- Install Microsoft Edge
- Order from a computer that uses any modern browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.
- Order with a smartphone.
If you are still struggling please message us we can always call you to sort over the phone the good old fashion way. We should have your basket details saved in most cases.

What packaging will my order be delivered in?
Reducing our carbon footprint is an important part of minimising our impact on the environment and as such, we are moving away from single use cardboard boxes on delivery to returnable plastic crates. We also pack some of our products in home compostable punnets.
We will ask customers to decant their groceries from the plastic crate on delivery and return to the driver. We ask customers to have your own bags or containers ready for when your shopping arrives.
We appreciate your help with reducing Watts Farms carbon footprint!

Yes, all our delivery vehicles are refrigerated to ensure your products are kept at the correct temperature. Our warehouse is strictly temperature controlled, meaning your product is picked, packed and delivered at the correct temperature.
