  • hi does anyone know of veg box deliveries for the grimsby and cleethorpes area, i have seached but cant find any!
    wanting to try a box to see if it works out cheaper for us as we spend at least£10 a week on fruit and veg and always get the same stuff so this might help us to try some other fruit and veg

    Hi, if you are looking for somewhere that delivers in your area you could try this website
    http://www.alotoforganics.co.uk/cats/organic-vegetables.php

    Has plenty of website for all areas, HTH. Kal25

    Thanks for that, I found a box scheme I'd not heard of before, liked what I read and what was listed for next week's boxes so have ordered. icon7.gif
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    I use these:

    Don't know if they go where you are based in Shropshire. Always been pleased with the quality and quantities, although I am tempted to try boxfresh just to see how the qualities/quantities compare.
    :hello:
  • aaaw no-where near my part of the country, what a shame! Enjoy your veggies Simba, that is amazing value!

  • Hi

    i've been using Abel & Cole for a few months and i love getting my fruit and veg box each week, as someone else said it is like christmas each week. i also get my bread, milk and eggs from them. The bread is fantasitc.

    What swung it for me was being able to put down what i didn't like so that i knew that i wasn't going to have it in my box.
    Also on the website are lots of recipes for the vegetables - these are great.
    i actually spend less money on shopping now as i don't need to go to the supermarket very often now and so don't buy 'extras' (my freezer is full of meat from the butchers).
    i get the small box and that is just the right size for me for the week, but if i'm having people to stay for the weekend, i just get the larger box.
    Which ever company you go for - enjoy!

    Hi,
    I did try a Veg box delivery for a few weeks last year from memory a company called Harvest?
    £15.00 box veg was really good, just one query though i found that there was not enough for a family of 4 just to explain :
    3 carrots - for a meal
    i did query it at the time and was told they go by weight of the box ?
    does anyone know of any other companys i could look into.
