ReaFoods has gradually shifted towards selling brands, away from "ingredients". But the ingredients are still there, in droves, and very high quality they are too. Deliveries work well with good comms... See more

Real Foods great quality, reliable mail order
Real Foods are a great company. I use them for my own goodies and for sending yummy food parcels to my three daughters.
Great range of products, highly recommend the quality and range of organic and non organic items and food. Deliveries are always accurate, on time and free postage if you are main land U.K. and spend over £49. Easy to do! I love their easy to use web site.
Love them!

Fabulous products
Fabulous products - packed with care, by staff who deliver a superb level of service! SECOND TO NONE.
Thank you so much - especially with difficulties experienced when trying to place my online order, which was an issue with HSBC banking platform and not Real Foods.

Quality organic ingredients
Quality organic ingredients, delicious whole nuts and an ever increasing Gluten Free offering. Especially happy to see the Amisa bread range included! Ordering is easy, postage very reasonable and my order is always very securely packaged with recyclable materials. The only way it could improve is to open a shop down here in Yorkshire!

I have found that Real Foods stocks a number of organic foods that I cannot find elsewhere because some outlets keep on changing what they stock.
When I order my purchases are sent to me very quickly & invariably reach me within 2 days completing my order.
I often order things in glass containers & they arrive beautifully & safely packaged, avoiding plastics. This is very pleasing.
When I send an enquiring email I receive very prompt replies.
I am very satisfied with such good service.

We have looked into this and we can see you placed this order in June and that we also dispatched this order in June. In our terms and conditions under section 14 - DESCRIPTION OF GOODS, it does state ‘All other items will have a minimum of 2 months remaining of Best Before End dates.’
Great service
I have shopped with Real Foods on line for around a decade now. I have always found them professional, price competitive and efficient. No reason to change something that is far from broken. Great service
