The Brighton road branch of Waitrose shares all the great things about this upmarket supermarket…read morechain. Its conveniently located in a prominent part of Brighton Road, and theres ample parking nearby which ive never found to be full. The shop is very welcoming, with highly trained and approachable staff who wont just tell you where something youre looking for is, but will actively take you to the relevant aisle. The range of everyday and luxery goods here is really excellent. Ok, prices are quite a lot higher on many items than you might pay in Tescos, yet with their range of monthly special offers they do manage to compete pretty well on lots of staples. Service in this store is particularly good, and id wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for calm and hassle-free shopping!

It has the smallest cafe in the world - three tables, but unbelievably good cumberland sausages in a roll! Their coffee is fab, and they serve skimmed milk (yey!)

Buckle up boys and girls because this little market is going to take you for a ridiculous journey…read moredown the craft beer rabbit hole. Freshfields Market is a small easily overlooked corner shop that looks like it's only used during those times in desperation (i.e., when all the other shops are closed and you NEED an obscure herb.) WRONG. Freshfields Market has an ASTONISHING array of local and international craft beers. Seriously, there is a whole freaking WALL devoted to the fine art of artisanal brews. From the well known craft breweries like Thornbridge to the distinctly local like Cronx, Freshfields has a dizzying selection of beers that would make even the most casual of drinkers tingle with excitement. Every time my husband and I visit we stand in front of the shelves like the proverbial kids in a candy shop unable to make a decision on which of the beers to try. It is no secret that I enjoy my beer. I brew it, I'm looking for a career in it... and this, man... this shop makes me feel like a child. It makes me excited to be a part of a growing demographic of young professionals who are looking to push the boundaries of brewing. Moreover, makes me excited as a consumer to see what was once a dwindling selection of ales suddenly explode into an interest in the "traditional" beer of England. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the selection Freshfields have got your back. They've hired a seasoned-drinker and well-educated staff member to help you pick out the perfect beer for your palate. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. They not only carry bottled beer but also they have the option of purchasing four pint carry outs that are tapped from two barrels so you get your beer straight from the barrel and not bottle conditioned. As far as the prices go, they're about the price you would expect to pay for craft beer - which is to say not that cheap. However, the last two times I have gone they have done a deal on craft beers - something like 6 craft beers for £12, I can't remember. Either way, this little corner shop may seem to be like any other but don't let the outside fool you, inside it is Croydon's very own craft beer Valhalla and if it suits you, I would go on a pilgrimage as soon as possible.
