    This is an usual review, as I only bought a single banana from this shop. However, I felt compelled to write a review because it was the best service I have had in a shop ever and I guess that is what TrustedPlaces is all about.

    The shop itself is a wonderful throwback to a bygone era, a bit like stepping into 1970's film set. Charmingly old fashioned and the lady (proprietor I suspect but I wasn't sociable enough to ask) behind the till was unfeasibly friendly.

    My banana was absurdly good value, served with a captivating smile and a painstakingly found napkin. What more could I ask for?

    Sadly this shop is not a local for me but if you are local it then I suggest you try it out and hopefully find it the same as I did. This shop needs support as it is a dying breed.

    We will make a point of finding this little shop in the near future - if only to recognise human qualities and service that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Well spotted Hugo.
