Fruit & Veg does not come better than this! FRESH everyday…read morefrom the market and not pre packed, you can choose your own from the huge selection Matthew provides daily with a smile. I have never tasted apples like the ones this local independent and trust worthy shop has to offer, and there is always locally grown seasonal produce. Matthew always makes the effort to find fresh produce that has been grown within 50 miles of his shop and labels them for all his customers to see. An added bonus is if there is something particular you are after, all you have to do is ask and the next day you have the best quality of it! There is a free delivery service if you cant carry your 10lb of spuds and carrots etc home with you or if you cant get to the shop at all which is fab for the older generation. Also THE BEST place for Christmas trees! Always service with a smile :)

I've been on a mission to discover more of north Manchester recently. Cheetham Hill is one of the…read morereas which holds a lot of interest for me as a foodie with Cheetham hill road being a great example of multi-cultural Manchester. As well as being another central hub of Manchester's south Asian community it's also adjacent to Manchester's Jewish community. This Superstore sits inbetween the two communities and is buzzing with activity all week long. It's probably one of the biggest stores of its kind in the city. The summertime is a perfect time to visit, for me at least because it's mango season! Honey mangos are shipped in all the way from Pakistan and are priced very reasonably considering they are HEAVENLY! There's also a butchers in house and the store houses a library of herbs and spices. In short there are stores like this littered aross the city in smaller denominations. And in all honesty they probably cater for all the things that are available here. But if you want that remote spice from a youtube recipe or want a faluda flavour ice cream like I do, this is the only place to go.

Wow, no review for the largest branch of Manchester Superstore - says a lot about the current…read moredemographic of Yelp reviewers in Manchester! There are actually two large premises of Manchester Superstore directly opposite each other on either side of Cheetham Hill Road, and if you are into these kind of stores then you will need to check them both out! It may be the case that the one on the left as you travel out of town is more for a quick shop, but it also has a bunch of stuff upstairs - cookware, and kebab shop consumables! Across the road - on the right hand side of the road as you travel out of town - is a building of impressive architecture, which seems to be the wholesale premises, although it is open to the general public, no problem, and this is where I will be shopping from now on. I go for fresh produce, and freshness was above average plus I think Cheetham Hill prices are a bit lower. Just the usual routine for me - stocked up with okra, drumstick, karela, fresh chickpeas, plus fresh herbs which are the bargain of the century at 2 huge bunches for £1. Always good for a bit of ethnic atmosphere. Not quite as much of a feeling of a well-oiled machine as say Worldwide in Rusholme and not as busy at the tills, but the manager is a bit more friendly here on my visit, and opened up another till to get me through quickly. Really love my Desi supermarkets!

I am extremely disappointed with this store and their chosen parking management service, UKPS Ltd…read more I received an unfair parking charge despite being a customer at Wing Yip supermarket and upstairs Chinese Restaurant, and the notice was even sent to the wrong address, causing delays and preventing me from responding within the appeal period. When I submitted an appeal, UKPS completely ignored it, only for me to later receive a notice from a debt collection agency, adding even more stress. For those who want to visit this restaurant, be careful and reconsider, cause you will RECEIVE A PARKING CHARGE that cause you 100 POUNDS for parking even you had a meal and shopping there!!!

TL;DR - A super supermarket for those ingredients you might find hard to get elsewhere…read more I've intended to vist Wing Yip a few times - the building is enormous and dominates the road, but on a previous visit I was unable to find the entrance. Turns out you have to go round the back (it's signposted for the restaurant, but the supermarket is here too). First up - social distancing, since it is 2020 after all. This is all handled really well - lots of signs about wearing face masks, antibacterial gel as you enter, marks on the floor for 2m distancing and screens around the checkouts; payments can be contactless; staff wear masks and gloves and even pass you your receipt in a plastic box. I'd say they're doing a better job than most shops full stop. OK, on to the produce - as you might expect you can get lots of ingredients for Chinese cooking here but there's so much more as well, with most east-Asian cuisines catered for from Vietnam to Japan. There's also a substantial amount of fresh meat and veg available, plus chiller and freezer cabinets as well as your store-cupboard staples. There are also appliances and things like crockery for sale. If you're running a business, there's a substantial cash and carry section at the far right of the store. Manchester has a few specialist supermarkets like this, but I think Wing Yip wins in terms of breadth of offering.

Good variety of meat at reasonable prices. Was hoping to find some offal, alas not much on offer…read more Probably not much demand in this day and age. Bought some Welsh lamb chops and a couple of small black pudding rings. The sausages looked a bit tired, the British beef selection looked appealing.

The High St…read moreMeat Market is decked out in red and is two or three times the size of a normal butchers shop. There's so much meat here! Also, weirdly, loads of eggs. Back to the meat. If you'd like something a bit better than those tired bits of packaged meat you buy in your local supermarket, then this butchers is a good place to start. Alongside your normal buys like chicken breast and sausages you can also get Welsh lamb chops and Scotch beef fillet. And the eggs. Six free range eggs for 99p. Good times.

Why do that when you can come to somewhere like the Vietnamese Mini Mart and buy lots of authentic ingredients to make something that's at least heading in the direction of being like the real thing. Vietnamese Mini Mart sells a wide range of sauces, noodles and many other Vietnamese things which I simply do not understand. They have freezers stocked with fish and a few vegetables as well. The ladies behind the counter are always friendly and usually giggling and laughing with each other which adds a nice, relaxed feel to the place. Oh, and if you're a student/lazy cook they have a great deal of instant noodles here in all kinds of places for just 35p a pop.

Born from the genius and success of The Biospheric Project, 78 Steps is just around the corner…read more(well, 78 steps away) from the urban farming project which has taken Salford and Manchester by storm. The idea behind the shop is local food on a micro-scale, bringing the community in the area locally grown, ethically sourced and high quality produce. Stocking fresh fruit, veg & eggs from local farms, bread from the Barbakan deli in Chortlon and eco-friendly cupboard fillers from companies like Suma and Ecover, 78 Steps has a great range of British products, championing fresh local items and seasonal produce. As well at the shop itself, 78 Steps offer a Wholebox service, delivering fresh food to local people on a regular basis. Boxes start at as little as £5 and contain at least eight varieties of fruit and vegetables, making healthy eating cheap and accessible. Some of the fruits and vegetables have been grown at the Biospheric Project itself - just 78 steps away - making this a truly carbon efficient enterprise.
