I’m worried about giving my details online. How does it all work?
We use a very experienced and reputable merchant bank (the bank that processes the payments) called Streamline. They are the largest provider of merchant banking in the whole of Europe and are part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group. We also use Protx who takes the responsibility for getting your card details to the Streamline over the internet. Protx are also one of the largest and most reputable providers of this service, in the UK.
In addition some cards use pin authentication called 3D secure. You may be asked to put your pin number in - this is a nationwide scheme to help make things more secure. If you are concerned, please call us or your bank who will confirm the authentication process.
Is there a minimum Order?
The minimum order value is £40 minimum order and if chilled items are included these must amount to over £15. This is to ensure that packaging and food miles are again kept to a minimum and to ensure that our needs are balanced with ethical concern for our environment. There is no minimum orders for collection. Please buy online as normal and type collection at ----time. Your order will be ready. Please collect after midday where possible and before 4pm.
