We were really looking forward to our first delivery but unfortunately have been greatly disappointed. We usually shop at Waitrose and Ocado and prefer organic and free range food. The vegetables in our Abel & Cole box were ok except for the kiwi fruit which was over ripe and the carrots were starting to decay.
The cake, bread and scones were the biggest disappointment as they were hard - we expected at the premium cost we paid that they would be fresh but that was not the case! The sausages, despite having a use by date in a couple of days had a strange odour so we threw them away!
I fully support the values and ideals behind Abel and Cole but feel that the quality and freshness of the goods supplied needs to be greatly improved. I will not be making another purchase.
