Questions
Do you offer online ordering and delivery?
Currently we operate as a physical store only, with daily fresh deliveries ensuring product quality. We recommend visiting our Sevenoaks location for the best shopping experience.
Are your eco-friendly practices certified?
While we maintain our own sustainability standards, we focus on practical implementation rather than formal certifications. Our practices include 100% recyclable packaging and energy-efficient refrigeration systems.
Do you sell out-of-season produce?
We prioritise seasonal availability, but maintain limited stock of popular non-seasonal items like bananas and citrus fruits to accommodate customer needs while maintaining our sustainability principles.
Can I return packaging for reuse?
We encourage customers to reuse our cardboard boxes and trays, which are available at checkouts. While we don't operate a formal return scheme, we promote circular economy practices through our packaging policies.
Do you offer catering services?
Our current operations focus on retail sales only. However, we provide bulk ordering options for special events and corporate clients through our regular store offerings.
Are all products locally sourced?
We source 85% of our stock from Kent producers. While some staple items require national suppliers, we maintain strict local sourcing criteria for all our fresh produce and specialty goods.
