Always great
I've been a regular purchaser from the surplus to purpose warehouse for about a year now. They stock a whole range of items. There is always plenty of breads, fruit and veg to fill your boxes aswell as baking mixes. Many other items are subject to change as they are intercepted from difference places thay would otherwise dispose of them. It makes each visit unique and admittedly I do get a bit excited when I visit as you never know what you'll come away with.
Their delivery service and website has come on leaps and bounds. I recently purchased 80 cans of pop and a big box of food for £32.50. We made some lovely casseroles during the week with the veg. They also threw in some treats for our dogs (all online orders currently get free items if you add them to your basket).
I appreciate this review probably sounds like advertising but it's not! I love the place, they do an incredible job and it's a great way to save money and stop food wastage!

Great food box
I ordered a surplus food box for delivery. It came on the correct day, with a good range of items, and the apples were tastier and in better condition than some of our regular supermarket ones! Good value for money.
