Company details
Written by the company
At Abel & Cole, we’ve trailblazed sustainable shopping since 1988 – doing food right from day one. What started with selling organic potatoes door to door has grown into a network of trailblazing farmers, sustainability experts and dedicated shoppers who all share the same passion for the planet. For over 35 years, we’ve delivered delicious, planet-friendly food, drink and more to homes across the UK. When our shoppers unbox their delivery, they can trust that it’s filled with top-quality groceries. Like high-welfare meat from award-winning farms. Responsibly caught, MCS-rated fish. Artisanal bread from family-run bakeries. And farm-fresh fruit & veg grown as nature intended. All ethically sourced from growers and makers who put the planet first and sustainably delivered in our returnable, reusable boxes. We’re proud to have built long-standing relationships with our farmers. We commit to paying our growers fairly, never squeezing them for profit and planning our boxes around their seasonal harvests. That means our iconic Fruit & Veg Boxes are always filled with the freshest, organic crops – grown sustainably with zero artificial pesticides. And for every Fruit & Veg Box we deliver, we donate fresh fruit & veg to fight food poverty through our One Box: One Portion charity initiative. We go the extra mile to make every shop sustainable for our customers. We say no to pointless plastic – that’s why there’s 77% less plastic in our Fruit & Veg Boxes than the same items from some of the biggest supermarkets. Our growing Club Zero collection gives shoppers over 100 zero-waste refills to choose from, slimming their bins even more. And as part of our Packaging Promise, we’ll always take back anything that can’t be recycled at home. Even collecting our customers’ flexi-plastics from any shop through our Plastic Pick-Up Service.

- Zero pointless plastic
- Our Packaging Promise is to help you slim your bin. That means we only use packaging if it genuinely serves a purpose, like preventing food waste. We also make sure you can reuse, recycle, or return it to us for a sustainable end of life – so you don’t have to send anything from our deliveries to landfill.
- Zero air miles
- We source as much as possible from the UK to help keep food miles and carbon emissions as low as possible. For anything that can’t be sourced or grown in the UK, we have a zero airfreight policy in place.
- Farmers paid fairly
- Being fair on price means that we can help offer our farmers security – it’s important that they can make a profit, so they can reinvest it and continue to farm. As a proud Real Living Wage employer, we’re also committed to paying a fair price to our farmers to allow them to then pay a fair wage to their teams.

Good culture.
The company is my go to for organic goods that are difficult to find elsewhere, but it can also be competitively priced when it comes to artisan products.
They have frequent discount and voucher cycles through out the year, showing value to existing customers.
Deliveries have also improved from a couple of years ago.

Reply from Abel & Cole
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback and for your interest in our service. I’m really sorry for any confusion; there are still some areas we don’t cover yet. The best way to check if we deliver to your address is by using the Postcode Checker on our website, as we’re always working to expand our delivery areas.
Please feel free to send us an email in my name to organics@abelandcole.co.uk, and I’ll personally look into this for you and share your feedback with our Logistics team so they can consider adding new delivery areas in the future.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,

Sadly some damaged mouldy fruit and veg…
Sadly some damaged mouldy fruit and veg on a couple of occasions, I had called and mentioned the fruit as it was a couple of nectarines and was refunded for those.
Very handy that you can change and swap items unlike some other providers, but I do feel that some of the food isn’t as tasty as I was expecting, anyway a few boxes in and will see how things go.
Although I do think it would not be great value at the full price.

Great service
Overall we like Abel and Cole, been shopping with them for about 6 years. Very occasionally I’ll have an issue with the produce, but the customer service team and quick to put it right once made aware.
