Was happy to pay a little more because we like the laundry liquid scent. Unfortunately we were sent the wrong scent to what we ordered and could have paid less for this scent elsewhere.

Great quality food
Great quality food, promptly dispatched with the free delivery for quantity and no surcharges.
Packaging not appropriate for a heavy object however, and fell apart somewhere in transit but with goods inside intact.

Real Food is excellent
Real Food is excellent! Ive been ordering for years and a few things went wrong, but it was not their fault. That was ordering apple compot in glass jars -they broke. ...... not their fault. But that isnt the point, the point in this review , is to express the outstanding excellent quality and uniquiness like artichokes and wild garlic, of their fresh vegatables, salads they add flowers to their hand selected salads , it is truly the best fresh produce and all organic, available in the UK I reckon. I cant get organic apricots or onions at tesco but I can at Real Food! I live in NW Wales and they deliver here by DPD free- Thank you real food team, you are Stars! With Grattitude and deep appreciation- Catherine

Wild Garlic
I have ordered Wild Garlic through Real Foods and it arrived fresh and well packaged. I couldn’t find any near where I leave so this was amazing.

Real Foods is now my main supermarket
Real Foods stock many brands and products that are hard to find in mainstream supermarkets and local independent shops. Real Foods has become my first choice 'supermarket'. The customer service is excellent, very fast response from real people. The delivery time is fast, the orders accurate and well packed in recyclable packaging.

Excellent products and fast delivery
Great choice of products which are of excellent quality. I love the organic oat groats 😍 which are not readily available elsewhere. Communication was great and delivery was swift. I would highly recommend

great quality
I don't have a good health food store near me so I always order from Real Foods. Their own brand nuts, seeds, flours etc. are great quality and reasonably priced, and they've a good range of organic products. Delivery is always efficient and they prioritise sending whole order once available rather than split it over a few days.

Dumped on front step.
Tracking didn't work (bounced between Parcelforce & Royal Mail). No advance notification. Delivery was dumped on the front doorstep while we were away. Left out overnight in paper/cardboard packaging that had burst open. Not very clever for a perishable food delivery!
