I have never tasted apples like the ones this local independent and trust worthy shop has to offer, and there is always locally grown seasonal produce. Matthew always makes the effort to find fresh produce that has been grown within 50 miles of his shop and labels them for all his customers to see. An added bonus is if there is something particular you are after, all you have to do is ask and the next day you have the best quality of it! There is a free delivery service if you cant carry your 10lb of spuds and carrots etc home with you or if you cant get to the shop at all which is fab for the older generation. Also THE BEST place for Christmas trees! Always service with a smile :)

I Love Grapevine. The fruit and vegetables are always so fresh and delicious. It's really quite a…read morelarge shop and sells more than the average fruit shop; there's a small range of cooking extras: sauces, oils and dressings, herbs, and fresh eggs, and a fantastic indoor and outdoor plant section, with cut flowers and bedding plants all available. There's always great offers on the fruit, Tuesday I bought a big strawberries for £1 and they were just divine! Great place, but it's a long way to walk back to the train station (or the car park) with heavy purchases.. I don't think home delivery is available.

The staff are very helpful, and efficient. Your produce can be delivered for a small charge. I always get my Christmas tree here, and they deliver that. If you want to give a fruit basket, this is where you should get it in Ulverston, the baskets themselves are nice.

Neil's is the largest of the greengrocers in the market, with an outurned corner stall. As a big…read morefan of greengrocers as a means of stocking up on fruit and veg for the week, I was most impressed with Neil's. Of all the greengrocers I have seen, I have never once comented on a beautiful display. Normally, it comes part and parcel of having a fruit and veg shop, and the produce is just stacked up, without having had much thought put into it. Neil's however is the exception. With carrots fanned out and everything looking perfect in its place, thought has evidentally gone int every inch of the stall, and quite frankly it is the most tempting fruit and veg stall I have ever seen! Fantastic. Prices are competitive, but not a patch on what you'd pay elsewhere.

One of the last corner fruit & veg shops left. Very wide selection of fresh, good looking produce,…read moreand an even wider selection of cereals, grains, sauces, dairy, teas and even an ecover refill station. Staffed by friendly & helpful folk, open 8 'till 8 (6 on Saturday, not open Sunday). Only drawback is that it's not the cheapest (and can sell out of date stuff so check the labels) but much better quality than your average supermarket. A brilliant place and jam packed with customers most of the time, always a good sign : )

They are a proper fruit and veg place with the stacks of goodies out front to lure you in and a huge array of produce inside under bright, but a nice glowing type lighting. They sell all kinds of English vegetables and fruits plus a few more exotic types to boost your vitamin C intake. I was really pleased to find it whilst walking through the cold, and feeling in need of some nutrients. I purchased a bag of about 15 apples for £1 and eyed up the flowers loads while I paid. I don't have anyone to buy flowers for, and by the time the lovely girl at the counter had processed my purchase I still hadn't justified buying flowers for myself and walked out. Silly girl. I should have done! They would have looked lovely in a nice vase. Next time I will. When I called up today to check their opening times I spoke to a very lovely guy with the thickest Leeds accent ever who said "Seven over five love" Lovely lovely lovely! If you are in that area and are in need of some yummy juicy goods, packed with nutrients and minerals then pop in for a chat and a bag of deliciousness. They are open every day!

It's good to see that there's still room for an old-fashioned greengrocers somewhere in Leeds. Over…read morethe past few years, I've noticed them disappear in other nearby suburbs such as Cookridge and Adel, but this one on Town Street has held its ground. It offers a pretty impressive selection of fresh fruit and veg, some of which is local, and all of which is more appealing than that which is on offer just up the road in Morrisons. It will probably cost you more per item than the supermarket, but for those people who like to feel, admire and choose their own groceries, this is a small price to pay.

Whilst the everyday groceries can be on the pricey side, you can find all sorts of hidden gems here, so it's a good place to look for that little something different. They have a good range of affordable wines, often bin ends and other good deals. They also have a great little deli counter, and do awesome home made sandwiches. They were the first shop in the village to have a donations pot for carrier bags in a bid to reduce the use of plastics. They sell their own canvas shopping bags, or you can bring your own, or use one of their empty cardboard boxes. The most recent addition is a National Lottery till.

The staff seemed as helpful as the Headingley lot, the prices were just as cheap and the stock just as wide ranging! What could be better than buying a decent bunch from the local fruit and veg shop, as opposed to the aforementioned supermarket, by Amy P? With red and green seedless grapes at 69p per lb, a sack of potatoes to feed the masses at £3.95, 8 clementines at 99p and even blooming duck eggs, for crying out loud, at 29p what could be more exciting and reasonably priced than R K Harris and the boys? I think my only option is going to be to check out if my local Headingley branch sells duck eggs, and start looking up some recipes. Yey!
