Freshers Village Fruiterers

I recently ‘found’ Freshers Village Fruiterers, which is a bit silly as I live by there and pass it almost 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.

Just a grocers, not big, not the best grocers ever but does exactly what you want from a grocers — supplies you with fruit and veg (and some dairy).
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!
