ on desktop or the ‘Menu’ on mobile, you will be provided with a dropdown of key categories for you to browse.

Alternatively, you can enter the name of the product you are looking for in the search bar at the top of the page. On mobile, you can find the search bar by clicking on the magnifying glass icon (top right).
