Exceptional eggs, delivered to your door.
The Dalston Egg Shop works directly with farmers to deliver just laid award-winning eggs, direct from the hen to your home.
Supermarket eggs are great
Said absolutely nobody, ever.
More commonly you'll find pale yolks, old eggs, whites that run across the pan, and 'mixed' dozens full of tiny eggs.
An exceptional egg is hard to find, even more so in the middle of a huge city, and so we decided to do something about it.
Introducing the Dalston Egg Shop
An egg is an egg, right? If that’s your view, you might be in the wrong place.
The Dalston Egg Shop is London’s first business dedicated to serving the city’s true egg lovers.
We work directly with independent, family run farms whose well cared for hens produce some of the UKs finest eggs - those that never make it to the shelves of the supermarket!
By cutting out the middlemen, we bring these exceptional eggs from the hen to your home, faster and fresher than anywhere else. And the best part? We do it all by emission-free bicycle.

Why choose our eggs?
-
Rich yolks
The hens' natural diet, and ability to scratch, peck and eat outside, yields beautiful eggs with rich golden yolks.
-
Flexible subscriptions
Our egg subscriptions are super flexible and easy to manage.
Skip deliveries, pause for longer, or cancel any time. -
Better welfare
The hens live in small free range flocks, feed on cereals grown on the farm, and range on green pasture throughout the day.
-
Emission free delivery
All deliveries are made by emission free cargo bike (despite this being frequently terrifying).
-
Proper large eggs
Mixed dozens? We could never. The only thing we sell are trays full of proper large eggs.
-
Long shelf life
Our eggs travel direct from the farm, so you'll get 25 days or more from the time we deliver.
Our farmer friends
Industrial egg production? We could never.
We source all of our our eggs from tiny family-run farms with small flocks of hens - the kind where the hens are known, not numbered, and well-fair welfare is just how things are done.
Sally (pictured) and her partner have farmed their patch of land for decades, keeping things small, spacious, and lovingly hands-on, which is exactly why their eggs turn up at your door looking, and tasting, as good as they do.
There’s "free-range", and then there’s proper free-range.
The hens that lay your eggs aren’t doing that awkward “one step outside, back in again” routine.
They get to stride, stretch, scratch and peck their way around grassy pastures whenever they fancy (and it's not night-time).

Frequently Asked Questions
How flexible are the deliveries? Can I skip when needed?
It's so important that subscriptions are flexible, and ours are exactly that. You'll receive a reminder three days prior to every order, and you can skip a delivery (or pause for longer) in a couple of clicks!
Am I locked in to anything? What's the minimum commitment?
