Stopped here during a Game of Thrones tour. The store has pretty much everything. Selection of snacks and drinks were plentiful. Bathroom facilities were located towards the back. read more

This shop is right at the top of my road, but there is another small supermarket on the way there…read morefor me so I only call in here if the other store doesn't have what I need or I happen to be driving past this Spar. That is not to say that the selection and service in here is in anyway not top drawer. Well, top drawer is maybe a bit of a stretch. The store is always clean and tidy, the staff are always friendly and helpful and you can usually find everything you need in here if you are popping in for a pint or milk or a loaf of bread. There is good parking here and an ATM which is always handy. It is also in a good location, with excellent access to the Belfast and Newtownards roads. There is certainly no real reason not to call in here. You won't be able to do a full weeks shop in here, you will need to go to Tesco or whatever for that but you certainly will be able to get plenty of what you need in this wee shop.

This wee convenience store has it all and serves local office workers to perfection. Whether you're looking for a pastry of a paper Today's Express will stock it. Food wise you can also get sandwiches and other breakfast goods. A bacon bap is only £1.20. The staff are great, you always get a wee bit of early morning banter out of them to kick start your day. An awesome wee shop with absolutely no faults - centrally located and serving food from £1 - what's not to like?

They had a huge variety of prepared sandwiches for a quick bite, soda and bottles of liquor for a wee sip. Hot cups of coffee, lattes and tea on tap from a clean vending area all day. And snacks galore! Any junk food you had a taste for, and new ones to try, you could get it here. The store is bright and the aisle were wide. They didn't have my favorite Volcanic Unflavored Water here, but they had many other items to try.

It is definitely king of convenience offering a full deli, a new Mexican burrito counter (Called Spice - Inventive), baked good, snacks, drinks and a wall of sandwiches and salads. Be aware - at lunchtime you can expect to queue here for 10 minutes for the deli and for the normal checkouts. There's an ATM on site and they take card at the cash register so don't worry if your pockets aren't jingling. There's a nice wee seated area out the front but it's not enclosed so I wouldn't be eating your lunch here - perfect for a smoke break and a snack.

This express store offers liquors, snack cakes and sundry. Locals shop here, but to an American it would probably seem small for a supermarket. The lines aren't too long, and I run in for the odd pack of gum or sweets. The prices are competitive, and they offer teas and coffee vended drinks.

Although the prices are the same as their bigger versions, the selection is poor. Even though this is supposed to be the 'essentials', the shelves are often empty and the security man at the door makes you feel like you are shoplifting even though you aren't. Chances are what you want isn't in this shop. It's a mish mash of bits and pieces, but it simply isn't good enough. I'd recommend walking a little further, or driving on down to the Lisburn Road shop and get what you need from there. Disappointing and painfully small
Love that Tesco are labelling which of their wines are Vegetarian...PS the Gavi's awesome!

I used to use it a lot when I was a student as I would walk here on my way to get the bus back to Derry and pick up the Derry journal so I could catch up on all the happenings before I hit the motherland. It sells all the usual stuff but the prices are slightly hiked up because of its location and I guess just because it can with all the passing trade and the business men and women nipping out for coffee, chocolate, papers and snacks. I don't care that it is a tiny bit more expensive, its convenient on the walk to town, friendly and it has a good feeling about it.

Clean restrooms and then lots of options for snacks and drinks to go, but I got a sandwich out of the cooler and a bottle of sparkling water. And rather than eat in the car, I opted to sit. They have a small dining area with power outlets and there's a wifi. Pretty slick! In addition to the individual portions, they also have some housewares including a package of tea with 400+ teabags in it. Who buys that much tea? This is also a petrol station and I have no idea if the price is great or not. I wasn't ready yet to fuel up the rental car. Staff was friendly and attentive, busily stocking and serving from the hot food bar. [Review 1862 of 2024 - 848 in United Kingdom - 22884 overall]
