The patrons are always friendly, and helpful. The shop provides groceries of English, Indian, East Euro, Turkish quite a mix, and getting a tin of Chickpea Chana Masala, to eat with rice or some naan...just lush. The store is like stepping into Dr Who's Tardis :-)

Like the Sweet Mart in Easton this is a store that is all about the customer. They buy in only the best quality fruit and vegetables, for example, and sell it at reasonable and affordable prices. It's all organic and locally sourced where possible - stocked full of love and good energy. The Asian food section is immense with every type of spice and raw bean imaginable. It's a good place too to find adverts and posters for local and ethical happenings. A great store that comes highly recommended.

In this supermarket-hating age (or at least it should be) it's nice to be able to go to such a…read moregrand market and not be bombarded with pictures of Jamie Oliver with your school children, points schemes and other such ideas that slowly inject these big brand names into your everyday lives. At Aldi it's a simple turn up, get your food and leave sort of deal - and I'm rather fond of it. I'm also rather fond of the European chocolate selection or the bizarre sweets that I assume never leave your digestive system. I'm equally fascinated by the many jars of pickles - shaking them around and wondering what vegetable they've pickled today. The fresh fruit and veg section, admittedly, is something to be avoided but they also sell clothes! Cheap tacky clothes, but clothes none the less. Thus many many reasons to visit this humble supermarket.

This Aldi is pretty amazing. As well as the usual food stuffs you find in other supermarkets, at…read morethe middle of the shop there are a few huge baskets containing all sorts of bits and pieces. I have no idea how they manage it, but they always seem to have exactly what's needed on any given day. For instance, when the snow started falling, I ventured into Aldi to find a pair of snow boots and a ski jacket! Perfect. If it's raining you're bound to find a load of umbrellas and raincoats and if it's sunny there will no doubt be stacks of flip-flops and sunglasses awaiting you. It's truly ingenious. Apart from the weather related apparel, they also have some really random stuff in here, so if you're on the look out for a travel pillow, boiler suit, or badminton set, then it's worth checking out. You never know - you might get lucky.

I'm a big fan of the Co-op food stores, and as they go this one is OK. It has the post office in…read morethe back room (see separate entry for that). They have a good bakery section - especially the croissants and rolls - which is delivered every morning. They have a fair range of fruit and veg (not packaged either, good eco points). They have the basics for the rest of the groceries - my only sticking point is that their baking section is a bit titchy and since the Co-op in Staple Hill has changed to a Tesco (but Co-op is technically next door with a Somerfield, keep up at the back) my baking needs are now having to be fulfilled all the way at the bottom of Fishponds in none other than Morrisons! Anyway, open really late even on a Sunday, got a good range of items, sometimes the tills are a little slow but I think it is just because they are understaffed. Oh I should mention the staff - at the weekend almost entirely run by emos. Fantastic. And they are ever so polite.

The staff in the shop are so friendly and helpful it's always a pleasure being served there, always inviting a chat about how your day's been and helping if you can't find something. I've seen them help older customers a number of times carry their groceries out of the shop as well if they've got a heavy load. Good service goes a long way in my opinion and I can't stand rudeness in supermarkets. It's very unlikely you'd find rudeness here, quite the opposite. Co-op Fishponds I solute you!
