Many people don’t realise that in their very own neighbourhoods there are some excellent food suppliers that are hidden away in side streets or just off the beaten path. That’s why when WhatsGoodOnTheWeb was told about Foodado.com we thought we had to have a look around the website and put together a quick review.

Based in London, Foodado isn’t just an online retailer of food (like so many others!) they are actually a place that brings local suppliers into contact with local people very much like the old style cooperative giving shoppers greater choice than just the large supermarkets and at the same time helping to maintain local businesses.

The site is ideal for people who are looking for things that are slightly different (not just a tin of beans) from fresh ground coffee through to speciality cheeses and sauces which does make it very different. One of the things we liked about the site is that on some of the products there are recipe ideas so if you like the sound of something but don’t know what to do with it all the answers are on the site.

Each of the food producers are independent and Foodado take a commission from the sale which does not cost the customer anything extra and best of all most of the retailers offer free delivery if you spend over a certain amount. We think that the Foodado idea is a great one and we hope it will help many of the smaller food retailers access a whole new market through the Internet

Foodado say that they are going to be adding offers and rewards to the website in the future and lets hope it continues to grow so they can offer the service across the UK. This is definitely a site to watch for in the future.
