I love a local grocer. Hughes is no exception - they had a really good selection of fruit and veg,…read morewhich all looked in very good nick. They also had other useful bits and bobs such as nuts and herbs, and 2 packets of Foxes chocolate biscuits for a mere £1! That was, of course, a special offer - I can't promise you that that is a permanent feature... I bought an enormous bag of Braeburn apples and a less enormous bag of nectarines, - plus my 2 packets of biscuits it all came to £3.58, which seemed very reasonable.

Hughes is a mini supermarket that mainly sells fresh fruit and vegetables. They also sell a few…read moreplain flowers. The only negative thing I have to say about Hughes is that the aisles are narrow and I soon discovered people have to walk down them in single file. If you want to go past somebody you'll have to shuffle or squeeze past them. I'm sure this invaded people's personal space, like it did mine. Birmingham has loads of shops like Hughes and many of the ones I've seen are quiet unclean and it's obvious the products have been left out for a while. Here though, there's probably fresher fruit and vegetable here than in the supermarket not to mention the prices are a lot better. As well as the normal prices being low, I was also pleased to see the amount of deals they had. Two boxes of strawberries can be picked up for £1.00 and a bunch of bananas for just under £1.00. So I think this shop is underrated.

A greengrocers and a garden centre, all crammed into a space normally occupied by a cornershop,…read morethis place is a bit of an oasis on the slightly run-down Stirchley High Street. Outside you'll find a great selection of shrubs, plants and vegetables to plant in your garden, and at extremely reasonable prices. I get the impression that most of the items for sale, and in particular the veg plants, have been grown by hand, either by the shop themselves or else by a trusted local nursery - the care and attention is evident in each plant, and these are clearly not the product of some anonymous uber-greenhouse knocking out bedding plants by the thousand. Inside the store is cool and welcoming and beautifully stocked with fresh, organic produce that is a treat for the eyes and nose. After visiting this place you'll think twice about selecting the somewhat tired looking veg on offer at the local supermarket - this is super-fresh stuff that looks and smells great. The staff are friendly and helpful and know their stuff, both about the plants and the produce. They are also pretty fair - if you select a plant that is the last one available and it looks a wee bit sorry for itself, they'll normally either knock something off the price, or else not charge you at all. Highly recommended!

I still can't work out if this place is useful or not. Granted the fruit and veg section must be…read morehandy for those in the neighbourhood but the rest of the shop can only be described as random. It's set out a bit like a pound store with certain items in large stocks. I spotted about 30 chocolate gateaux in unmarked packets for £1 each. And you can pick up multipacks of Haribo and branded chocolate, in fact most of the shop works on a multipack basis. Want to pretend you're in a greasy spoon when eating at home? Then these industrial size burger sauces will do the trick. On my way out I spotted some Chinese lanterns for sale. Strange.

There are more tins and bottles inside the store than there is fresh fruit and there are often items of stock on sale that have clearly been picked up cheaply in bulk at a cash and carry for a quick sale. That said, there is a small and fairly good selection of fresh produce out on display. They must find it quite hard to compete with the nearby Co-Op (2 or 3 doors down the road) but they nevertheless maintain a foothold on the Cotteridge map, so must be doing something right...I'm just not sure what it is!

Kings Heath farmers Market happens every first Saturday of the month between Kings Heath High…read moreStreet and Vicarage Road. During the development of the village square, the market had to move further down Vicarage road, but has since relocated to the quite eccentric updated space, which see's random fountains of water and grave stones sunken into pathways. It's quite a surreal experience, and I don't suggest walking through the space while drunk. The area becomes even more bizarre when taken over by the farmers market, as stalls are placed in between these randomly sunken stones. It reminds me of some sort parallel Kings Heath, where everything is melting in the village square, but the people just act as though it is a normality and set up a market over the space. Anyway, the local food sold here is of high quality, and many of the Moseley Farmers Market stall holders also set up here. Meaning that if you miss the Moseley market, you can always catch them at the Kings Heath one. There are also some different stalls who sell better jams than Moseley, in my opinion, so I always buy jam from Kings Heath market instead. Prices of products aren't necessarily cheap, but you certainly get your value for money, as the flavour of the food (especially the jam) is top notch.

I heard about this lovely market from a friend of mine who lives in the area. As a good street…read moremarket it's always an option of an enjoyable day out on a weekend, my husband, his auntie and I decided to go to Kings Heath and check it out. It was a delicious surprise, literally, because with all food stalls available it was almost a truly gastronomic experience. I regret having breakfast because empty belly in this place can be a very good starting. I just loved the farming made products available there. It's almost like going back to the deep south of Brazil or some countryside cities where farm culture is preserved and you always have the possibility of visiting farms and eat their delicious food. I heard about these farmer markets in Birmingham areas before but it's just unbelievable the variety of cakes, baked breads, handmade cheese and other fresh and pretty healthy products available in these places. If you fancy organic products, there are good source of vegetables and fruit to choose as well. The plants, flowers and other memorabilia are also a charming complement to these markets and people working on it are usually very gentle. I like the fact it's held on Saturdays (first of each month) because it makes things very easy for who works during week and just have time to catch up with it during the weekends. I am glad I made Kings Heath Farmers market. In Brazil we have some similar street markets ( with the difference that we sell almost everything ) and it's always good to find such a lovely experience like this here as well.

NEVER EVER GOING THERE AGAIN. AVOID THESE FAKESTERS. MEDINA SUPERSTORE, MAS BAZAR and even BANGLa STATION with its high prices is better than Paks supermarket lozells road, atleast in Bangl station you gonna get fresh produce at the weight it's supposed to be at even if they charge extra but at PaKsSupermarket Lozells not only they charge you but the hive you produce which is gone bad and even from there they will steal a few pieces out. STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY. BTW have you guys seen the TikTok videos by PaKs lozells road, all comments are turned off. we wonder why. must be a reason. what have you got to hide. you don't want the word getting around that you guys are leeching off the local community. you disgraceful people.

Yes, they are one of the few supplement brands that I trust sufficiently. It is also good that their products are available in most (if not all) organic shops plus one can order them online if one wants. I did also like the fact that I could contact them for nutritional advice, though I won't any more because this week I fear that one of the technicians acted inappropriately towards me on a couple of occasions, which upset me a lot. I first became aware of Biocare because the leading author/nutritional therapist recommended Biocare in his books.
