Barry’s Convenience Store

Barry’s is a fantastic convenience store! Stocked with a huge range of food, magazines, newspapers, and other household essentials. Unlike most convenience stores they don’t bump up the price of everything just because they can. The prices are reasonable and if you’ve forgotten to get anything on your weekly shop then you’re more than likely to find it here.
Staff are friendly too and there’s a small post office here which is also super handy!
Last time I was here I bought some Tunnocks Teacakes and I ate the whole box to myself, mmm…

This is an excellent — and rather large — convenience store. It has quite a range of the basics — which a surprising number of other newsagents don’t — fruit and veg, dried pastas and rices, mags and newspapers and ice creams. It also stocks rows and rows of sinful stuff — wine by the gallon and ready chilled beers and ciders for when you really need a cold one with dinner. Likewise, the cigarette range is mightily impressive (possibly the closest to a tobacconist I’ve seen since good olde Herbet Love days).
Meanwhile, there is also a post office counter which is available for pick ups ’till later than elsewhere. Though, if you are desperately In a rush to post something off at lunch time, give yourself plenty of time due to the screeds of pensioners who seem to congregate here.
It has everything you might need in a hurry: an onion for a last minute basic home cooked dinner; some booze to buy on the way for the bus while heading out for a party or a newspaper to keep you occupied during the day. Barry’s the the rescue.

A cracking convenience store with a Post Office attached, Barry’s shows other local shops how it should be done. A huge selection of snacks, sweets, magazines, groceries and booze, friendly staff who actually remember who you are, and a fully stocked Ben and Jerry’s fridge. You really can’t ask for more from a shop like this.
Utter class.
