Good quality produce particularly the Brazil nuts. However the bags had split in transit, or may not have been sealed properly, and the prunes and brazils had got mixed up with everything else.

Hate to write this
Hate to write this, as have been a long-time customer of Real Foods’ first wee shop in Morrison Street, but the packet of bay leaves recently sent to us was not at all up to standard. They had very little aroma, and many were brown as this looked like very old stock. The contrast between this packet and the previous one I bought online from someone else is like chalk and cheese. I don’t think the very slow delivery was your fault, but the lack of quality in a basic simple herb makes me cautious about trusting you again with serious items, and I would be glad of your reassurance on this point.

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.
