Best fresh food deliveries in London
Now that everyone has been told to stay at home and not risk catching and transmitting the virus, we need to rely on veg box deliveries for our weekly groceries.
With most supermarkets’ delivery slots full for weeks on end and long queues at your local supermarket, these fresh food delivery services might be the best option. Most of them will deliver other groceries too like flour, bread, eggs and milk.
Good news, a lot of wholesale fruit and veg suppliers who have lost their restaurant customers are now delivering veg boxes to retails customers instead. Some restaurants are doing the same too.
Here is a list of places where you order your veg boxes and also fresh meat boxes too. NHS staff are offered discounts at some of these retailers.
Fresh Fruit and Veg Box Deliveries in London

One of the many trade suppliers to open their door to retails customers. You do have to buy in bulk so this is suitable for bigger families. They even sell flour, my friend got a 15kg bag a few days ago. You have to register a new account on their site before you can shop.
First Choice
These guys have a choice of 3 sizes veg boxes from £20. They are also delivering a Sunday Roast box and a whole variety of other fruits and veg. They will deliver within 2-3 days of the order. Note that the minimum order value is £30 and it is free delivery over £60 in London.

This greengrocer is now delivering to any London postcodes. Every box will be filled with a variety of fruit and veg. You can also add in eggs, juice and even mushroom boxes. For the gourmets, they even have a Michelin Box which is filled with the finest produce.
I visited the Isle of Wight tomato farm in the Isle of Wight a while ago and can say that they produce the tastiest tomatoes in the UK. They all taste like how tomatoes should taste and sweet cherry tomatoes are so sweet and juicy that you can eat them like sweets. Absolutely gorgeous. I always look out for their tomatoes in supermarkets but they are not often stocked. You can order 3kg boxes and get them delivered to your door. See the choice of boxes here: https://www.thetomatostall.co.uk/box-scheme
These guys supply the best organic subscription food boxes. I have spoken to them at length about how they pick their suppliers. They are all thoroughly audited for welfare and quality. I would highly recommend them. Unfortunately, since lockdown, they are only delivering the organic produce to existing customers. For new customers, they have the “Food on the Go” option, which is food from wholesale suppliers going to restaurants.
Daylesford Organic Vegetable Boxes
Another option for organic produce. If you live near a Daylesford shop, you can make your selection for home delivery. If you don’t live near a shop, you can order organic boxes online from their shop.
