Spar

This Spar has been around for years, and as Spars go its pretty good. They have freshly baked bread and locally sourced meats as well as the usual goods that you would expect from a small convenience store. They also have regular promotions,
and on top of the freezers they always keep a selection of nearly out of date baked goods (ideal for stocking up the freezer) My criticisms though are they need to improve on the cider selection as just stocking strongbow and stella cidre just wont do, and PLEASE bring back the freshly cooked spit roast chicken ! However if unlike me your not to bothered about cider or spit roast chicken this Spar has everything you need.

A very convienient shop with very helpful and friendly staff. Unfortunately it has gone down hill a little since it changed hands a few years ago. Whilst the staff are still excellent, some items I like are no longer stocked and the staff tell me that the owner refuses to stock them. The staff are just as good as ever but the current owner seems less willing to meet the customers needs than the pervious one.
I still use it regularly and hope the staff will slowly educate their (not so new now) boss.

Now this Spar is in no way as grand as the other one that I reviewed previously, but it sure does have all those little essentials that you need from a conveinience store. The only downside to Spar are the prices of the products themselves, I mean sometimes it feels as though you are paying twice the typical recommended retail price of some of there items — which is a shame because it is always a nice clean, well decorated shop to go to. I can’t say that I frequent this place very often, but when I do pop in I always manage to find what I am looking for and they always seem to stock those little items that you don’t necessarily buy in your ‘big shop’ but find that you need at the most awkward times. Good and Convienient.

We all know what a spar gives you, a slightley more regal (upmarket I guess) corner shop!
You feel like your buying your bread with style! mainly because the price is a bit more expenisve and all the food is obviousley such a better quality.
Good for a quick stop to buy a couple of items, but make sure you don’t get carried away and speding far too much on not very much!

Lovely little local shop that stocks a surprising amount of produce. The fresh bread is lovely with their ham and a lot of the items are locally produced, thus saving on the dreaded air miles.
We love our Spar!!!

Lovely shop if you need to pop in for some essentials! They have quite a good range of products and for not too bad a price. I always find that most staff are pleasant however i have come across the odd rude one.

This is where is used to do most of my weekly essential shopping, but alas its not what it used to be. High prices, low stock, definitely not where i’d shop anymore.

Lovely little local shop. Plenty to choose from, has fresh meat, fresh bread and bakery all included in this little shop, which is fabulous. Good value for money and plenty of magazines, another bonus is that it also does the lottery!
