London - Food & Drink - Fruit & Veg
What a fabulous shop! I only went in for a peep, soon found myself buying stuff, and wasn’t unhappy with the bill! Prices were much cheaper than the supermarket.
In many ways it’s a traditional fruit and veg shop. Great mounds and trays of stuff, from which you can choose as much or as little as you want. But the variety is wonderful. All the basics of course, but they also sell bunches of herbs (and trays of herb sprouts), just about any fruit or veg you could come up with, and probably some you hadn’t thought of too. I got some fresh dates, which I’ve never had before. I was able to buy just a few to try (which is good, as I found them OK but not wonderful!)
It’s also environmentally friendly. Very few items are pre-packed, and they encourage you to bring your own bag. They’ll sell you a biodegradable bag if you don’t have one. Of course much of the produce is organic too.
The position on the map is close but no gold star. Start at Newington Green itself , and walk along Newington Green Road on the side with the shops (opposite the flag in fact…) and you’ll find it.
