Hello!
I hope you’re all keeping well and healthy. Sending lots of well wishes your way. We’re all trying to cope with it the best we can. Let’s follow the government advice and do as much as we can, while the brave front line soldiers fight to keep us safe.
I know a lot of us have been struggling to find places to do our groceries. Online delivery from key suppliers like Ocado, Farmdrop etc are hard to get into unless you have the patience to join an online queue and/or if you’re able to physically go into supermarkets. If you’re in full isolation mode and/or unable to get into stores due to health or whatever reason, here’s a list of home delivery options available to you:
- Industry suppliers are opening their supplies to everyone, especially with supermarkets shelves going empty (mainly because of inconsiderate and selfish people)
- Support your local delis, cafes and restaurants- ask them if they’re now doing deliveries and/or how they’re coping to see if you can help
- Some of the notable alternatives to Ocado, FarmDrop and local supermarkets are below. Please call the service provider if you’re out of London as some are also offering UK wide delivery:
- Natoora,

THERE.IS.NO.GIVING.UP.HERE!! ?????? I’m keeping our Instagram Stories up-to-date and trying to share the information on our social channels.
