Advantages: Great produce, lots of new things to try, good website

Disadvantages: Less variety in winter

I have been using Abel and Cole for my weekly fruit and veg for around 18 months now, and I think they are fantastic. I get the mixed organic fruit and veg box which is enough to feed 2-3 people, and find it is definitely enough to feed me and my husband. You can select from a variety of different boxes, including family sized boxes, fruit only boxes, and luxury boxes, and have them delivered weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or as a one off. You can also order extra fruit, vegetables, oils, breads, cheeses, meats, and fish. The produce is all organic, and tastes excellent. On two occasions I have had a pice of fruit arrive in a bad condition, and as soon as they have received my e.mail I have had the price of the item refunded to my account. Things like lettuce and cabbage need a really good wash, and you have to beware that there may be creepy crawlies on the leaves, but for the knowledge that your food hasn't been sprayed with pesticides and chlorine as in the supermarkets, it's definitely worth it. In the winter the lack of variety can be a little off-putting, but that is because the crops are sourced as locally as possible, and obviously here in the UK e don't have the climate for growing things other than root veg in the winter! I have tried a whole variety of things that I would never have tried otherwise, such as romanesco cauliflower, chard, and salsify. The website is extremely easy to navigate and shopping to add extras is all too easy as well! If you go away you can just add your holiday dates to your account, and no delivery will be made between those dates.

Summary: Great organic fruit and veg delivered straight to your door, excellent service
