There are jams, preserves, soups and pastas. All though not very large they have a fairly good selection of foods. The staff and clientel are extremely friendly. If you like this kind of food, it's well worth a visit.

Lovely selection of local wines and interesting out of the ordinary ports and flavored gins right on the edge of Southampton. The ladies running the shop are knowledgeable warm and friendly.

We visited veranda for my partner's birthday…read more We were seated upstairs and offered drinks straight away. They arrived swiftly. There were 6 other tables which were spaced out but gave a cozy atmosphere. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the dishes and made some lovely recommendations. The food was brilliant and the flavours were spot on. Everyone had a great time and the waiters made the birthday guest feel special.

Right.... Straight to the point with a brief intro…read more. Was stopping in at the Marriot a few miles down the road in Shedfield and I asked the receptionist if she could advise on any GOOD Indian restaurants near by.. She suggested the Veranda in Wickam So as I arrived, it appeared nice, looked good from outside and inside was ok, friendly staff etc, all the usual to expect when someone is charging you a buck. So here to the nibbly bits, the stuff we crave for, GOOD Quality food with flavours pouring out that make you want to lick your lips a hundred times, before and after the meal. So my orders, Sheik Kebab - Tasteless all I could taste was Gee Yuck.. Who uses gee in kebabs? Chicken Jalfrazy - Probably the worse in flavour and taste iv ever had... once again, over whelming stench of gee, who uses gee in a chicken Jalfrazy Mutter Paneer... Probably then worse "looking" iv ever seen, had to send it back as they put in cheddar instead of paneer... the chef probably didn't realise I was an Indian customer.... Once again, although I didn't taste it the Gee was oozing with aroma, and not in a good way. They did happily replace this with another dish potatoe curry (no charge) . So got to give credit were its due. Sagg chicken- the worse iv defiantly had, it was like eating chicken wrapped with soggy leaves iv just pulled from my garden, and yes you guessed it, Gee was on the agenda again. The chef must get this stuff for free, it's the only assumption I can make at this moment in time. Anyway, cut a long story short the food as in taste was the worse iv been to. The reason why this place does well and has good reviews by locals or even fills seats is because people don't know real Indian food and how it should taste, I mean writing was on the wall when I got served cheddar in my paneer dish.. Any real Indian restaurant wouldn't even dare to try this, as they know this is like trying to serve a English man a pork stake opposed to a beef stake, beef is beef. Get my point. Don't think il be visiting again any time soon..

It can be dashed round fairly quickly, especially at 6.45pm. They have all you need, just not as many packs on the shelves. A few staff greeted me, which was nice as I haven't been in this branch for about a year. I used to use a venue for work nearby. In fact, I dreaded going in at times as so many of my service users go in there, but my work is out of Poole/Bournemouth from now on. I did meet a guy at the petrol -he knew me, and I know I know him, but where the heck???

Watch out in The Sun at the moment, they seem to be printing deal of the week information. The fruit and veg are plentiful and very well priced and they last to the dates put on packets. The only real let down is the cafe. Its a little run down, and shabby with clean but stained tables and little choice of food although the coffee is rather good.
