Sorry to hear that this store is changing the length of its parking time to a maximum of 90 minutes…read moreand may result in a fine of £95 if you go longer than that. We have shopped happily at this store for quite a few years, but from Nov 12th 2018, when the new parking rules start we will have to go elsewhere. 90 minutes maximum for a full weeks shopping, spending maybe £90/£100 each time is not conducive to a happy experience under such a limit....certainly no time to use the restaurant for a coffee break. The changes we are told is because people are using the car park who are not shopping in the store....so Waitrose are penalizing its regular weekly shoppers who cannot conform to a 90 minute limit.....don't you want our £90/£100 per week....you need to rethink such a silly idea.

Buckle up boys and girls because this little market is going to take you for a ridiculous journey…read moredown the craft beer rabbit hole. Freshfields Market is a small easily overlooked corner shop that looks like it's only used during those times in desperation (i.e., when all the other shops are closed and you NEED an obscure herb.) WRONG. Freshfields Market has an ASTONISHING array of local and international craft beers. Seriously, there is a whole freaking WALL devoted to the fine art of artisanal brews. From the well known craft breweries like Thornbridge to the distinctly local like Cronx, Freshfields has a dizzying selection of beers that would make even the most casual of drinkers tingle with excitement. Every time my husband and I visit we stand in front of the shelves like the proverbial kids in a candy shop unable to make a decision on which of the beers to try. It is no secret that I enjoy my beer. I brew it, I'm looking for a career in it... and this, man... this shop makes me feel like a child. It makes me excited to be a part of a growing demographic of young professionals who are looking to push the boundaries of brewing. Moreover, makes me excited as a consumer to see what was once a dwindling selection of ales suddenly explode into an interest in the "traditional" beer of England. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the selection Freshfields have got your back. They've hired a seasoned-drinker and well-educated staff member to help you pick out the perfect beer for your palate. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. They not only carry bottled beer but also they have the option of purchasing four pint carry outs that are tapped from two barrels so you get your beer straight from the barrel and not bottle conditioned. As far as the prices go, they're about the price you would expect to pay for craft beer - which is to say not that cheap. However, the last two times I have gone they have done a deal on craft beers - something like 6 craft beers for £12, I can't remember. Either way, this little corner shop may seem to be like any other but don't let the outside fool you, inside it is Croydon's very own craft beer Valhalla and if it suits you, I would go on a pilgrimage as soon as possible.

Choo choo welcome to sausage town!…read more If meat is your crack, get to the Cronx and get a taste of cracking Krakow and other regional Polish produce! At the sausage bar they'll kindly let you try before you buy and they go to great 'lengths' to help you understand what's what. The gateaux and cake selections are also quite marvellous. I took an old school dark chocolate cherry gateaux to an Easter picnic and needless to say there were slim pickings when it came to having seconds. On another occasion a dense biscuity brick of a cheesecake was quite satisfactory among friends too! I promise you, you'll go wild in the aisles here and it's a great incentive to learn some Polish to find out what other potentially delicious treats are hiding behind the mysterious pretty packagings. I wouldn't want to offend anyone's Babcia but more of them ready made deli fresh pierogis to go are coming home with me next time!

Waitrose's Central Croydon branch can have a gold star. Well done chaps, you're the best…read moresupermarket in the area. This isn't a full size Waitrose, it has a limited range due to its small, urban site but you can buy the ingredients to make dinner from scratch, including seasonings and spices and that absolutely has to count for something. So while it sounds like I am somewhat damning it with faint praise, as the runners and riders are more like a donkey derby than the Epsom Derby, it only looks bad in comparison with other bigger branches, rather than the nearby Sainsbury's and Tesco. They also have a sandwich counter for lunchtimes and a full range of lunchtime sandwiches. Conceivably, you could do a full weekly shop here but it is a victim of its own success, as queues at the checkouts can be long and frustrating at peak times.

This is a pretty handy grocery store right by Petts Wood station…read more I was making Sindhi Biryani for friends who live nearby and was amazed to find the selection of spice mixes offered here - it has everything from masala mixes to kufli! My friends who live locally love this place, as they get access to a vast range of fresh produce - especially the aubergine, fenugreek, and garlic - yes the garlic is also cheaper here than other places, the coriander and mint are also very fresh and lasts longer than other places I have bought from. You can also get samosa's naan and other classic indian ingredients for all your cooking needs. Whats refreshing about this place is that it exists! Petts Wood has a lot of large franchises, such as Sainsburys, Iceland Morrisons etc...so its good to have a local business around the corner with more authentic produce. Hurrah for local business!

Ok so if you've been to one Aldi you've been to them all…read more They have used the space well to accommodate the Aldi style of selling. The Isles area stocked with the usual Aldi goods. The German and other country versions of the well recognised brands you find I the more expensive supermarkets. The pluses for this shop is the location just up the road from the train station, so whether going to work, well actually not going to work as they don't open until 8am, or coming home from work it is a good location to grab those last minute items, from eggs to flowers and not forgetting that bottle of wine!! The bit which has disappointed me is the fact that they have hung a sign from the ceiling. The sign states that if you are cuing beyond a certain point they will open another till. Not true as I and many other were cuing beyond that point and no more tills were opened!! So Aldi unless you can actually back up that claim, which Tesco used some years back and then binned it as unless you have unlimited staff knocking around doing nothing I doubt you can actually achieve it, do not make that claim!!

Always with the best prices, of course. Quality, in my opinion, is the average found in other…read moresupermarkets. So, I enjoyed shopping in this Aldi! This place opened quite recently, and in the overall impression, it still looks good, in spite of the little lack of organisation in the aisles. The trolleys are found in the entrance by the car park, in case you come walking, you will have to go all the way to the back. Gets messy towards the end of the day, always with only a few lines available, they tend to get long. But the cashiers are lightning-fast! And they are mostly friendly. They charge for the bags, but they are super sturdy. And the options available are really good, never found something looking bad or not fresh, as they claim to be.
