African shops online

UK African supermarkets that deliver — for when there is no shop near you, or the one near you does not stock it.

When to buy online instead

A local shop is better for a weekly shop and for anything you want to choose yourself. Online is better for the things a local shop does not carry — a specific brand, a particular cut of meat, a bulk order, or a region's food that nobody near you stocks.

These are national retailers with warehouses and delivery, not local shops. They are listed here because people searching for an African shop often want one of them.

What to check on an online order

Delivery area and minimum order

Most deliver UK-wide but charge by weight or basket size. Some have a minimum order before delivery is free — worth knowing before you fill a basket.

Cold chain

Frozen fish, fresh meat and cassava dough need insulated delivery. If a retailer does not say how it ships chilled goods, ask before ordering.

Substitutions

Smaller online shops sometimes substitute items. Check whether they contact you first — it matters when you are cooking to a recipe.

Online retailers

Retailer listings are being added. If you run one, add it — listings are free.
