This place is getting five stars because it is one of the few shops open 24 Hours within walking distance of my chiswick abode.

The guys who work here are always alert despite the trials of long hours and various drunk punters with a variety of attitude problems.

It is nice to be able to get an emergency pint of milk and a loaf of bread at any hour of the day.
Prices are actually a lot better than some of the other bigger local convenience stores but variety of stock is not great.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!This place is getting five stars because it is one of the few shops open 24 Hours within walking distance of my chiswick abode.

'Best One' seem to have a very unusual policy on pricing.

There are no labels on items so they make it up as they go along. I am not entirely sure this is legal.

On occasion for FOUR items I saw the man on the till ring up FIVE prices includig a "15p" invisible bonus for himself.

When asked for a reciept he quickly keyed in 4 random numbers to get the same amount and handed me that.

A futher time he rang the items up and when I handed him the amount said he had keyed it in wrong and wanted more money.
That was the last time I ever used this "convenience" store. That was 2008.

Don't take my word for it - go in and see if the crooked liars are still trying it on.'Best One' seem to have a very unusual policy on pricing.

Really good hot chocolate, quite a small shop but it will seat 6 comfortably. Their Christmas Hamper looks totally divine!

Adamou is a local institution. It's good not only for fresh vegetables and olives but also Greek and Middle Eastern ingredients. It's also really good for fresh herbs such as coriander and parsley at a fraction of supermarket prices.Adamou is a local institution.

Covent Garden Fishmongers has a great selection of fresh and frozen fish. They are always happy to recommend an alternative if they don't have what you are looking for and will do as much preparation as you want them to.

It's always a pleasure to shop at Mackens. Rodney and the boys clearly enjoy their work and the quality on offer is excellent.

The queues at Christmas have to be seen to be believed, but keep it to yourself, they do deliver.It's always a pleasure to shop at Mackens. Rodney and the boys clearly enjoy their work and the quality on offer is excellent.
