About Us

Why We Started East Crate Express

We know the struggle. Full working weeks, school runs, and no realistic time to trek across town for groceries.

As working parents ourselves, we kept running into the same problems: Filipino and Asian products were never nearby - and when we finally found them, the prices felt steep for what was in the packet. Not because the food was special, but because there was nowhere else to buy it.

So we built the shop we wished existed.

East Crate Express brings your favourite Filipino and Asian groceries to your door at fair, affordable prices.

We don't mark up excessively. We buy direct, keep our margins lean, and price our products so a household can actually stock a pantry without wincing at the total. You're paying for the food - not the middleman, and not the face that no one else nearby sells it. No inflated "specialty import" pricing. No premium for the privilege of finding it.

And affordable doesn't mean cutting corners. Every product on our shelves is one we'd put in our own kitchen. Nothing we wouldn't serve our own family makes it into a crate.

Fair prices, real quality, fast tracked delivery anywhere in the UK.

Whether you're feeding a family on a weekly budget, planning dinners around shift work, or working late and cooking later - we're here to make it simple, affordable, and taste exactly like it should.

Shop Now. Our Pricing Promise.

We buy direct. Fewer hands between the supplier and your door means a lower price on the shelf. 

We keep overheads low. No shopfront rent, no retail staffing. Those savings go into our pricing, not our margins.

We don't mark up excessively. A fair margin keeps us running. Anything beyond that comes out of your weekly shop, and we're not interested in that.

We price for the weekly shop. Everyday staples at everyday prices - not treat-purchase pricing.
