Lovely variety of foods but the butcher and Deli staff were miserable and impatient. We were spending a lot of money, the male butcher was a miserable git and the deli counter lady also needed to learn some customer service. The young lad was very helpful. A little tip, If you dont like people dont work in a shop with customers. Just saying.

Good produce and not too expensive which is often the case... Would have used the cafe too but it was rammed with a cycling club which was a shame.
