Delivery dates for the Christmas period 2025
Daily Essentials
We’re pleased to say we’ll be busy delivering your Daily Essentials over the festive period, in line with your usual delivery days, with just a little pause on Bank Holidays. There will be no Daily Essentials deliveries on the following dates:

As always, if you would like to make, add to, or change a Daily Essentials order, please be sure to do this before 9pm on the day before your chosen delivery date.
From Friday 2nd January normal delivery patterns will be resumed.
Best of Local orders
As we work with local suppliers to sell only the freshest produce there will be a few days over the Christmas period when we won’t be delivering our Best of Local range, as fresh produce won’t be available. And, of course, our partners will need a well-earned break too!
Here are our key Best of Local dates for the Christmas season:
| Tuesday 23rd December | Delivering as usual |
| Wednesday 24th December | Delivering as usual |
| Thursday 25th December | No deliveries |

We will be making deliveries up to and including Wednesday 24th December, in line with your usual delivery days.
To ensure your Best of Local order reaches your doorstep before Christmas, please place your order before 9pm on either Sunday 21st December for Tuesday delivery, or on Monday 22nd December for Wednesday delivery.
If you currently have an order booked for delivery on any date when we are not making deliveries, please log into your online account and select an alternative delivery date. Any deliveries that have not been moved to an alternative date will be removed automatically on Friday 12th December 2025.
If you have already received an email from us about a regular order being moved automatically, this move has taken place, so you don’t need to do anything, unless you’d like to make any further adjustments.
