Up till recently a hard ware store it's now reopened as a Mace open from 7am till late selling all…read morethe basics, papers and alcohol. It is a bit overpriced, but sometimes it's worth paying that little extra when you just can't be bothered to make the trip to the local supermarket and there are offers on at times. Very clean and well lit with very polite owners who always greet you with hello as soon as you walk in the shop. My only slight annoyance is the number of teens that hang around in the evening. They don't actually do anything, but It is quite intimidating, but I guess that isn't the shop owners fault and they usually go home eventually.

Needless to say - two thumbs up! Sadly I just wish there was one closer to home!

Wierdly good services. The food is really good Toilets clean…read moreparking good Fuel station sells fuel what's not to like?
