Greens of Highgate

We had bought things from Greens occasionally for a number of years but with the arrival of lockdown decided to order a regular medium-sized veg box delivery. We have been astonished at the difference in quality between Green’s fruit and veg and what we’ve been used to from Sainsbury’s, M&S and Ocado/Waitrose. Strawberries that have real taste, not the watery force-grown varieties we’ve been putting up with. Wonderful asparagus. Corn on the cob so tasty you can eat it straight from the grill with nothing added. We get a big selection of basics like potatoes and onions and lots of high value fruit and veg like avocados. Not only that, but Greens is a company that gives back to the community as I know they regularly donate fruit and vegetables to the needy via local charities. Whatever happens post-lockdown, we’ll be sticking with our veg box!

Fantastic service, wonderful flowers. Thanks to the kind chap delivering who called and then persevered in finding the address after I made a mistake!

Absolutely fantastic service from this family run business. They went over and above with producing a gorgeous fruit hamper and even adding in some coffee beans from Starbucks next door for a colleague who had recently undergone hip surgery. She was overwhelmed with the delivery and will be coming in to thank you personally once she is up and mobile properly. Thank you again for such a brilliant service and would highly recommend this business.

Original review: The fruits were always fresh. The service can be improved though.The apricot I ordered a while ago was missing (April 22). I sent an email to ask for a refund but never heard back from the owners.Update: The owner saw my original review and informed me that they’ve refunded me in April (my account shows the refund on 27 April). Thanks!

This is the first time I have ordered from Green's, and I am hugely impressed. The small mixed box of fruit and veg had a variety of excellent produce, all of which would keep for a few days. A godsend in these self-isolating times. The promised delivery duly arrived within three days. Many thanks.

Greens of Highgate offer amazing quality on their speedy deliveries of fruit and veg, eggs and flowers. I’ve had the nicest avocado ever. I love the fact they choose for me and it’s all a surprise. The flowers are very beautiful and last for ages. It’s made me realise that food is to enjoy as well as just eating to survive!

I really wanted to like this place - it looks so pretty and festive - but the fruit is so substandard. The plums were hard and fizzy, and the pomegranates were browned on the inside and sour. Lovely lady at the counter, but I wouldn't buy my fruit from here again - M&S is far superior.

We’ve always picked up fruit and vegetables at Greens as part of our regular shop in Muswell Hill due to the fantastic range and quality as well as being able to pop in whilst walking our dog. However since lockdown their fruit and vegetable boxes have been a lifesaver particularly at a time when we were self isolating and weren’t sure we’d be able to get to the shops. The produce is always of a very high quality and the range in the boxes has meant we’ve been well stocked up. I suspect we’ll certainly continue to get the boxes after lowdown - thank you!

I'm really enjoying my weekly fruit and veg box, especially grateful for the delivery during Covid Lockdown. I like how I can specify what items I wish to receive in my weekly order. I don't think many other grocers offer that option to choose what you get.
