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.

Simply love shopping with A&C
I've been buying groceries from A&C for some years now. Customer service has been outstanding, and the many gifts of wine, olive oil and other pantry staples have been much appreciated. There are good regular offers on items I want to buy such as organic chicken, Calon Wen butter and cheese, as well as spates of free delivery and £10-off vouchers. The choice of ethically sourced and artisan/small-scale grower/fisher/maker products is quite extraordinary. Products and produce are of good to high quality. This is a principled, honest, fair and generous firm.

Fresh and tasty!
Reliable, tasty produce that’s always a joy to receive - and healthy to eat! I look forward to my boxes and where possible, stick to UK produce. It’s flexible too - easy to change or skip orders.

Fresh real food!
When it's fresh, the quality is excellent & I think all should be eating like this- it's definitely more expensive but this is what we are supposed to pay for good food. The rest is not real food.
Sometimes the items are rather small & sometimes a bit out of date but they always credit you.

Deliveries have been on the door step by the time we wake up which has been excellent! Additionally, we have enjoyed the varied fruit and veg that has been on offer, not to mention the flavour. All of the items have had such excellent flavour!

Organic fruit and veg and more...
Happy to be getting my weekly shop from Abel & Cole for environmental reasons. The quality of the produce is very good and, with some of the veg boxes, the items can be swapped which is so useful. Also, really good customer service.

Vegetable fruit heaven
Have been receiving deliveries from lovely Abel & Cole for many years. Overall a very good service, reliable delivery and quality products. There has been the odd blip with a food item not being up to standard but that’s rare, and any issues always rectified quickly.
