In all seriousness though, this little fruit and veg shop is one of the nicest in Leeds. (Possibly excepting the one's in Hyde Park and Headingley!) Even so, it's silly to compare independent grocers as you go to them because they are local and better than a supermarket - I can't really imagine anyone travelling half an hour to buy their weekly veg! Something Fruity has loads in the way of choice, with their fruit always looking cared for and nicely picked, as opposed to the dumped produce often proffered by my local supermarket. Everything here seems to be plus 20% in size and value compared to the supermarket options too, which is really why one might purchase their pink lady apple here rather than at Sainsburys. They mightn't be as cheap as some of the smaller indie veg places I've perchanced, but again, we're not going to travel to those for our weekly shop so it's a bit of a moot point! At any rate, this delightfully fresh, vitamin filled shop of goodness is a winner - which makes you a winner for shopping there. You know it makes sense.

I like the way it smelt in here, very fresh and fruity. There was also a nice selection of groceries, tinned bits and chilled produced (milk and such like) but above the name, what really stuck out (something Fruity is really a good name don't you think) was the strange little flower-pot men made from logs who sit in a row at the windows edge. You can get a massive array of fruit and vegetables at a pretty good price and high quality.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

I didn't actually believe that anything substantial, let alone good, could take place in the small rose garden outside of the bar, The Arc, in Headingley. It just looked too small. But when I went last weekend it was like the space had magically morphed and increased in size! There were stalls selling organic vegetables, fruit, cheese, local wine, local meat, cakes, bread, Indian food, eggs, even a stall selling plants from a nursery in Pudsey. They had some pots of raspberry stems but I was on my bike so I couldn't get them home. Fortunately, I got their card and might pop along during the week to pick some up as they were a good price and I know they will work on the allotment as they have been grown in Leeds. Besides the market stalls there was a live band! This made it for me as usually at farmers markets you want to linger a bit but once you've made your purchases can't really find a reason to but the band was the perfect Saturday morning entertainment. If you haven't been down you better give it a go!

Firstly they discounted lines of Halal sweets and I can no longer get them anyway. They also moved the baby section to the furthest corner of the store on the bottom floor which means its a right trail plus you have to go through the toy section and my older son now bugs me every shopping trip for a new. But my biggest problem is that they now employ staff to carry around signs in front of the tills which say space here which I feel is plain stupid. Clearly I can see for myself how many people are in a queue. Totally pointless. Dispite these problem the staff in this store are usually very friendly and helpful and the prices are great so it is a good place to shop.
