It was exciting today to walk into Mikes in Ilminster. I've visited this amazing Market Town a…read morecouple of times in the past week or so. It is truly a fascinating place and very worthwhile visiting. People there are so friendly those you meet on the street and those you meet in the intriguing stores along the main street. A Fishmonger, Greengrocer and Florist is a creative combination and from the moment you step into the store you sense you are a welcome friend. The various items on sale are so artistically arranged. They are easy to see and examine. The staff are very client-focussed and desire to really provide just the items you are seeking. It took me back a few decades when I used to visit relations in Surrey who ran a couple of similar stores as well as mobile stores throughout the area. It really is satisfying to see customers really served with expertise. Check out these good folk yourselves. Global Nomad

Me and the boyf have been determined to buy all our fruit and veg from here because it's yummy and local and they're the only one I know of that accept Bristol pounds. We are starting to juice too and this would be costing a lot more if we were buying from a supermarket. There's something really satisfying and almost smug about buying really fresh, a little bit more grubby and wonky, and a whole lot more delicious produce from the greengrocers! They also do little extra treats like jam and chutney!

I'm on a mission at the moment to use supermarkets as little as possible. Spurned on by my love of…read moreThe Bristol Pound and supporting local, independent businesses - I've found my greengrocer, and I love it! Here you'll find wonky carrots, dirty potatoes and odd shaped oranges; just how the come out of the ground (or tree) and how they should be. Gardeners Patch sell pretty much any standard fruit and veg you would want. You wont find too much international out of the ordinary, but you will find inspiration if you're trying to think of a meal to cook. The staff are really nice and very helpful. I asked lots of potato related questions: best for mashing, roasting etc and they were happy to help. I've by a weeks worth (2 bigs bags) of fruit and veg for less than £10 each time I go. They accept Bristol Pounds and 'Text to Pay'

The Fruit and Veg Stall is situated next to Ice Master and Rainbow Bargain, a huge home and garden…read morestore, which occupies the former Methodist Church where Wellfield Road meets Albany Road in Roath. It doesn't have an official name, and there are no published contact details for the place either. But this is of little consequence, the business has occupied this spot on Wellfield Road for as long as anyone can remember, and has been patronised by the locals in their hoards, as the pictures I've supplied bares testimony to... Being a licensed concession allows it to trade without need for an address, and as long as it is not taken beyond the boundaries of the licence agreement, it can be put anywhere where the owners wish to site the mobile stall. But, come rain or shine, you will find it in the same place, selling very reasonably priced perishables that are always incredibly fresh. They occasionally carry organic items, but are reliant on what's available at the suppliers, so they tend to stock goods that are in season that carry an affordable price tag. Nevertheless, they always have a good variety of fruit and veg on offer, even if one or two items are not always consistently available.

I used to hate these kinds of stores. I grew up in a family of people equal parts Splott, the docks…read moreand Trowbridge, so visiting these stalls was the done thing, as befits people from areas where community actually still exists. I'd be dragged to my grampy's favourite seller, whom he knew personally and from whom I always got a free apple. My dad would cart me around car boot sales, talking to sellers about what they've got and what's just come in and what's in season. I was made to carry potato sacks from these places with my nan. The huge range of produce which was always fruit and never chocolate, and their weird, braying voices always made me hate them as a child. As an adult though, I find myself drawn to these kinds of stalls because I have since become healthy, as adults are meant to be, and my desire for chocolate has decreased. I spent a year living just across the road from this stall, and it never failed to satisfy. Like all fruit stalls, the range can vary depending on the season and what he's been able to get hold of, but the prices and the range are fantastic and you get a wonderful sense of achievement from shopping here that Tesco and Morrison's just don't give you.

Annie's IS Totnes for me! I have been coming since they…read morefirst set up shop. The food is fresh & of the best quality : they sell to all the restaurants in town,so that says it all really,doesnt it? They have a huge range of Olives,Olive oil,Vinegars & cheeses too. Even saw a real Olive in there once (Jamie Oliver) They will deliver in the Totnes area &, as the town is quite hilly, it is a blessing for some with no garden, to look forward to receiving their weekly box of tatties,carrots & neeps, rather than lugging them homeward themselves

Where else can you buy a whole box of tomatoes for a couple of quid and tomatoes that really taste like a tomato should.

They have a good selection of interesting cheeses. Even though it was empty on a weekday afternoon, the cheesemonger didn't seem particularly interested in helping us since we weren't buying a ton. I know it's annoying to let us sample and then cut a bunch of 100 g pieces, but we just didn't have anywhere to store the cheese on our trip. They also have lots of cheese tools and cheese related gifts, as well as their own crackers and lots of various spreads. It's a pretty cute and complete shop.

I was very, very pleased to see a Paxton and Whitfield here in Bath. I used to love walking down…read moreJermyn St in London and once a year, I'd walk in the P & W there and bought a special Christmas treat to take home. Paxton and Whitfield was always a London institution. And I love old traditional shops, especially businesses as old as this one. So, I went into this shop hopeful I could find a special treat for a picnic. It was lovely, a really special experience. The young man in the shop was really helpful and knowledgeable and friendly and not in the least bit snooty. There were lots of beautiful artisan cheeses from all over, including some special local cheeses. Suffice it to say that I tasted some beautiful cheeses in there and took some lovely stuff home with me. I can only recommend that you do the same. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
