They try but to make themselves as attractive as possible with deals and convenience but to be honest there isn't that much competition on this side of town. There's two Tesco stores within about a mile radius of this shop but that's all I can think of. We decided to visit Asda on Monday evening for a wee change from the norm and I have to say I was impressed, well as impressed as you can be with a supermarket. Ok so what's different and why should you go! Well, as boring as it sounds there is good parking an ATM and it's easy to get to. Next up the choice. It seems like Asda has really stepped up it's game in terms of fresh fruit and veg and meat. They have outsourced their butchers counter here to McGee's, a local brand and they provide fresh cuts of meat for decent prices. It's kind of like a throwback to the bygone days where people would shop local - suppose this is the closest we can get in a supermarket. Few other points to make, they sell booze and often have good deals on. There's also an electronics and clothing section selling all the usual suspects. All in all a good store - I don't think I have ever said I am a fan of a supermarket before but on this occasion I am!

As supermarkets go this one frustrates me, I used to find what I was looking for with ease but…read moresince they revamped the store it seems less well organised and aisles are narrower than before sometimes making it difficult to get around with a trolley when people stop to browse. I used to shop here frequently but have found myself less inclined to call in since the changes.

It was only then that I realised it was actually quite good. Fruit and veg arrives daily with nice additions like papaya, watermelons, kumquats and persimmons. The little bakery has fresh baked bread made on site along with pastries, buns, donuts, cookies and scones. All really well priced. There is a big selection of regular bagged breads, pancakes and wraps etc. Also gluten free ranges of bread, rolls and rice/corn cakes. Irish, grass fed beef is pretty good. Reasonably big range of fresh meat and already cooked. The beef pastrami is very good! The constant rotation of different county produce each month is a great addition. Things like lovely Greek yogurt, olives, spreads and very good pittas from Greece, baklava, hummus and beans from Turkey or flavoured oils, vinegars and cured meats from Spain. The have 10 pack of Belgium caramel waffles at £1.50 that taste exactly like Starbucks 2 pack that cost about 62 quid There is a forever changing middle section with homeware, kitchenware, gardening, tools, school stuff and fitness etc. The alcohol section has some super cheap beer and cider deals. Most of the spirits are cheaper brands(the ones that give killer hangovers) Some things to avoid: The herbs/spices, they are pretty wick apart from the white pepper. Baresa olives! The black ones are awful. Dentalux toothpaste. The staff are mostly friendly.

Great little corner shop, one of a dying breed which I think is so sad. Outside the shop stands an old grocers cart full of the days best produce. It sells the likes of fruit, veg, milk, juice, crisps, pet food, herbs, flowers, fire sticks etc. The staff are friendly and helpful, they know all the regulars by name and it's obvious they enjoy their days work.

Today I popped in for a few bits and pieces and this store is great in terms of convenience. Just off the motorway it offers a wealth of parking.

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
