Company details
Written by the company
At Abel & Cole, we’ve trailblazed sustainable shopping since 1988 – doing food right from day one. What started with selling organic potatoes door to door has grown into a network of trailblazing farmers, sustainability experts and dedicated shoppers who all share the same passion for the planet. For over 35 years, we’ve delivered delicious, planet-friendly food, drink and more to homes across the UK. When our shoppers unbox their delivery, they can trust that it’s filled with top-quality groceries. Like high-welfare meat from award-winning farms. Responsibly caught, MCS-rated fish. Artisanal bread from family-run bakeries. And farm-fresh fruit & veg grown as nature intended. All ethically sourced from growers and makers who put the planet first and sustainably delivered in our returnable, reusable boxes. We’re proud to have built long-standing relationships with our farmers. We commit to paying our growers fairly, never squeezing them for profit and planning our boxes around their seasonal harvests. That means our iconic Fruit & Veg Boxes are always filled with the freshest, organic crops – grown sustainably with zero artificial pesticides. And for every Fruit & Veg Box we deliver, we donate fresh fruit & veg to fight food poverty through our One Box: One Portion charity initiative. We go the extra mile to make every shop sustainable for our customers. We say no to pointless plastic – that’s why there’s 77% less plastic in our Fruit & Veg Boxes than the same items from some of the biggest supermarkets. Our growing Club Zero collection gives shoppers over 100 zero-waste refills to choose from, slimming their bins even more. And as part of our Packaging Promise, we’ll always take back anything that can’t be recycled at home. Even collecting our customers’ flexi-plastics from any shop through our Plastic Pick-Up Service.

- Zero pointless plastic
- Our Packaging Promise is to help you slim your bin. That means we only use packaging if it genuinely serves a purpose, like preventing food waste. We also make sure you can reuse, recycle, or return it to us for a sustainable end of life – so you don’t have to send anything from our deliveries to landfill.
- Zero air miles
- We source as much as possible from the UK to help keep food miles and carbon emissions as low as possible. For anything that can’t be sourced or grown in the UK, we have a zero airfreight policy in place.
- Farmers paid fairly
- Being fair on price means that we can help offer our farmers security – it’s important that they can make a profit, so they can reinvest it and continue to farm. As a proud Real Living Wage employer, we’re also committed to paying a fair price to our farmers to allow them to then pay a fair wage to their teams.

A Great Joy of Happiness! Returning to the Tantalising, Rich, True Banquet of Almighty God's Organic Food Today—With Abel & Cole
Hi all at the Abel and Cole team. Thank you for your great service! My parents came from way back generations of naturally organic farm life in Punjab, India—a region famous for its rich farming fields of sugar cane (making jaggery too), watermelons, chickpeas, and pure creamy milk from our loving cattle.Moving to the UK in the summer of 1965 when I was just four and a half years old, they brought those traditions into our family garden and allotment. The incredible strength my parents had came from them having organic produce all their lives, proving how great it is for health. Having appreciation for our loving Almighty God loving all mankind, learning all good gifts provisions are from him has truly shaped my lifestyle in loving all mankind always.As a people person who loves all races and ages, we were lovingly welcomed by all our neighbours back then. Throughout my school life and later with my work colleagues, they became my real family who always wanted the best for me.It is cheaper, easier, and so much better for the entire world to return to this natural way of living. Nourishing our bodies with pure organic food, just as our loving Creator intended wanted to protect everyone's health from the detrimental effects of extra artificial additions.Growing up with my parents' organic produce, and now at the age of 65 today, I am surprised at how the aromas from those fields—the watermelons, the burning of chickpea leaves, fresh sugar cane drink, and trays of warm jaggery with coconut, ginger, and fennel seeds—still come back to me now and again. True food!!Abel & Cole's produce allows me to truly embrace God's naturally organic food—a rich, beautiful, tantalising banquet once again that can never be replaced!Your team matches this quality with wonderful care. The phone advisors are incredibly patient and polite, never rushing me, which is so deeply appreciated especially given my disabilities. The emails are always clear, and from queries and refunds to the helpful delivery drivers, your service is exceptional.Thank you again, Abel and Cole team!A True Country Girl!Ms Gurdeep Johal17th July 2026
Would recommend Abel & Cole definitely ☺️
I started using Abel & Cole again after many years & had forgotten just how good they where. Organic fresh fruit & veg which is amazing. I'd never bought their meat before but got two organic chicken thighs, skin on OMG! Better than my butchers & waitrose, I'll being buying all my meat & fish from A&C from now on 💖 & it's delivered to my door. Prices are about the same too & tbh I'd rather pay a bit more NOT to have the pesticides ☺️💖 Would recommend A&C definitely!

I've been very impressed with the veg boxes, everything has been fresh and tasted good. It's also good to be able to buy other staples I find hard to find elsewhere that I like.
Damaged my property
Their delivery driver has been parking his truck in my garden for which I have spent a lot of money on. Over the course of time my block paving has been damaged. Only found out when I caught him yesterday, although had suspicions. He has also been swinging the door open inside my garden which has damaged my fencing. Why park in my garden when I live on a quiet side street that has plenty of layby parking?
If you value your property, don’t order from these cowboys. Why should I have to cough up the damage you have caused?
When I complained, they didn’t take it seriously. No remorse. Just told me they would pass it on to the relevant team, never heard anything since. Disgusting.

You have a very good service. I am happy in every way. Thank you for providing me with the best and delicious food at the right time and day.

Able & Cole is simply a fantastic food provider. The quality of the produce is exceptional, deliveries are always efficient and reliable, and I really appreciate their strong commitment to sustainability. Great products, great service, and excellent value for money, highly recommended!
Efficient
I had prior warning of the approximate time of delivery. That's important, when the weather doesn't always make it possible to leave the packaging out overnight.
Then the delivery/collection was on time.
Good quality fruit and vegetables
The fruit and vegetables are good quality and taste good. The Fruit / Vegetables boxes have plenty of choice and the option to swap if you don’t like what’s in there. In my opinion far superior to a supermarket if you’re looking for organic fresh produce. I like the fact that a lot of the items are in paper bags and not all wrapped in plastic. I like to buy the venison as it’s not available in my supermarkets. The yoghurts and kefir they sell taste delicious and come in glass jars. The website is easy to use.
Would recommend to anyone
Good customer service
Very good customer service when veg quality wasn’t as good as we expected
