Open every day until 11pm, it offers all one needs just a few minutes away from the Bounds Green tube station. It has dairy products, fresh vegetables, household items and much more.

It is also located directly on the 221 bus route, giving it easy access to both Bounds Green and Wood Green as well as the surrounding areas.

Simply amazing. I can't rave about this stores recent makeover enough.

Literally. The renovations were undertaken without closing the store and whilst I admit I did stop shopping here while they were being carried out, I returned, opening day, with a fist full of vouchers to entice me back. You now have to queue to get in the car park. But...it's worth it and they now have car park assistants who direct you to spaces (layout has changed in the car park and disabled bays are now near the main doors). Outside is the same except for the swanky new Giraffe restaurant we are lucky to have in Watford now... But that deserves its own review later! Inside. Customer services is in same place, bit small and under staffed for a super store perhaps. There's a new 'scan and shop' section which I still need to try but I see a lot if peeps are using it. Food to go area is fab. Think salad bar to help yourself, loads if sarnies to chose from and pre packed salad and sushi goodies. Also it's a good section to nip to if picnicking. Plus there's self serve tills for this section alone so it's super convenient. The new bakery. Wowsers. So middle class and rustic. I lurve. Wooden table a la farm house laden with baked goods and hearty loaves. Also a counter with lots of posh desserts (quite pricey) and cakes. It's quite hard to grasp this is now where all bread and cakes are though. But it's early days. The toilet is in this section. No sign though. Annoying. And only one in whole hench store which is disappointing. Harris and Hoole. Love the look. Great lattes. Will sample food am sure. Always busy and not keen on the buzzers they give you to wait for coffee. Bit ott. But there's a coffee cart directly outside store so I usually grab one there as less busy. Florence and Fred. Happy days. This section looks amazing. Trolleys are able to mooch the aisles and it really feels like a proper clothes store, better fixtures and layout/feel than Marks or Next. And stock is great, fab designs and cheap as chips. I always come away with something. Fitting rooms are spacious too. Rest of store super laid out. New pizza counter (still not a patch on Asda's counter pizzas though- listen up Mr Tesco!). Fruit and veg section is epic, so spacious and easier to navigate than before. Make up and health sections look great as does home wears. Proper department store vibes. Loving. Dangerous for my bank balance. Opticians and pharmacy both helpful and knowledgable. Tills are still bit queuey but lots of people are checking out the store so busier than usual I think. Defo worth a visit. You can spend a whole day in here which I guess is the point as it has a destination shopping feel now. They even do yoga and kids classes here. Massive thumbs up!!

There are some fairly glaring gaps in the produce on offer (where the feck is the spinach?!), but overall there's a pretty good selection including an in-store bakery, fruit and veg, dairy, alcohol, and a small home supplies section. The store is reasonably well laid-out, although it gets particularly crammed at busier times (i.e. 6-8pm on weekdays). That said, I've never had a long wait at the checkouts. The convenience of this store has made it my new go-to, and I'm pretty sure it'll stay that way for a while.

It is quite a busy shop as it is on a housing estate and the main supermarket is quite a way from there. There is a good selection of cold meat, cheese and ready meals.

There is also a post office inside the shop which is well run and can be busy but the staff are good and deal with customers very quickly. This is a good shop which is a bit dearer than a normal Tescos but is it easy to get to and convenient.

Most recently, I ran into Cannon & Cannon at the Real Food Market at King's Cross. Last week, I was picking up some bread to eat with lunch at the stall next door, when the friendly man selling Cannon & Cannon sausage informed me that my sourdough baguette would really benefit from some of his delicious charcuterie....as it turns out, he was right. He let us sample 6 or 7 different types of stick sausage on offer. They were all really delicious and represented a great variety of flavors and textures. The stand outs were a pork sausage made with blood, red wine and chocolate (i'm not usually a fan of sweet/savoury, but the bitterness of dark chocolate really adds a lot to this rich sausage that is SO GOOD with eggs). My personal favorite was the lamb merguez which was spicy and bright with lemon peel and chili--I cooked it into a super tasty tomato and white bean soup. I stopped back today and picked up a duck/pork sausage with sichuan peppercorn that I am SO excited to try. These sausages are a tad costly (3 for £11), but I was clearly happy to pay up! Definitely worth a shout (if only just to taste the million different varieties).

However, on a Sunday when the other shops have closed and you urgently need one of those basic food items this place does do the job.

I can imagine this does well for residents who can just pop across to the shop or people coming off the M40 in dire need of a break.
