Great little newsagents offering all the usual things that one requires of a newsagent :)…read moreNewspapers, chocolate, milk and bread.. Really friendly people work in here as well and are always really helpful with anything that you need. They are always well stocked at least I've never had a problem).And my favourite thing is you can buy hot freshly cooked food, like bacon chesters or sarnies. You can even phone up with an order and then pick up later on

Sadly, having just been charged £4.20 for a burnt toasted cremated bacon sandwich with barely any ketchup in, it is time to think again about going here. The staff were rude and their justification for charging such a hideous amount is the time spent toasting the bread and ruining the bacon. Seriously, go elsewhere.

Sandy News has been around so long there's a possibility it is mentioned in the Domesday book…read more I jest of course, but it's longevity is testament to the fact that it's always been able to adapt to an ever-changing marketplace. In the good old days, magazines and newspapers filled one entire wall of the shop, the rest taken up with a service counter behind which there was the then-ubiquitous array of cigarettes. Now the place is facing stiffer competition from a local small supermarket which is also offering newspapers and magazines. So, Sandy News upped the ante provocatively selling an ever-increasing selection of grocery items itself... often at prices keener than it's corporate rival. It has made the walkways between the shelving a little on the tight 'squeezy' side, but it's always nicer (to me anyway) to give "need bread now" cash to this kind of operation rather than a faceless corporation It's a business that has been passed down from father to son - or was it mother to son? I can't remember - and, as such, the staff are loyal and long-standing, often greeting customers by their name ... something which will always endear me to any retail outlet. Sadly, this kind of shop is a slowly-dying breed - the growth of online information and news making people forget eschew the daily printed word - but I say support them whilst you can... there's always room for a resurgence!
