A funny little convenience store, very dark inside. Unlike many convenience stores which add and…read moreextra 3 pounds on the bottle for the convenience, the wine here is pretty good value. It sells some sandwiches and convenience food at the back of the store, has some basics and a freezer with things like pizza's and an ice-cream freezer. Unlike many small convenience stores, the ice-cream doesn't look like it has melted and frozen about 3 times before you've bought it. It also sells milka chocolate - hurrah! The staff here are very friendly, although I'm afraid I can never understand what the young guy is saying to me.

The penny sweet selection here is pretty extensive too, for those of you who suffer from sweet tooth syndrome like myself. This shop possesses a lovely old fashioned quality to it, and will probably bring back childhood memories of trips to the sweet shop with your mates after school. That unique smell of newspapers and sweets pervades the store, and may well cause you to linger here for a while...

It's a life saver, and always nice to grab a few goods too. From milk, biscuits, tea bags, magazines, alcohol, toilet paper, dairy - you name it! It's a pretty big shop with multiple isles and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Slightly better than a newsagents as McColls also serves as an off liscence. I think I share a bond with these stores, as my local one in Temple Meads seems to provide me with all those last minute items.

The shop also sells a range of food, including fruit and vegetables (not of the greatest quality), and has a mini bakery section boasting croissants and the like.

Boasting a fantastic selection of goods, from fresh fruit and vegetables, to a beautiful spread of flowers, both potted and arranged in bouquets, the shop's local quality must be a reassuring asset to older folk in the area. Brett's also stocks a range of grocery products and cooked meats, and even cosmetics such as henna. So if you're a community minded soul and happen to be in the area, make your good deed for the day a trip to Brett's ;)
