Our Products

The images of the Products on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Your Products may vary slightly from those images as computers and other devices can display colours differently and food itself varies in colour and size. The packaging of the Products may also vary from that shown in images on our Website.

Any weights of the Products are approximations only unless we state otherwise.

Whilst we will provide general advice, recipes and instructions relating to our Products, any advice, recipes and instructions provided by Local Food & More relating to our Products have been produced in order to help you in using the Products and to give guidance. These are provided for general information only. We accept no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising as a result of the advice, recipes or instructions provided to you on our Website or in conjunction with any of our Products.

You are responsible for opening and inspecting the Products upon delivery and then storing them correctly (for example, in the fridge). You are also completely responsible for the preparation and cooking of our Products. We accept no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising as a result of your incorrect storage, preparation or cooking of our Products.

If you have an allergy, you are responsible for checking our packaging and Website to ensure that a Product does not contain a relevant allergen to you. If you are not sure, please contact us on 0800 0465670 or alovelycustomer@localfoodandmore.org. All of the packaging for our Products is labelled to show any allergen advice, but please note that our Products may contain allergens including cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats), crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, lactose, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, lupin and molluscs. All Products are packed in a facility that handles nuts. Any severe allergy sufferers should contact us before placing an order If we are unable to supply you with Products, for example because we cannot meet the delivery date or because of supply chain issues, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order.

If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount charged as soon as possible.

We will try our best to supply exactly the Box(es) ordered, including the correct type and weight of ingredient described in the weekly menu card, but we reserve the right to substitute such ingredients that we may not be able to practically and reasonably obtain with similar ingredients.

We like to tell you which suppliers we are using as we think they are some of the best available locally. However, we reserve the right to change suppliers at any time and without notification, particularly if there are supply and delivery issues or shortages.

How the Contract is formed between you and us

Please take time to read and check your order at each stage of the order process. After placing an order for our Box(es), you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched ( "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us for the purchase of our Products ( "Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. We are not under any obligation to accept an order from you. 

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation. 

Your consumer right of return and refund

As our Products contain fresh and perishable food, you are not entitled to the "normal" right to return goods within 14 days after the day you receive them, simply if you change your mind. This is because the food is likely to have a best before date within only a few days of delivery of the Products.

Right to cancel an order if you notify us before midnight on Wednesday before delivery on a Friday: If you have ordered Products for delivery on Tuesday and then change your mind or decide for any reason that you do not want to receive a Product, you can notify us of your decision (see "How to contact us" below) and cancel your order before midnight on the Friday before the following Tuesday delivery. We agree to cancel your order and will not charge you for it.

Right of return and refund if the Product is defective or not as described: Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. You have legal rights in relation to Products that are defective or not as described. If the Products we deliver to you are defective or are not as described on our Website, you should contact us and report such defect or misdescription as soon as possible (we ask that this is within 2 days from delivery of the Products and if possible we ask that you send us a photograph as evidence of the defective or misdescribed Product – this will assist in processing your refund quickly).

We will ask you to safely dispose of such Product and if we agree that it is defective or misdescribed (acting reasonably) we will offer you the choice of either a replacement delivery on our next available delivery run or a refund of the price of the Product in full.

We will refund you within 14 days after the day on which (whichever is the earlier of):

We try our best to ensure that our Products are perfect 100% of time, but we are sure you will agree that this is not always possible. In the event of a minor error (for example, failing to include one ingredient which is not the main ingredient, or substituting a red pepper for a yellow pepper) we reserve the right to use our discretion as to whether a full refund is applicable or not. We will act reasonably and may offer you a partial refund or a voucher. We will refund you by the method used by you to pay.

  1. the day on which you provide us with acceptable evidence that the Product is defective or misdescribed and we have agreed for you to throw the Product away safely.
  2. the day on which you provide us with acceptable evidence that you have sent the Product back to us; or
  3. the day we receive the Product back from you;
