This is one of the only proper supermarkets in the local area ,there are plenty of tesco metros and icelands but no big shops.
The quality is much better than tesco as is the choice but this shop is a complete nightmare to get back from if you dont drive as instead of a local cab firm you have the black cabs out the front.
there is always massive ques in this store and god help you if you try to shop here any time in december as its just crazy busy,
plenty of local buses if you dont need a lot and is idealy located for the local cinema for when you cant or wont pay there crazy rip off prices.This is one of the only proper supermarkets in the local area ,there are plenty of tesco metros and icelands but no big shops.

This is one of the gems of this end of Cally Road - the most amazing cheeses, incredible tinned tuna (Delicioso brand... nothing else will do once you've tried it), pastas and sauces. Well worth a regular visit to stock up on gourmet pantry essentials.

The elderly couple who run it have managed to preserve a sense of community with their customers, so be ready to wait a few minutes while family news is shared, and practice your Italian phrases when you can.

An early morning favourite on the weekend for my croissant and coffee with my Saturday paper - beautiful food, plenty of tables and reasonable prices. There is a second outlet in the charming Chapel Market, but the Upper Street store is friendly and warm, and a relaxed way to start the weekend, with friends and family, or in a table alone.An early morning favourite on the weekend for my croissant and coffee with my Saturday paper - beautiful food, plenty of tables and reasonable prices.
