To anyone who has ordered or is thinking of ordering.


I ordered a large box at lunch time yesterday. The email acknowledgement said "we will let you know when your order is ready to be delivered".


I hadn't heard anything 24 hours later so rang just to see if it would be coming today, as if not I will have to get some food in.


The man who answered the phone told me their lead time is "currently 4 days". So I said, so I should expect my box ordered yesterday on Thursday or Friday then? He replied "probably Saturday".


I am posting this here just to let people know, as there is no information about delivery dates on the website nor on the email acknowledgement.

I have an order in from yesterday but understand they are new to this


I'd rather they actually manage to deliver than just don't turn up (eh Co-op).


I'm dreading my run to Tesco 2 minutes away - outside looks busy - some girl loudly coughing (I think on purpose to annoy people)

If anyone wants an alternative, check out spiers salads. Full disclosure they are Part owned by my wife?s cousin (who lives in brockley) but we have ordered fruit and veg through them and its great. I know others who have as well and reviews have been very good.

They used to run salad bars in the city and like others they have had to adapt, or indeed die. They too were struggling a bit to keep up with the incredible demand but have since joined forces with a local delivery company (who themselves have had to adapt from their original model delivering food to restaurants) to increase capacity to around 500 deliveries a day to south east london. Monday is full but Tuesday has space.


Check them out.


Stay safe everyone.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
