Fruit & Veg does not come better than this! FRESH everyday…read morefrom the market and not pre packed, you can choose your own from the huge selection Matthew provides daily with a smile. I have never tasted apples like the ones this local independent and trust worthy shop has to offer, and there is always locally grown seasonal produce. Matthew always makes the effort to find fresh produce that has been grown within 50 miles of his shop and labels them for all his customers to see. An added bonus is if there is something particular you are after, all you have to do is ask and the next day you have the best quality of it! There is a free delivery service if you cant carry your 10lb of spuds and carrots etc home with you or if you cant get to the shop at all which is fab for the older generation. Also THE BEST place for Christmas trees! Always service with a smile :)
I Love Grapevine. The fruit and vegetables are always so fresh and delicious. It's really quite a…read morelarge shop and sells more than the average fruit shop; there's a small range of cooking extras: sauces, oils and dressings, herbs, and fresh eggs, and a fantastic indoor and outdoor plant section, with cut flowers and bedding plants all available. There's always great offers on the fruit, Tuesday I bought a big strawberries for £1 and they were just divine! Great place, but it's a long way to walk back to the train station (or the car park) with heavy purchases.. I don't think home delivery is available.

Parbold Fruit & Veg is a greengrocers owned and managed by the Italian-English Patitucci family. I…read morehighly recommend this place - I buy most of my fresh produce from here. Delivery is free of charge within a five mile radius, or you can visit the shop. The 'shop' is a 'no-frills' affair, a double garage at the rear of the Patitucci family home. So you can rest assured that you are not paying through the nose for expensive premises - no, sir! Their produce is of four grades - Regular, Local, Organic and Paolo's. 'Paolo's' denotes produce grown in the greenhouses and market gardens to the rear of the garage - as far as I know, I would consider it a sort of 'uncertified organic' as my information is that Paolo does not use chemical pesticides, etc. Paolo is the grandfather of the family, who moved from southern Italy to Lancashire in 1955, and is as devoted a market gardener as you could hope to find. Here is an article I found about Paolo Patitucci in the local newspaper http://www.osadvertiser.co.uk/news/ormskirk-news/2009/09/10/parbold-gardener-paulo-patitucci-s-back-with-his-gigantic-green-beans-80904-24645160/ So basically, all the fruit and vegetables are at least good quality, with a lot of it winning extra brownie points for being local and fresh. Plus, with Paolo's characterful vegetables and herbs, and additional organic market produce, the super-healthy niche market is well catered for. They also stock a nice selection of organic delicatessen items, plus homemade jams, etc. The business side of things is now run by Paolo's son Vince, who is another fantastic gentleman. From what I've seen of him, I would say Vince is a bit of a dude. Such as - when it was still glass milk bottles - carrying two crates of milk in each hand. Without braggadocio. Lastly, they are totally fair and honest, which is a boon when buying fresh produce.

Neil's is the largest of the greengrocers in the market, with an outurned corner stall. As a big…read morefan of greengrocers as a means of stocking up on fruit and veg for the week, I was most impressed with Neil's. Of all the greengrocers I have seen, I have never once comented on a beautiful display. Normally, it comes part and parcel of having a fruit and veg shop, and the produce is just stacked up, without having had much thought put into it. Neil's however is the exception. With carrots fanned out and everything looking perfect in its place, thought has evidentally gone int every inch of the stall, and quite frankly it is the most tempting fruit and veg stall I have ever seen! Fantastic. Prices are competitive, but not a patch on what you'd pay elsewhere.
It's good to see that there's still room for an old-fashioned greengrocers somewhere in Leeds. Over…read morethe past few years, I've noticed them disappear in other nearby suburbs such as Cookridge and Adel, but this one on Town Street has held its ground. It offers a pretty impressive selection of fresh fruit and veg, some of which is local, and all of which is more appealing than that which is on offer just up the road in Morrisons. It will probably cost you more per item than the supermarket, but for those people who like to feel, admire and choose their own groceries, this is a small price to pay.
William Ellis the greengrocers are opposite Gregg's the Bakers on Market Lane. William Ellis is a…read morefamily based company established on Market Lane since the early 1980's. The greengrocers offer a wide range of fruits and vegetables, fresh flowers and bulbs. The store is a busy one that competes well against Tesco, Morrison's and now Sainsbury's and is popular with the locals. As local's ourselves we try to shop outside the supermarkets as much as possible and now and with the credit crunch it's really worth comparing the prices. William Ellis are always a few pennies cheaper per item than the supermarkets but when you are buying the weekly fruit and vegetables is really adds up.

You can pick up a bag of carrots for around £1.50, lettuce £1.50, potatoes £2.50. you can also get hold of Christmas trees in the season at around £35-40 and pumpkins.

I'm a massive tea and coffee fan, so it follows that I would enjoy looking at what they have in store! They have a number of different coffees, both strengths and flavours, instant and filter varieties. They have a number of different teas too, from green, white, herbal, fruit, black, leaf, instant and bagged! Phew. Lots and lots of tea. You can buy variety packs of both tea and coffee, which make great gifts for tea and coffee lovers like myself! The only bad bit is that the majority of their products don't have the fair trade marker, which is a must for me. They also do other items such as china sets, cafetieres and so on. I bought an incredibly reasonable £15 cafetiere as a Christmas gift, together with a lovely glass mug for £4 and some coffee for £2.50! My friend was given a tea pot and cup and saucer from Whittards too, and she absolutely adores it. The shop was very tidy and the staff were efficient so everything was alright by me. Pleasant shop and their products are lovely.

This far exceeded my expectations and also was quite a bit more tasty than Betty's. Would definitely visit again soon!
TL;DR - Prestwich's very own co-operative food store…read more Chorlton has the Unicorn Grocery - Prestwich has Village Greens. It may not be as big as it's south Manchester contemporary, but it's got bags of character. It's more about being a local community store than being a hippy hang out. This is a place for people who care about their food, rather than people who are trying to lead an alternative lifestyle. As such, whilst there's a lot of locally sourced fruit and veg (and things from further afield) you'll also find lots of dairy and meat for sale as well. There's fresh, chilled and store cupboard foods on sale - all ethically sourced, and much of it organic. They even do household products too, with an emphasis on being environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Behind the counter there is freshly baked bread and an assortment of gorgeous looking cakes and desserts. Staff are always helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The store has a lot of competition in the area, with an enormous Tesco nearby, Aldi down the road and an M&S Food Hall practically next door - but it genuinely offers something different to the area and is well worth some of your hard earned pennies.

The staff are exceptionally warm & welcoming and lots of fun, and are very happy to stock products if not available, and can be easily sourced. This is my (fairly local) main shop and stocks a huge variety for it's size. It's like a little family in there and you feel part of a "community". If you really want to get serious about looking after your health.....Village Greens is the place to come.
This is a medium sized branch of Morrisons and one of the better options for a super market in…read moreLeeds city centre. Most of the facilities you'd expect from a supermarket of this size are available, including butchers, bakers, fishmongers, deli counter, and so on. The branch is large enough to house a certain amount of home ware and some clothing as well as a section for magazines, books, DVDs and games. Perhaps because of the slightly strange shape of the store, the alcohol section is accessed separately with its own entrance and set of checkouts. I suspect this probably makes things slightly more efficient. Staff are generally helpful and friendly, although the store is well enough laid out that I haven't often needed help to find things. The only thing the store is really lacking is a cafe, but given that it's located in the city centre and within a shopping centre this isn't really much of a loss.
This Morrisons has a lot of good points. It stocks a decent range of products, including 'Free…read moreFrom' stuff, and it's got a good homewares section. The main downside is that it's incredibly busy at peak times, which unfortunately, is when I want to go - at lunchtimes or just after work. It's also quite tired and lacks a customer toilet. The booze section is kept seperate from the main part of the supermarket, which is convenient if you just want to nip in and grab a bottle of something for a tipple after work, but on the flipside it's quite annoying when they have offers on that require you to spend £x in one transaction and they won't honour the two purchases across two tills, even though if you had exactly the same trolley of shopping at a supermarket with a booze aisle instead you'd have qualified. Anyway, needs must, so I'll continue as a regular customer, it's really handy for work, and stocks a great range which puts it ahead of your 'Express' and 'Metro' type stores in the city centre.
A decent Morrisons store, although it might not be as large/modern as Sainsbury's across the way…read moreand does offer fewer facilities (no mobile scanning or optician/pharmacy), this store is okay. The selection in most areas is fine, and I do like the fact they have Amazon Lockers here which is the one big plus compared to Sainsbury's across the way. The central location makes it easy to access from Bolton town centre, as it is a stone's throw away from the train station and nearby retail park, access as a pedestrian can be a little tricky as it means having to walk the whole length of the road outside, it's a shame they haven't made a cut-through which would be easy to do for any reputable construction company. It was a little hard to find staff members on the shop floor, perhaps this is due to ongoing social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19 as I have begun to notice this more often lately, even at other supermarkets. 3* - OK, worth an upgraded rating.
I would really like to give this Morrisons a 3.5 rather than a 3 or a 4. Morrisons is close to the…read morebus station and the Bolton Market. It is also just across the street from Sainsbury's as well as some other stores. So it is fairly central and hard to miss. The traffic in the car park is a bit of a nightmare... taxis waiting, cars not being able to get by because of the awkward shape of some parts of the car park. That is one of the reasons, I can't give the place five stars. However, there is a car park below the store that doesn't seem quite so busy and is great when it is pouring down outside. It is a paid car park... we missed that the first time, but fortunately it was such a quick trip we didn't have to worry about a ticket. Oops. There is a petrol station, which might also be causing some of the traffic problems. There is a covered area where you can wait for a taxi, but it doesn't seem to be large enough. There is an ATM as well. Another complaint I have, the large spinning doors to the store. One of the reasons for parking below the store... not having to put up with the spinning doors! There always seems to be someone who doesn't know how to use it and the whole thing just stops. Not to mention carts and this contraption are just not a good combination. They have a cafe and while it is cheap, I think I would prefer to pick up a snack at the deli or bakery at the back of the store. The store is always super busy and can make a quick shop a bit of a challenge. I do like their bakery and actually think they have some better looking (and tasting) dessert options than some of the other supermarkets in town. I also like their deli... really I like the part next door where they are baking pies, pasties, and sausage rolls. They always have fresh pasties and sausage rolls... sometimes they are still warm! Their pork and cranberry sausage rolls are my favourite! I think their produce area could use a bit of work as sometimes it looks a bit of a mess. I also tend to skip the frozen section. There are usually queues at the tills, but the staff are friendly. There are usually a number of self-checkout machines that are not working, so I usually skip the self-checkout here. Overall, there are some great parts of the store, but I wouldn't consider this for my normal, weekly shops.

Before Tesco arrived in Failsworth, I used to shop in Morrisons quite often.

One day they decided to stop me from buying more than 6 of any one item, even though I had been doing for about a year or so. The different staff to whom I was used to dealing with was so different - they were rude and very unhelpful, one morning when I was told I couldn't buy their product, I pushed my trolley at them and walked out (without my pound I had put in the trolley). Bad customer service. It has been about 3 years since I have been back, and nothing has changed, with one exception - less customers. All the products were the same, in the same place with the same packaging. The store was the same - very old fashioned and dimly lit , And the staff are the same. Rude, bad mannered and don't seem to have been trained in keeping the customer happy. I wandered round the very very empty (customer wise) store I was feeling more and more depressed and just wanted to leave. I had just nipped in since I had visited a friend who lived near by, for some sauce for my noodles. I picked them up and headed for the till, paid and went to the Lotto till. The woman behind the counter was a little further up from me leaning on the counter chatting to a man. She looked over at me and leant back on the counter to carry on her conversation. I tapped on the floor with my foot and waited patiently. A few minutes later she wandered over. I handed her my winning scratch card and she looked at me, looked at the emblem on my jumper and looked at me again - so what if it was a pole dancer. She scanned my winning card and looked at me again. So i looked back. She took the £2 from the till and I asked for two more cards with the winnings. She looked at me (without smiling once) and asked "you are over 16 aren't you?" so I replied "yes, I am 24". I have always looked young and am always being ID-ed so always carry my driving license. She didn't ask me for it. Just tutted, walked over to the other till and then shouted "that'll be £2". Confused I said "what will", "the scratch cards", "no, use the winning £2". She had forgotten I had just given her a winning card and she had put the money in her hand and it was still there. She tried explaining to me the scratch cards would cost me £2. Anyway I explained her job to her and she put her hand out to give me the cards, tutted and looked away. Skanky woman. I will never be returning to this place. And I didn't win on the new scratch cards. That is her fault. She probably fixed it.

I go there for the basics like milk and marge, but also for rice, herbs, spices, cheap cleaning items, large bags of dried fruit and nuts, oven chips, frozen samosas, and tahini and tinned chickpeas for making my own hummus. They also have a very big range of soft drinks. Service at the till is no better or worse than most shops, the people at the tills are mostly young and a little offhand, like shop assistants in most small businesses. But they are helpful if you need to ask them where to find something. I like that they open slightly longer than average hours, too, it makes it more convenient to shop here.
