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!

My husband and I visited London a few weeks ago as we traveled from the US (Connecticut). On July…read more 16, we sat in a cute coffee shop, we saw everyone passing with these blue bags. Of course being a shopper I had to inquire. They were Fortnum & Mason bags. Of course this was our next stop. As we were perusing the aisles for a good strong breakfast tea we were approached by a tall energetic man who offered to assist us......and assist was an understatement. John B in the red coat gave us THE greatest experience ever in Fortnum & Mason and London. He gave us some history of the store and introduced us to every level of the store. I have to acknowledge each and every person I encountered on this day because you all made it a true London experience and I am forever grateful. John B thank you for your tea knowledge and enthusiasm and as a result, I came for one box of tea and left with three boxes of tea, and a canister of tea. To the beautiful young lady who sold me the box of delicious candy, and was told that great things were coming her way. We then ventured to household items and there was a great presentation and we were convinced we needed the cherry liquor which is delicious. To the young man in the alcohol section, you did a fabulous job describing the beverages and we left with a bottle of pink gin. John B returned and introduced us to the champagne bar and I purchased two bottles of champagne. Again thank you thank you and thank you again for a wonderful experience for us during our travel.

Before leaving London, I had to pop in…read more Starting my day early in the Parlor, I grabbed a small bite. My waiter was most genteel and even brought me a surprise birthday sweet treat! Post-nibbles, I traversed each floor, of course, settling on teas to acquire, for the trip home. F&M has a wide array of teas, some familiar and some which are signature to the brand. The staff are quite eager to assist, and properly demure when doing so. After completing my shopping, it's quite easy to admit that I'm now a tea snob, from this point going forward. LOL

A little sign proclaims that this confectionery was invented for an emperor several millennia ago. It's fascinating to watch as the chef starts with a piece of maltose sugar, which is elastic and this is formed into a ring shaped and with repeated dipping into toasted flour to keep the strands separate, is repeatedly stretched and twisted with each repetition tripling the number of strands. The final resulting collection of fine strands is then divided into small bunches which are put around crushed peanuts. Eaten immediately, these are soft and quite moreish. The chef says that these can be kept in the fridge but they will turn hard. It's entertainment as much as food which draws the crowds. Fun to watch but prices are a bit steep at £3 for one box and £10 for 4 boxes.

As Tom Jones sang:…read more "It's not unusual to find Lebanese nut shops on side streets in London" OK... that wasn't a hit song or pleasurable lyric. But here indeed is a small shop offering nuts from the middle east. They also offer Baklava-like pastries and other dry goods, but by any measure it's not a standard corner shop. The owner is an absolute delight... Mr. Happy. But as mentioned, this is a tiny store - not a destination to find everything you want like the Harrods of Nuts. The selection is much smaller and simple. If walking near, stop by for a snack. Go somewhere else for a meal.

I love a nice tasty sausage and this shop has a wide variety of nice tasty sausages. Just a look in…read morethe window will present you with a choice to suit a wide variety of tastes. To be honest sometimes it so hard to decide between them that I end up have a variety and enjoying a smorgasbord of sausage on my platter. It is a must visit for a BBQ or if you want something better than the grease laden, containing substance, barely identifiable as meat that you get from the supermarket.

The butchers here obviously take pride in their work, so the prices and quality are definitely at the high end of the scale. Not only are the pigs not safe, but ducks, deer, ostrich and kangaroo are among the animals that have ended up on the menu here. There is also a few varieties of veggie sausage, but both times I've enquired there's only been one or two out of the four available I guess they don't get many vegetarians here. I recommend the scrumpy sausage, over the chicken sausage I tried. Oh, and if you're rich; they deliver.

We ate lunch and had a cold beer from the Old Brewery then attended a tour of the Cutty Sark, which is a huge replica ship from the 1800s. They even had a ferris wheel for the kiddies.

Seeing this on here has reminded me and i am going to start going again. The sausages in particular are great. It is also easy to stop close by so easier than going into the main town. Not sure how the prices compare to the supermarket but the quality is definately better.
