Our Prices
Are competitive, being the same as our shop price and not inflated as some on line grocery sales are, we do not charge for delivery on local sales. Because our customers order in advance we are able to balance our stock requirements more accurately , therefore minimising food waste, ensuring better, fresher products for our customers.
Our Packaging
We are trying to minimise the use of packaging and where possible we are using Biodegradable or recycled materials. Our meat packaging is able to go straight into a deep freeze if required and the label information tells you the product, weight and when packed, enabling better freezer management for you.
How it works
Customers visit each of the online shops- the greengrocer, baker, butcher, fishmonger and deli- putting exactly what they want in their basket. Orders must be placed by midday on Tuesday and will be ready for collection on Thursday or Friday from the collection point the customer chooses at the checkout. Payment can be by card via secure payment gateway (Sagepay) or by cheque on collection. Orders are delivered in numbered plastic crates, with any chilled items kept in a cool bag with an ice pack. All crates, bags and cool bags should be returned to the collection point at the customer’s convenience; most easily when collecting their next order.
A small annual subscription charge of £5 is added to the customers first order and then no further delivery or packing charges apply. All goods are offered with a no-quibble full money back guarantee and even the £5 charge will be refunded after the first order if customers do not wish to continue shopping at The Butcher, The Baker Online Shop, subject to the return of any crates and cool bags issued.Charities we support
