Can't believe there is only one review for this place. Having lived around the corner it's obvious…read morewhat an awesome little business this is. They serve the best Baguettes around, the queues on the Sat and Sun morning are proof of this. The staff are mostly french as are a lot of the customers. Everything they have in the store is fresh and really good value. Don't be put off by any queues, they move pretty fast and it's worth the wait. My favourite is the Salami and Brie baguette followed by a warmed up quiche. Easy to get hooked.

The advantages of a local grocers are that you can select as much or as little as you wish and it'll cost a little less than the local Budgens, Tesco Metro or any other local vendor. As I say, it's not massive but has everything and a little more than you'd need and the staff are pleasant. Support your local fruiterer! Ian

I recently 'found' Freshers Village Fruiterers, which is a bit silly as I live by there and pass it…read morealmost daily. But I went in recently and was amazed by what I saw. They have a wonderful selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, some of my favourites include watermelon (a slice for 75p), huge ripe avocados, sprouts, melon grapes. This is the first place where I found salad sprouts - a common staple in the States - and they have a selection including broccoli, lentils and chickpea sprouts. They also have cool things like a selection of freshly squeezed apple juice, and quail eggs. Everything I have bought there has been in perfect condition, with a sell-by date well in advance of anything I find in the supermarkets. Everything is also hugely cheaper than at Sainsburys or Tescos, even half price in many cases. In this day and age, its also refreshing to have the opportunity to pick and choose, and only buy what you need - hard to find as everything is prepackaged now. I don't have a single bad thing to say about the place and I encourage everyone who lives in the area to check it out.

This place has just opened, a small friendly cafe that has just been opened by some local people…read more They sell new and exciting home made food each day made by the husband who is a cook. The cafe has one big table which everyone sits around, with different newspapers to look at etc. Not much choice as it is a small cafe, but if you're not a picky eater its great! Also there are take away tupper ware boxes of desserts and a meal! Would reccomend it to anyone.

They have good diet books as well as books for those interested in things like digestion, sports therapies and food. Downstairs they have a clinic offering various massages, such as aromatherapy using essential oils, Indian head massage, shiatsu, reiki, sports and deep tissue massage as well as pregnancy massage and Swedish massage. The staff here are really helpful and have some good advice if you're looking for something specific. Some of the items in here can be pretty expensive as they are specialised products.

Pretty much anything that the savvy health connoisseur might require. The layout is easy to browse. Staff are pleasant. When you want to treat yourself to a facial, or complementary health consultation, there's a fairly spacious clinic downstairs. They're open later than many of the other shops in the area.

They have a far bigger range of goods too, salads, sandwiches and soups for lunch, chilled and prepared food, jams, preserves, cheeses, hams, homemade cakes and chocolates, corkscrews and linen for the table. Last time I was in there they were playing some jolly, very Christmassy and very twee music (it was November but I bet they started playing it on the first cold day in August) and the whole place smelt amazing. I managed to buy a nice chickpea salad but forgot to enquire as to the name of the band playing in the background. I was thinking maybe for my grandmother or maybe if I was having a very bad day...

Bayley and Sage is a beautiful idyllic village grocery store. It's almost like stepping back in…read moretime to an era of fresh produce straight from the locals farms with friendly local service, the only thing stopping you from believing you've slipped back in time is the contemporary style to the shop. They are also a little more upmarket than your typical grocery store. There's lots of organic produce, lots of gourmet foods and a wide selection of wines. The prices you pay reflect the quality of the products and produce you're buying but it is great and I love it. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's definitely better than heading to your local Tescos.

You can choose a whole fish and ask to have it cut the way you want: special hoven, chunks for soup or filet for the pan. They'll do it in front of you. Friendly staff.

You can taste all of them and if you choose to buy, you choose an appropriate sized container and they fill it with your chosen oil or vinegar. The idea is that this is then a container for life which you keep bringing back for re-filling. Unfortunately, in this case, the store will only be around til early January, so the concept won't really apply beyond January, so be aware of that They also sell othe herbs, spices and cookware in the rest of the shop. I did like their bruschetta mixes which you rehydrate with warm water and add real punch and flavour to bruschetta and other dishes that I can imagine. Unfortuantely, at £5.25 for a small bottle, my Chinese Thrift Gene kept my wallet firmly in my pocket. Perhaps, I'll come hunting here in the sales when they're about to shut down. Hmm, I wonder if that means I have a vulture gene? Nice store. Good presents for foodies but limited lifespan, which is a shame. They drop a star for the prices

Some people might say this means poor Cleavers is doomed to failure, but to them I say, 'Bah!' Because Cleavers is so much more than an organic specialist in all things meat; it's a wonder of a local farm shop too! I admit I've never tried any of the cuts of animal on offer, but I've tried many a farm food. From the bread to the eggs to the ready-meals to the ice cream (Taywells) to the organic wine, everything has been top-notch. Pricey but worth it. If you like supporting local farmers and local businesses, and you live in the Wandsworth area, Cleavers is your place. And, handily, it's open late for the after-work, pick-up-something-on-your-way-home crowd. As much as I love the new Sainsbury's Local a couple doors down, Cleavers will be my go-to place for specialty foods (and, if I ever eat it, meat).

And once again for two *very* well aged sirloin steaks which came to £17.80 something! They weren't big, just normal 15-20mm thickness. Tasted good, but not as awesome as the price would warrant.
