I ordered lots of lemons from Real Foods for the first time.
The quality was superb and I will definitely use Real Foods again.

Order cancelled
I placed an order, only to be emailed the next day saying it was cancelled because the product is ‘end of season’ and no longer being sold. If that’s the case, why does the website still allow the order to go through? Even more frustrating — I tested the site again and it’s still taking orders for the same item they told me they can’t supply. Completely avoidable, misleading, and a waste of my time.

Very good customer service
Purchased a small gift which was at a reasonable price compared to other stores. It arrived quicker than expected, however the box was unfortunately damaged. Great customer service from Toni, very quick to reply, apologetic, and sent out a replacement (in perfect condition) within days. Very good service.

Good company, poor product.
The company is probably fine but the product was terrible. Not fresh wheatgerm but nasty dried up stabilised wheatgerm that I would never have bought if it had been described properly. I would send it back but I had to open it to find out what it was like as the packaging was opaque.

I have been using Real Foods for a while. 100%
I have been using Real Foods for a while as they have items I can't get elsewhere. Also very easy website to use. They always pack and deliver very quickly unless out of stock. If that happens they give you sensible options. I always say wait until all in stock. Never long.

Impressed with ease of ordering and fast delivery
This is my first order from Real Foods. I enjoyed some oatcakes while on holiday in Scotland and wanted to buy some more when i got home.
Real foods stocked them and it was easy to order and delivery was much faster than I expected.

Quality food…
I'm trying to lose some weight so it's important to me that I enjoy the food I eat. I tried Real Foods for buying items that are not readily available in supermarkets and I've been impressed with the excellent quality and service.

Not one friendly staff member
Not one friendly staff member , ask a question and get looked up and down like a criminal . Bad attitudes and Lazy . Food standards bad too , bought Clove Garlic that looked beautiful and fresh , got home to discover it was damp and mushy inside , free range eggs are horrible , shells were damp like wet cardboard , prices are of the chart expensive . Not just on one occasion .
Best service, best organic food, fast
Really happy with the excellent service from Real Foods. Fantastic quality of veg, fruit and all other produce received and the quick, hassle free delivery service.
The free delivery over £50 and the speed of delivery means I can use Real Foods for most of my weekly shop and am so grateful that it's possible to get such lovely fresh veg and fruit from Real Foods when I live so far away.
The flavour, freshness and quality of the veg and fruit is so much better than that which I bought elsewhere until now. So much so that it's added greatly to my pleasure in cooking and eating.
