They recently did the place up and expanded into the premises next door; now they have a shiny new deli and a comfy sit-down/cafe area. My only real issue with this place is that I have gone in there a number of times looking for something only to find that they have run out or just don't stock it. For example. they sell hotdogs but they don't stock hotdog buns at all.

Their deli is very impressive, their wraps, sandwiches, salads are very fresh and good value. They also make fresh pizzas, but I haven't tried them yet. They have an ATM at the back of the store, but this is often out of service, but there is an outdoor ATM just up the road a little (a minute's walk or less). They've got groceries, off-license, newspapers/magazines, lottery, almost anything you could want, but I wouldn't do a full weekly shop here! They are open 24 hours, which adds a star for me!

Very good Polish beer 5,6% ~€2.60, where it normally costs €1.70. And that applied to all beers. Thankfully, they had sale on Heineken (3,8%) 6 cans for €8. If not that, I'd have walked to next shop don't matter how far. I actually remembered my good acquaintance's words - spar is for rich people, buddy. I'm not rich enough :( Even it's a standard, but they also have ATM inside.

Where we come from, if you absolutely need some Doritos in the middle of the night, that is no problem. Here, it is a lamentable fact that it is hard to find a convenience store that is open past, say 11 PM. That is, until I found this little gem. Sure, the selection isn't spectacular, but they have what we needed - snacky stuff. I was satisfied with my selection, though I wish it were cheap. I couldn't buy an armload of junk food like I would have liked, but that was probably for the best.

I…read morehad gone in with the idea of ordering a latte but I saw their adds for Autumn themed hot chocolates and the raspberry and honey one grabbed my eye. I really enjoyed it! So it's a hot chocolate with a "shot" of honey served in a large white mug with cold cream on top and dried raspberry's sprinkled on top with a few flakes of chocolate. It really looks the part. So its an odd experience taking the first sip as your lips are dipped in the very cold whipped cream and the dried raspberry's sit under your noise so it is all you can smell and when you drink you get the heat and taste of the honey sweetened hot chocolate. So it's a real miss match of temperatures and tastes which is odd at first but it works. After drinking about a quarter I decided to mix all the cream and berry's into drink which again was nice as the raspberry's swell up in the chocolate and float to the top. Anyway it may not be everyone's cup of tea or cup of hot chocolate as the case might be but I liked it and would recommend you at least try it once. Yummy!!

As a shop it's not a whole lot different to any other Spar. In other words, it's overpriced, especially when it comes to sandwiches and rolls. You could pay nearly a fiver for a BLT, which is robbery in my opinion. That said, this store is really, really handy because it's open constantly. When it's all hours of the morning and you are starving but don't want chippy food, it's a great place to pop into to stock up. But I wouldn't tend to frequent it much otherwise because it's too dear and there is a Tesco nearby that is a whole lot cheaper. The take away coffee here isn't nice either. The staff are great though - helpful and friendly, even when dealing with intoxicated punters!

Hey, it's a recession. The groundfloor deli is far superior to Subway on the first floor. Cheaper, tastier and probably healthier too(less sauces by my logic), they win all round. However it is a bit of a pain having to go up to the second floor if you want a seat with a non-subway meal. Then again, the second floor has nicer seats and a better view of Grafton so it's a much of a muchness really.

It is open on holidays and weekends which is a blessing because I needed food during one of their bank holidays when most places were closed. They have good sandwiches here that were made fresh.

Another bonus is a that they accept credit cards. If we stay by this area again I'd be happy to visit Chapter and Verse again as my go-to shop.
