Opposite the shop they have another that sells in bulk, so if you want to make a batch of something, you can buy by the crate. Negotiating Stanhope Street is interesting because of this. Watch out for the fork lift in the middle of the road unloading wagons, and people crossing back and forth without looking. A cyclist takes their life in their hands!

Not pre-packed, but fresh from the quayside. Fine fish is just the start though.... There is an amazing selection of fresh fruit and veg. It's perfect for all the seasonal and local produce anyone could want. It is convenient for lots of all the basics, like milk, cheeses, eggs, drinks and store cupboard foods tins and packets. Then the are the 'special extras'. The best kind of lucky dip is available for the taking - Quirky, different, unusual foods sit alongside some of the usual premium brands. Maybe they are sometimes classed a seconds, but hey hey, it all tastes the same whether it has the flashy packaging or not! I for one would rather have the extra £pounds in my pocket than squashed down cardboard in my recycling bin Homemade sandwiches, salads, hot drinks and even complete hot meals are also available. There's a full roast dinner on Sundays too. Outside catering completes the package! The menus are all really affordable and makes for great parties and celebrations. This place is definitely worth a visit

There is a little cafe area and he does very nice coffee. Its a bit of an odd location at the top of the hill where the bike shops are, but there are plenty of newer ethnic shops so why not this? I'll be in again. The room temp fondue cheese was awesome!

A review of two halves! First - and only 1 star - For many…read moreyears I bought, and loved, the packets of 4 Fenwicks cheese scones. But yesterday I got some for the first time in a long while and they were really not very nice - tasteless and dry. No go! But second - and this is the 5 star half - the rest of the foodhall. The cakes we had were really yummy! And the special breads and biscuits were very tasty. The deli counter in the middle of the dept is anenormous array of everything from pies, pastries, salads, meats and cheeses, to more unusual savouries and even prepared dishes ready to be portioned out however you want. There are of course, all the usual grocery items which sit alongside a wonderful selection of speciality and interesting foods, all very tempting! Juicy fruit, veggie veg both allow for the indulgance elsewhere and the choccies just finish it all off very nicely. Therefore on balance - 3 stars!

I was home alone one week and I thought I would try getting my fruit, veg & eggs delivered (from C…read more& M Greengrocers). I rang them up, made an order & arranged a delivery time and that was it. First of all the fruit and veg were huge, much bigger and fresher than the supermarket. Everything was delivered on-time and they had even went down to the market that morning and picked up the specific type of mushrooms I had enquired about (which they didn't sell). It is the little things like that which really makes the difference, I can't recommend Marc highly enough. We use them regularly now, it saves me and my girlfriend 20 minutes a week (shopping) and also because we live fairly local, we get free delivery too.
