About Abel & Cole
Boxes and groceries
The fruit and veg boxes are packed with seasonal produce and come in several sizes. You can swap items you don't fancy, or add foods to a Dislikes list so alternatives arrive instead. Beyond the boxes there is organic meat and poultry raised to high welfare standards, sustainable fish, dairy, plant-based alternatives and a full set of store-cupboard basics.
The green credentials
Abel & Cole is a certified B Corp. It avoids air freight, cuts out pointless plastic and pays farmers fairly for growing in ways that protect biodiversity. Club Zero sends pantry items in returnable packaging, and a Plastic Pick-Up service collects hard-to-recycle plastic. Delivery routes are planned to keep emissions down.
How delivery works
Orders arrive weekly on the same day, in reusable boxes that go back to the company, with a £3.50 delivery fee. There's no long-term tie-in: skip a week or cancel whenever you like. If something isn't up to standard, customer care can arrange a refund or replacement. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or Direct Debit, gift cards are available, and students, NHS staff and military personnel can get discounts.
