Kosher Food in South London

This list is formulated by reference to a number of different synagogues and individuals.  I must acknowledge that this list is a result of that work, over a long period.   I have just put it together as one resource.    I cannot guarantee that all the information is correct, so please phone first before travelling a long distance.  Please also update me with information which you feel would be helpful to others.

Supermarket Telephone Shopping - To my knowledge SAINSBURY’S are the only large supermarket to offer telephone shopping – as opposed to on-line internet shopping .  This is obviously of most value to those who do not or cannot access the internet.   0800 3281700   available for orders 8 am – 9 pm Monday to Friday    Saturday 8 am – 8.30 pm    Sunday 10 am – 6.30 pm

 

Anyone can register for telephone shopping by phoning the above number and completing a form on the phone.  A debit or credit card is needed and a nectar card.   After 5 orders, the client will be sent a list of what they have ordered in order to help build up a standard delivery of core items if appropriate.   There is no minimum order.  There is no delivery charge for orders over £100 on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Other days, order under £40 – cost £6.00.  Order over £40 delivery varies between £3.50 and £6.50. 

 

(It is also worth contacting your local authority to find out about “Kosher Meals On Wheels”.  If you want to know about Hospital Kosher Meals Service, please contact me.   They can be made available at any hospital in the M25.  National Health Hospitals can take the special kosher hospital meals but private ones take the normal meals but in both cases deliveries can be set up within 24 hours normally.)

Cheaper Kosher Food

This is included although it is in Cricklewood,  North West London.  It might be worthwhile for those finding it difficult to afford the cost of kosher food.  I doubt if they deliver but it may be worth an occasional journey to “stock up”.    I have heard on good authority that the prices are much cheaper than elsewhere although it has restricted opening times.  I would suggest that you phone to check the opening times if you travelling especially to visit.
