Bob Staples has been in the precinct for many years now. I use it at least twice a week. How lovely to have an actual greengrocers.....mud and all!! It is much better than the supermarkets with their pre-packed produce! Not only do they sell fruit and veg but a good selection of nuts, sweets and bird food!! Their pickles are brilliant too! No extra packaging to recycle! The shop is a little dark! and often very cold...but the staff are cheerful and helpful. Its also really convenient for the bus stop so if you do need those spuds...you dont have to carry them too far. Also just across the road from the car park.

for all the best fresh veg in the area it has to be bob staples located next to the bookies in the town. they have fresh fruit and veg every day, the prices are also very good considering they are a small retailer. but they certainly give the big names like tescos a run for their money! you also get that extra level of service with it being a small retailer.

ReportI have not been in this shop for around 4 years, However the quality and pricing has always been reasonable. However I did pop into this shop a couple of days ago and the outside show looked poor and was nearly empty. Inside sadly was not much better. They seem very low on stock at the moment.
