Al Abbas

This comprehensive local supermarket generally provides most of my fresh fruit and vegetables. They have an excellent selection of fresh goods which are all excellently priced from the humble English apple to things so exotic I couldn’t even name them. However, the fruit and veg is not brilliantly looked after and you’ll have to rummage around to get the best ones, but it’s worth it. Inside there is a halal butcher providing fresh meat to your tastes. Additionally there’s an enormous choice of rice, oils, juices, biscuits and breads, usually with a Middle Eastern leaning. For those emergencies when I can’t be bothered to walk all the way to Sainsbury’s, they also offer dry goods in the way of toiletries, but these are usually more expensive than their worth.
