Riverford have been good for us for the past 4.5 years. We tend to get three meal boxes a week, started out two meat meals a week but realised we tended to prefer the vegetarian ones and now get mainly vegan or veg ones.
Convenient, minimal waste and often it’s not much more costly than buying the same (but non organic produce) from the supermarket.

"Boxes". What are your experiences of them? I've always avoided as they seemed not that convenient and pretty expensive but figure they've evolved a lot. I also no longer live in London and (comparable to say Green Lanes) there isn't a convenient local place to get vegetables or meat that isn't a supermarket.
Looking at meat from Pipers Farm - (guanciale and pig skin!) and veg from Riverford, both of which have optional upgrades for things like bread/dairy/cupboardy bits.
Any thoughts/experience?
I also like the idea that having something delivered may mean my weak will isn't tested when I go to Co-Op just meaning to pick up a bit of minced beef every couple of days and coming back with 50 quids worth of bacon, some brioche buns, a multipack of crisps and a selection of crafts beers. Because, ultimately, I'm fat and could do with eating a lot less and a lot better.
