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.

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.

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.

This marvelous grocery store totally surprised me. We travelled by train on this last European…read moretrip, we went back and forth about whether we should drive or train or do a combination of both. We decided on going the train route totally. Driving on the left hand side is not something to choose easily....I have only done it once before in 1982 in Jamaica and it was fine because I was incredibly young and the roads were less travelled back then but it's hard to change. I know many accidents/ deaths that have happened because of this. Anyway we decided to do the train bit. When we arrived at the York train station we had some time to wait so Joe said " Go check out the Booths" I already knew this is a grocery store chain in England and had seen it before But I was blown away at this one and was surprised to find it at the Windermere train station. I spent a good 45 minutes in there and purchased many items for our next destination. Beautiful produce and it also had a whole bakery area and a area with pharmacy type items too. When Joe insisted I go honestly I was a bit annoyed like Why? Lol Great store! Best in town!

Booths by a wide margin is the largest and nicest grocery store in Windermere. Excellent selection…read moreof produce, international and British staples, and a massive wine and liquor section. I made several Thai dishes and Booths had all the necessary ingredients from fish sauce to palm sugar to dried kaffir lime leaves. Prices are much lower and the selection much larger than you'd find in London. Try £26 for a bottle of Veuve, and yes we bought a case for Christmas lunch! If you're self catering in the Lake District and are looking for quality well above your average Tesco Express, be sure to make the drive to Booths.

I was attracted to this shop by the large selection of flowers that lay outside it. The shop faces…read moreinto a small courtyard space, which was fully utilised by being filled with rows and rows of neatly laid out trays and pots of flowers and herbs, on the ground. A few were lined up on the two tables outside of the shop. It was a beautiful day and with the lovely colours of the flowers, it put me a thoroughly good mood. It wasn't until I went into the shop to buy one of these pots that I realised in the seasonal absence of flowers this was a traditional green grocers. With supermarkets buying up every available space its not so common to see a shop selling just fruit and vegetables these days. Although there were a few eggs and bottles of milk for sale also, sourced from a local farm, I noticed from the label. The inside of the store was a pleasing to the eye as the outside, with the large colourful array of foods spread out neatly.
